When Bravo throws a party, you know it’s going to be next-level—and when it’s for Andy Cohen, the man who built the Real Housewives universe, the bar is set sky-high. On Saturday, January 26, 2019, some of the biggest personalities from every Housewives city gathered in Beverly Hills to celebrate the arrival of Andy’s first child. And let’s just say, this wasn’t your average baby shower with pastel balloons and diaper cakes.
Is Andy Cohen Having a Boy or a Girl?
The big reveal? Andy Cohen is having a boy! Exciting, right? The announcement had Housewives and fans alike buzzing. You could feel the love and excitement in the air as Bravo’s leading ladies raised their glasses to toast Andy’s new role: dad.
A Baby Shower with a Theme
Of course, the party needed a theme fitting for Bravo royalty. And in true dramatic, fabulous style, the shower was called “A Star Is Born.” Could there be anything more appropriate? After all, Andy’s baby was already a star before even making his debut. The theme tied perfectly into Andy’s world of glitz, cameras, and center-stage storytelling.
Where It All Happened
The shower took place at The Palm restaurant in Beverly Hills—a legendary hotspot with a personal connection to Andy. The Palm is owned by his longtime friend Bruce Bozzi Jr., a name fans of Andy’s books will recognize. Bruce and Andy’s friendship goes way back, and Andy often drops anecdotes about him in Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture and Superficial: More Adventures from the Andy Cohen Diaries.
Choosing The Palm wasn’t just about good food and location—it was about celebrating in a place filled with personal meaning and history. That touch made the event feel even more special.
Housewives from Every City
One of the most jaw-dropping parts of the shower was the guest list. This wasn’t just Beverly Hills’ crew showing up—Housewives from every single franchise flew in to celebrate Andy. Imagine Dorinda Medley, Teresa Giudice, NeNe Leakes, Ramona Singer, Kyle Richards, and countless others, all in one room together. For Bravo fans, this was basically the Super Bowl.
Each woman brought her signature flair, and naturally, the Instagram Stories were overflowing. From dance floors to over-the-top toasts, it was a Bravo crossover event like no other.
Why This Party Mattered
Yes, it was glamorous, yes, it was packed with stars, and yes, the Housewives know how to bring the drama wherever they go. But beyond the glitz, this shower had something really meaningful at its heart. It was about celebrating Andy’s new chapter. After years of watching Housewives navigate their own families, children, and drama, fans got to see the spotlight shift onto Andy himself—about to step into fatherhood with all the love and support around him.
It was a reminder that beneath the big personalities, Andy is more than just the face of Bravo. He’s someone embarking on one of life’s greatest adventures, and his Housewives family showed up for him in the best way possible.
Final Thoughts
Andy Cohen’s baby shower wasn’t just another Bravo party—it was a celebration filled with symbolism, friendship, and a lot of love. From the “A Star Is Born” theme to the heartfelt location at The Palm, every detail reflected Andy’s journey from TV host and producer to proud dad-to-be.
And if one thing is certain, it’s that Andy’s son is already part of the Bravo family—before even stepping foot in front of a camera.
