Paparazzi photos from Andy Cohen's birthday celebration on Tuesday night have the internet buzzing about his romantic life. The Bravo executive and host of Watch What Happens Live was spotted holding hands with Kevin Sobieski as they left Via Carota, a popular Italian restaurant in Manhattan's West Village.
The Photos and the Speculation
TMZ was first to publish the images, reporting from an unnamed source that the two men have been dating for several months. The hand-in-hand moment quickly circulated on social media, with the gossip account DeuxMoi captioning their post by identifying Sobieski as Cohen's boyfriend, interlocking fingers visible in the shot. Cohen's close friend Bruce Bozzi, a West Coast confidant, fueled further speculation by responding to the post with heart emojis, a gesture many interpreted as silent confirmation.
Just Jared followed with additional photos from a separate outing in Miami, showing the two men together in a casual setting. To date, neither Cohen nor Sobieski has issued a public comment about the dating rumors.
Who Is Kevin Sobieski?
Sobieski, 42, works as a portfolio operations specialist at the asset management firm TPG, focusing on healthcare investments. Before being linked to Cohen, he was in a public relationship with Broadway composer Benj Pasek from 2018 to 2022. The two made their red carpet debut together at the opening night of Dear Evan Hansen at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles and were last spotted together on a red carpet in 2022.
Cohen's Dating History
Cohen, 58, has largely kept his romantic life private in recent years. His last publicly documented relationship was with epidemiologist Clifton Dassuncao around 2016. By 2018, Cohen was discussing his single status on podcasts, and in 2023 he confirmed on air that he was single and "easy to find" on dating apps, a claim he repeated in 2024. Between his demanding role at Bravo and parenting his two children, Ben and Lucy, Cohen has had little time for the dating scene, until now, if the paparazzi photos are any indication.
