Andy Cohen is revealing how much he pays his babysitter to watch his little ones.
During Monday’s episode of Andy Cohen Live, the Bravo star, 58, was chatting with his longtime friend Jeff Lewis, 56, when they compared how much they each pay their babysitters.
Cohen, who is dad to son Ben, 7, and daughter Lucy, 4, shared that he pays his 23-year-old babysitter $30 an hour, which Lewis called “cheap.”
“That sounds cheap to me. Especially from someone with your money,” he said. “She was there for two hours, and you gave her 60 bucks? Did that even cover the cab?”

Cohen noted that his babysitter was recently there for two hours and 15 minutes, and he gave her $70.
“I probably would’ve given her 100 for two hours, two kids,” Lewis added.
As for Lewis, he said that he pays his babysitter $37 an hour to watch his 9-year-old daughter, Monroe.

Cohen welcomed his first child, son Benjamin, in February 2019. Three years later, the Bravo host added his second child, daughter Lucy, to the family in April 2022.
“Family means everything to me and having one of my own is something that I have wanted in my heart for my entire life,” Cohen said on Watch What Happens Live in December 2018, shortly before his son’s birth. “Though it’s taken me longer than most to get there, I cannot wait for what I envision will be the most rewarding chapter yet.”
Cohen, who was 50 when his son Ben was born, also said that he’d “never thought it would be possible“ for him to have a family.
“When I was growing up ... I just never thought it would be possible as a gay man to grow up and have a family,” he continued. “I’m so grateful to a wonderful surrogate that I’m working with.”
Earlier this summer, the Watch What Happens Live host confirmed his relationship with boyfriend Kevin Sobieski on Radio Andy, and shared how he approached introducing him to his two children.
Cohen revealed that he and his boyfriend were very “slow and deliberate” with how they integrated Sobieski into his and his kids’ lives.
“This man is kind and strong and smart, and he’s an adult and he loves my children, and they love him and I love him,” Cohen said. “And we have been so slow, and deliberate and methodical about getting to know each other and introducing him into the kids and just entering him into the equation of my family so slowly, and I have to say it has been so easy.”
