Andy Cohen has officially confirmed his relationship with New York businessman Kevin Sobieski.

The Bravo host revealed on SiriusXM's Radio Andy that the couple has been together for nearly a year, having met at a July 4th party last year.

This confirmation follows recent rumors after Cohen was photographed holding hands with Sobieski in New York.

Cohen, 58, expressed his happiness, stating, "I can’t believe I found this guy.

I just, I cannot believe it." He shared that he had always maintained specific criteria for a partner, prioritizing a genuine connection over rushing into a relationship.

"I will know when I meet the person," he previously stated, emphasizing his value for his time, life, friends, and children.

The relationship became public knowledge after photos circulated by a social media gossip account, DeuxMoi, showed Cohen with Sobieski.

Cohen admitted he was disappointed the news broke before he could share it himself, as he had planned to announce it around their one-year anniversary in July.

## The Beginning of Their Romance

Cohen recounted the story of how he and Sobieski met, revealing he almost didn't attend the July 4th party where they first encountered each other.

Upon seeing Sobieski, Cohen felt compelled to speak with him.

The two spent the entire night talking, and Cohen made sure to give Sobieski his number, even double-checking to ensure it was correct.

Over the past 11 months, their relationship has steadily grown.

Cohen described Sobieski as "kind and strong and smart," highlighting that he is an adult who loves Cohen's children, and they, in turn, love him.

The couple has taken a slow and deliberate approach to their relationship, carefully integrating Sobieski into Cohen's family life.

Interestingly, Cohen shared that he had confided in some of the Real Housewives about his new romance well before the public announcement.

He noted that the Housewives proved capable of keeping secrets, as the news did not leak despite him showing them pictures of Sobieski at BravoCon.

This development offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a prominent entertainment figure who often discusses the relationships of others.
