He’s the illustrious producer behind the Real Housewives empire, Project Runway, on top of being a doting father to his son Benjamin. 

But Andy Cohen is also a proud dog dad to Wacha, and he made time on Tuesday to take the rescue pup out. 

The 51-year-old Bravo mega-producer multitasked on his cellphone while walking through the streets of New York City.

Cohen bundled up for some cold weather in the Big Apple, donning a plush black utility coat with a white fluffy extra high collar. 

He teamed it with black joggers and matching black and grey sneakers. 

Cohen seemed to have wireless earbuds in as he walked and added some black rimmed glasses.  

The Watch What Happens Live host snuggled what appeared to be a blue jar of peanut butter into his packet as he walked.

He followed alongside his pup via a red leash. Wacha, known as Wacha Cohen on Instagram seemed to enjoy some time outside. 

Cohen adopted Wacha in 2013 from a kill shelter in West Virginia that November. 

The dog’s name is after former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha, Cohen of course hails from St. Louis.

Speaking on his pup to Today back in 2016 Cohen said he was initially hesitant to take in dog, never having one growing up and due to the responsibility. 

Adding: ‘”I was thinking that if I get this dog, I’m going to be with it for the rest of his life. And that scared me.’ 

But within moments of bringing Wacha home to the West Village, he knew it was love.  

Saying: ‘I thought I was saving Wacha, but he really rescued me.’

Other baby: Along with Wacha, Cohen is also father to his one year old son Benjamin, who he welcomed via surrogate in February 2019

Wacha isn’t Cohen’s only (fur) baby, he also welcomed his son Benjamin, aged one, last February. 

Since welcoming Benjamin in February via surrogate, Cohen opened up about the possibilities of having a second child. 

While chatting with Flipping Out’s Jeff Lewis on SiriusXM Radio Andy’s Jeff Lewis Live show last month, the Watch What Happens Live Host revealed that he has ‘at least one’ embryo left to be used if he desires, and that he’s ‘thinking about’ having another child. 

During the guest appearance, as reported by People Magazine, Lewis asked Cohen about whether there was another ‘baby cooking right now.’

‘I’m thinking about it,’ was Andy’s response, and when Jeff pressed further, asking about whether he had any more embryos left, Andy revealed a bit more.

‘I have at least one,’ was all he would say on the matter. 

This isn’t the first time Cohen has voiced a desire to grow his family — as early as June, he told Extra that ‘I might consider having another [child] — I’m thinking about it.’

Cohen recently appeared on the cover of People Magazine with his son, where he opened up about his experience as a gay single father.
