Anderson Cooper Is Leaving CBS News’ ’60 Minutes’ After Nearly 20 Years — Details

From the start, Anderson raised Wyatt alongside his friend and former partner, Benjamin Maisani, with whom he had previously been in a long-term relationship. Although the pair had separated in 2018, they remained close.

By the time Wyatt was 16 months old, their arrangement had settled into a rhythm. Anderson described their dynamic as strong. He considered Benjamin a great parent and said they loved each other as family.

He acknowledged that while they occasionally disagreed on minor parenting decisions — such as when Wyatt should attend swimming class or whether he should wear overalls — those were small “all silly, minor things. We get along great,” he said.

Anderson explained that their decision to co-parent was grounded in mutual respect. Benjamin, for his part, noted, “Anderson has changed a lot since Wyatt arrived. He’s happy and relaxed in a way he’s never been before. Wyatt has grounded him.”
