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

Nearly two years after welcoming Wyatt, Anderson announced the birth of his second son, Sebastian Luke.

The baby was born in February 2022 via surrogate. Anderson introduced him publicly through a photo posted on Instagram with the caption, “Cuddling with Sebastian the day after he was born.”

This time, Anderson made a change to the naming. Sebastian was given the hyphenated last name Maisani-Cooper. While Anderson had previously referred to Benjamin as a co-parent, this marked a more formal recognition of their commitment as a parenting team.

They continued living together, managing the responsibilities of raising two young boys in a structure built on consistency and mutual involvement. With Sebastian’s birth, their family expanded, but their parenting approach remained the same.
