Anderson Cooper‘s son’s birthday was celebrated by the TV anchor’s BFF. See how Kelly Ripa, mother of three, marked the milestone. Kelly Ripa and Anderson Cooper have been friends since the latter filled in for her co-host Regis on the “Live! with Regis and Kelly” show.
The pair who loved working together wowed fans with their chemistry on air. Off-screen, Ripa crushed on her colleague, but him being gay and her being married never made this a dream come true. However, the happily married Ripa, who shares three kids with her long-term husband, Mark Consuelos, channeled this crush into an intense friendship.
Funnily enough, the table has turned with their little ones. “The Anderson Cooper 360” host claimed that his first son, Wyatt, 2, is in love with Lola, 20— and so the crush train continues. Since welcoming his sons, Wyatt and Sebastian, both families have been nearly inseparable, so it was not a surprise to see Ripa celebrate Anderson Cooper’s son’s birthday in style.

Anderson Cooper’s Son’s Birthday Wish From Kelly Ripa
Anderson Cooper’s son’s birthday message from Ripa was in French. The ABC star wrote “Joyeux anniversaire Sebastian,” before adding a throwback snap. The image showed the onscreen personality cradling the little man whose eyes were shut. Despite having welcomed three babies, Ripa could not get her hands off Sebastian.
She warmly caressed his cheeks, and in return, a sleeping Sebastian broke his face into a warm smile. Via her caption, Ripa added that it was a fast year, before tagging Cooper and Benjamin Maisani.
Cooper and Maisani are former partners. Though their romance has ended, they co-parent their sons, Wyatt and Sebastian. This is not the first time that Ripa will be marking a birthday for her BFF’s child. Last April, the media personality celebrated Wyatt as he turned 2.
She uploaded snaps that chronicled her time with Wyatt, before smearing it with a heart-melting birthday wish.
