Today’s Morning Man: Anderson Cooper!

The Silver Fox and father of two turns 55 today!

So let’s make a bit of a fuss over Anderson Cooper who seems to have been achieving more work-life balance in recent years as he juggles fatherhood with his jobs at CNN and CBS News.

He certainly knows how to keep a gig as he has been host of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 since 2003 and a correspondent for 60 Minutes since 2007. Anderson has won 18 Emmy Awards and two Peabody Awards, as well as an Edward Murrow Award from the Overseas Press Club in 2011.

He came out as gay in 2012 and became the father of Wyatt Morgan Cooper in 2020 and Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper earlier this year. He is raising the children with former long-term partner Benjamin Maisani.
