CNN’s most standout anchor Anderson Cooper has recently enlarged the Cooper family by getting a son through the help of a surrogate, thus joining the other trailblazing LGBTQ+I celebrities who chose to have children themselves.
And now, in an interview done with a photo shoot at People magazine, the 53-year-old confessed that he was considering the option of having another Cooper child, providing baby Wyatt Cooper with a sibling. The acclaimed journalist said: ‘I need to probably sleep a little bit more and clear my head, but I think it would be great, one day, to have a brother or sister for Wyatt. I haven’t ruled anything out down the road.’
