Andy Cohen is setting the record straight after viewers speculated he’d gone under the knife before co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper. On the Jan. 5 episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, the 57-year-old said the chatter actually flattered him.
What Really Changed
Cohen insists the only tweaks were minimal:
- A “teeniest bit of Botox”
- Four minor veneers on his front teeth
- A makeup experiment that left him overly bronzed
He recalled Anderson Cooper’s makeup artist asking if he was okay, prompting Cohen to request “some more tanner.” The result? Online comments comparing him to a “beaten-down lady.”
Health-Driven Weight Loss
Beyond the cosmetic tweaks, Cohen revealed he lost “a good chunk of weight” in 2025 through a three-pronged approach:
| Method | Details |
|---|---|
| GLP-1 micro-dose | Doctor-recommended for weight, artery plaque, and blood pressure |
| Diet | Cut “excess snacking” |
| Fitness | “Pretty rigorous” workout routine |
Cohen, father to Ben, 6, and Lucy, 3, told listeners he had been “really unhappy” with his weight before his physician repeatedly suggested the medication. “This is a medication that actually is beneficial to a lot of elements of health,” he said, adding, “My fitness has never been better.”
Key Takeaways
- Cohen’s refreshed look is not surgery-just strategic tweaks and healthier living
- His weight-loss journey included prescription medication, diet, and exercise
- The host embraces the speculation with humor while clarifying the facts
By openly sharing the real story behind his transformation, Cohen keeps the conversation transparent-and reminds fans that sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest splash on camera.
