The oldest of the two boys, Wyatt Morgan Maisani-Cooper, is constantly lighting up Anderson Cooper's Instagram feed with his sweet smile and baby-blue eyes. When Wyatt made Cooper a father at age 52, he shared this special moment with his followers in a post: "As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child . . . I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing — what she, and all surrogates give to families who can't have children." Wyatt was truly a miraculous gift for Cooper.
In the post, Cooper also explains how Wyatt got his name, "He is named after my father, who died when I was ten . . . My son's middle name is Morgan. It's a family name on my mom's side." Cooper got confirmation that his parents would like his son's middle name via a baby name list they made when his mom was pregnant with him.
According to People, Wyatt took his first step at 13 months, but Cooper missed it because he was abroad for work. Thankfully, the broadcaster's ex Benjamin Maisani was there, who officially adopted Wyatt in 2022, as their second child, Sebastian joined the family.
