“On Monday, I became a father. I never actually said that before out loud and it still kind of astonishes me. I’m a dad. I have a son and I want you to meet him,” Cooper announced. “He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was. My son’s middle name is Morgan. It’s a family name on my mom’s side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 52 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. Wyatt Morgan Cooper. My son.”

Your heart belongs to someone else now, @andersoncooper, and his name is Wyatt Morgan. I’m thinking of what my daughter said after her first child was born: “I love him so much that it hurts.” So many of us are grateful for your good news. https://t.co/8bwoaWeh5W
