Andy began by discussing the recent birth of his daughter Lucy, recounting what it was like bring her home from the hospital.

“The minute my daughter came home from the hospital and we were home that first night and I was like, ‘wow. This, two feels really like a family,’” he said. “And I was like, ‘Wow, this feels so good. Like, this is my family. This is what I was meant to be.’ And so I love, I’m just I’m so looking forward to what’s to come, but it’s, it’s really hard.”

The Bravo host, who’s also a dad to 3-year-old son Benjamin, opened up about what his dating life was like now that he has two kids.

“Dating is another story because you know, I haven’t, there are two kinds of people, people that you wanna date and people that you…” Andy trailed off as host Rahsaan Rogers chimed in, “People that you wanna bang.”

“Thank you. Thank you, Rahsaan,” Andy joked, adding: “Okay. So the answer is the dating thing that, you know, I have had some dates. But it’s gotten in my mind more kind of emotionally chaotic because in my mind, you know, there was, there was a guy that I had been dating and I said to him, at one point ‘You, there’s kind of a third thing in the room here as we’re dating.’ And he said, ‘I know,’ he said, ‘Well, what do you think that is?’ I said, ‘It’s that I have a family.’”

He continued, “And he said, ‘Oh no, I view that third thing is that you’re famous.’ And I’m like wow. I don’t even think about that. I’m like, we’ve been out 15 times. How has being famous affected any of the times we’ve been out? Like, it’s been fine. So I thought that was interesting, but that’s taking up noise in my head, the dating thing, because I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m not only dating someone, but I’m dating someone obviously there’s gonna be a point where I’m like, I want you to meet my kids.’”

When asked how he determined when it was a good time for someone to meet his kids, Andy said, “You know what, actually, this is someone who had met my son. We were, I was on a vacation with my son. And so, and I had met this guy when I was on vacation. And so he actually had met him, but the answer, is it just, I just vibed it out when the time felt right.”
