Andy Cohen‘s son Benjamin has the sweetest nicknames for his family friends, Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos.
“He calls Kelly & Mark ‘Mee Maw’ and “Pee Paw’…” Andy shared to Instagram on Friday, Sept. 3. “I call them GILFS!”

Cohen shared a sweet photo of Consuelos throwing Benjamin up in the air along with another picture of Kelly holding the child.
“I can’t believe i just looked at Instagram!” she commented. “MeMaw and PeePaw [red heart emoji] Ben!”
Kelly and Mark, who are parents of three adult children, were some of the first people to meet Benjamin as an infant after Andy welcomed the child through surrogacy. Kelly even helped what Cohen called an “incredible” baby nurse.
Andy shared via E!’s Daily Pop in August how he wants to give Benjamin a sibling. “It turns out it takes a long time to make a baby,” he said. “I’m definitely open to it and I would love to see it happen soon.
In March, Ben began saying the most important words any child can say to a parent.
During a past episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 52-year-old father of one gave an update on his 2-year-old son when asked by a guest from his virtual audience what his favorite and least favorite things are that Ben does.
“My favorite thing is he started to say, ‘I love you’ two nights ago,” Cohen revealed. “That just is melting my heart.”
“And he can’t really say it,” the TV host added, before mimicking Ben’s adorable attempts at saying, “I love you.”

The negative side? “My least favorite thing that he does is he is starting to test his limits,” Cohen said of Ben, adding that “he’s starting to throw things at me. And that’s not fun.”
Celebrating his arrival, Andy first posted with his son:“I’m in love. And speechless. And eternally grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I’m a dad. Wow.”

“I was in the delivery room. I had been hoping that he would have a full head of hair, and he really over-delivered,” he joked at the time. “That was the first thing you see, the head of hair coming out. And I was amazed.”
