New dad-to-be Andy Cohen revealed in a resurfaced 2011 interview with People magazine that he probably would have gotten married years ago had same-sex marriage been legal.

It was in June 2011 that the New York state senate voted to legalize same-sex marriage. “I’m thrilled,” he said at the time. “It was an issue I always supported but I didn’t realize how important it was to me and how strongly I felt about it until it was passed.”

“It actually made me a little mad after it was passed. I found myself very upset about why it took so long,” he continued. “It made me wonder who I would be and where I would be if it had been legal 21 years ago when I graduated from college. I think I probably would have been married earlier. Because I think that if all you have to aspire to is moving in together in a relationship, it doesn’t make you question your relationship.”

This week, Andy revealed on Watch What Happens Live! that in six weeks he will be welcoming a baby via surrogate. We love you, Andy! 

Thank you for all the love and support! I’m overwhelmed and touched.
