Andy Cohen and his kids are making some new flightless friends!
On Friday, Nov. 29, the Watch What Happens Live host, 56, posted a series of post-Thanksgiving Instagram Stories while he and his two kids — son Ben, 5, and daughter Lucy, 2 — visited the St. Louis Zoo and hung out with a few penguins.
Cohen initially shared just two photos: One of himself and his daughter as she smiled on his lap while coming face-to-face with a penguin, and another of the aquatic birds waddling around and looking into his phone camera, while standing next to his mother Evelyn Cohen.
“We had the GREATEST TIME,” he wrote atop one of the images, before calling the experience “fully immersive” alongside another.

In a follow-up video, taken from the front seat of his car as his kids provided commentary from the back, Cohen and his little ones went further in detail on the arctic encounter.
“I loved when the penguins pooped,” one of Cohen’s kids could be heard saying as Cohen recorded himself in the car’s front seat, responding with “You loved when the penguins pooped?”
After the little one confirmed “Uh yes,” Cohen asked follow-ups questions, including “What was funny about seeing the penguins poop?” and “Weren’t you surprised that the penguins’ poop was white?”

Beyond the zoo trip, Cohen also shared a snap from his Thanksgiving spent with family in Clayton, Missouri the day before. “The Cohens randomly showed up to Thanksgiving all in stripes,” he captioned the photo.
Cohen has also kept fans looped on his other family celebrations, including Halloween, when he shared a sweet snap of his son Ben and daughter Lucy on his Instagram as the family of three celebrated the spooky holiday together.
Walking hand-in-hand across an intersection, Ben could be seen wearing a firetruck costume and a Dalmatian hat and posing next to his dad, who opted for a baseball-inspired costume. On the other side of Cohen, Lucy wore a fairy unicorn costume, complete with a pink and purple tutu and white wings.
In another photo, both kids could be seen trick-or-treating as they went around their N.Y.C. neighborhood. “🎃 Halloween 2024 🎃,” Cohen captioned the post.
As a guest on David Duchovny’s podcast Fail Better in September, Cohen revealed that while he didn’t used to feel self-doubt frequently, becoming a father to his two kids has given him “a whole world of worry.”
“I told you earlier that I wasn’t someone that had a lot of self-doubt,” he told Duchovny, “But, I mean, this will do it to you — being a parent. You start to question everything, especially as a single parent.”
Cohen continued to list the questions that “keep him up at night,” sharing, “Everything from what kind of world am I bringing my child into, you know, what’s gonna happen to us? What happens if something happens to me? Are they gonna be okay?”
“I mean, there’s a whole world of worry that I never had,” he added.
