The journalist and Benjamin are no longer dating, but they are both Wyatt’s parents. Benjamin was even in the delivery room when Wyatt was born.

Wyatt is named after Anderson’s late father, Wyatt Cooper, and his middle name comes from his mother’s mother, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt.

Anderson said at the beginning of his CNN show on February 10, 2022, that he had become a father for the second time to a boy named Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. Benjamin is about to adopt Wyatt, who is Anderson’s son. Wyatt’s last name will then be Maisani-Cooper.

Anderson was born in Manhattan, New York City. He is the younger son of Wyatt Emory Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt.

Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, a millionaire equestrian from the Vanderbilt family, and Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, a socialite, were the journalist’s maternal grandparents. Reginald’s patrilineal great-grandfather was business magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. He started the Vanderbilt shipping and railroad business, which became very wealthy.
