Ce jeudi, le journaliste star de CNN Anderson Cooper a fait une annonce aux téléspectateurs. Très ému, le présentateur a révélé en direct être papa pour la première fois.

Prénommé Wyatt Morgan Cooper, le nouveau-né - qui porte le prénom du père de Anderson, Wyatt - a vu le jour lundi dernier. "En tant que gay, jamais, plus jeune, je n'aurais pensé un jour dire ça", a-t-il confié ému alors que quelques clichés montrant le bébé étaient diffusés à l'antenne.

Plus tard, c'est sur Instagram que Anderson Cooper a posté un long message à destination de ses abonnés. "Je souhaite que ma mère, mon père et mon frère, Carter, soient vivants pour rencontrer Wyatt. J’aime à croire qu’ils peuvent le voir. Je les imagine tous ensemble, les bras l’un autour de l’autre, souriant et riant, heureux de savoir que leur amour est vivant en moi", a-t-il notamment déclaré.

CNN's @AndersonCooper is a dad.

"On Monday I became a father. I've never said that out loud and it astonishes me," he said Thursday at the end of the #CNNTownHall.

"I have a son."

I want to share with you some joyful news. On Monday, I became a father. This is Wyatt Cooper. He is three days old. He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was. My son's middle name is Morgan. It's a family name on my mom's side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 52 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. Wyatt Morgan Cooper. My son. He was 7.2 lbs at birth, and he is sweet, and soft, and healthy and I am beyond happy. As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I’m grateful for all those who have paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son's birth. Most of all, I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing - what she, and all surrogates give to families who cant have children. My surrogate has a beautiful family of her own, a wonderfully supportive husband, and kids, and I am incredibly thankful for all the support they have given Wyatt and me. My family is blessed to have this family in our lives I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter, were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.
