CNN anchor Anderson Cooper announced live on air Thursday that he and his parenting partner have welcomed their second child, a boy.

Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper weighed 6.8 pounds at birth and was born via surrogate. Cooper and Benjamin Maisani also have a 21-month-old son, Wyatt.

β€œHe is healthy and happy and even his occasional hiccups are to me adorable,” Cooper told viewers. β€œHe mostly just sleeps and eats, and he certainly poops, but he already seems like a wise and thoughtful little chap.”

Sebastian, like Wyatt, will be raised by both Cooper and Maisani.

β€œWe are co-parents. Wyatt calls me Daddy, and Benjamin is Papa,” Cooper has said.
