Anderson Cooper is one of the most popular television personalities. With all eyes on him, viewers are curious about Cooper’s personal life.

The 49-year-old broadcast journalist's partner is 43-year-old Benjamin Maisani. The couple met in 2009.

1. Maisani originally came to New York city to study filmmaking. His first job out of college was working at the Morgan Library at Madison Avenue. Wanting better pay, he ended up taking a job at Barracuda, a gay bar in Chelsea.

2. Maisani is still involved in the bar industry. He owning three popular New York City bars. First is Easternbloc, a gay bar. His second is another gay bar called Bedlam Bar & Lounge. In 2013, he opened up his third gay bar, Atlas Social Club.

3. Maisani is not really interested in being a celebrity. Anderson Cooper also rarely talks about his personal life. He did not come out of the closet until 2012.

4. Maisani and Cooper live together in a renovated firehouse in Greenwich Village. The couple purchased it in 2009 for approximately $4.3 million. The two own several other homes, including a mansion in Connecticut estimated to cost between $5 to $9 million. That home is 10,000 square feet and consists of 18 rooms. Cooper also has a waterfront in the Hamptons that cost him $1.7 million.

5. They’re Open to Having Kids One Day

Maisani and Cooper do not currently have children, but Cooper said earlier this year that he’s open to it. His mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, is a big proponent of that idea. “She constantly has asked me about having kids,” he said. “I would certainly love to have kids. I work a lot, so I would have to kind of change my work schedule.”

But they are so evil, they will deprive a human baby of his mother and a Natural family——for their selfish, evil “lifestyle” to “pretend” to be “married”. It is a Lie. BTW, that boy “friend” is having tons of sex with the males in his bar.......not just Andy. Just like the two (ten) at Elton John’s house where Elton is destroying the children whom he was allowed to adopt which literally denied the baby his Natural Rights and made them into warped slaves.

Our Constitution should never allow anyone to deny a baby its Natural mother and father on purpose. It should be a crime to sell and buy babies. it is as bad as slavery-—even worse, since you destroy the possibility of the baby to be as God Designed. Really evil.

“I don’t use the term “gay”.”

How about “sodomite?”

Children need access to a father and a mother, not two of one and none of the other. (hey, that rhymes)

That would make an awesome slogan for any and every pro-traditional marriage/adoption/whatever group!!!!! If Dr. Seuss wrote a specifically pro-hetero children's book he would write that line!

They are abasing on another. The anus and rectum are designed to expel stinking fecal waste from the body. The act of one man putting his penis into the anus of another man is disgusting, filthy, perverted and vile, and dangerous. There is nothing good about it. It should be banned, repressed, oppressed, and treated as the sickness that it is. Those who have to treat the many diseases and trauma caused by this behavior could tell you of things that would make your hair stand on edge! We should have compassion on the poor souls who have lost their way, and lead them to the Path of the Just: the Torah and to the King of Israel.

Someone needs to tell them that two men can’t create babies together. What are they going to do, buy one and raise it in three homo bars?

How about “faggie”?

They stole the word `gay’ which once meant happy & carefree and most faggies are anything but.

You can bet there is a lot of rimming and felching going on. Watch for the brown ring around andy’s oral opening. He is one nasty sodomite.

Gloria Vanderbilt was a nut job. She gave birth to an intelligent and fun loving journalist who just can stop taking it up the old_______.

Better response than I’d have made, because I had the same thought.

You are right. It would make a great bumper sticker. Anyone who had one should probably expect to get a lot of verbal abuse and maybe some damage to their car; the liberal cult being known for having such mature reactions to criticism, and all.

My guess is if they ever have kids they’re going to smell like crap.
