CNN anchor Anderson Cooper stepped out with boyfriend Benjamin Maisani
in New York City’s West Village on Sunday
(From Mail Online)-They have dated since 2009 yet rarely are spotted together.
And on Sunday morning, Anderson Cooper and boyfriend Benjamin Maisani stepped out together in New York City’s West Village for a stroll with their dog, Molly.
The couple resides in a converted firehouse in the same downtown neighborhood.
Anderson beamed as he walked beside his boyfriend during a brief break in their busy schedules.
The 45-year-old anchor charmed in a navy suit with a black tie and patent leather dress shoes.
Meanwhile, his svelte boyfriend, 40, revealed an impeccably toned figure in a skintight T-shirt and khaki cut-off shorts teamed with Adidas trainers.
Anderson, who publicly came out last July, said of his decision: ‘It just got to the point where I’ve been torn for a long time between a desire as a reporter to just do my job and be known as a reporter and at the same time I do think visibility is important.
‘I do think that the tide of history only moves forward when everyone is fully visible. I didn’t want to send a message that there was anything I was ashamed about or unhappy about or not comfortable with.
‘That was the main thing for me. I appreciate all the support I got and all the encouragement. I am the same person I always was, I do the job just the same way.’
The CNN fixture continues to host popular talk show Anderson Cooper 360, while Benjamin co-owns several East Village bars.
