Andy Cohen is ready to be done with diapers. 

The 57-year-old father of two opened up about his 3-year-old daughter Lucy’s potty training journey during the Friday, June 13 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, which he co-hosted. 

“Lucy’s on an underwear journey,” Cohen, who is also dad to 6-year-old son Benjamin, shared. 

Host Jenna Bush Hager asked, “So she’s sort of graduated from the diaper?”

Cohen said that while he celebrated his daughter’s “diaper graduation,” in an Instagram video on May 28, it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing since that time. 

“I was always told that girls were smarter and they picked things up quicker,” Cohen quipped. “She’s at the same glacial pace that her brother was at.”

But Cohen also sympathized with his daughter, sharing, “Listen, I have a small bladder, now that we’re oversharing. I live in a doorman building. There’s a bathroom behind where the doormen work. It’s my favorite spot in New York City. It’s my safe zone when I can’t make it up in the elevator.”

He jokingly added that his doormen “know what’s up.” 

The Bravo host noted that Lucy asked for underwear for her third birthday in April, sharing a video in May of her receiving some from the diaper brand Coterie to celebrate her diaper graduation. 

Opening up the package, Lucy asked her dad, “Do you love it?” to which he replied, “I do love it. Do you love it?” prompting her to say, “Yes.” 

The single father is preparing for this Sunday’s Father’s Day, which, unfortunately, won’t be much of a celebration for him.

“I’m gonna be tortured all weekend. Isn’t Father’s Day supposed to be when you rest and are celebrated?” Cohen asked on Today. “I’m flying to St. Louis to take the kids to see my family, and then I think I will be spending much of Father’s Day in airports and on the plane.”

But Cohen shared his own plan for Father’s Day, saying, “I just had a great idea. I’m gonna book a massage on Sunday night.”   

Back in December 2024, Cohen opened up to PEOPLE about his two kids and their battle for his attention. 

"Ben is love bombing me so much, and Lucy also is so — any quality time that she and I get alone without Ben, she's so excited about," Cohen said.

"I took her to the doctor today and she talked about it like I was taking her to, you know, see the Rockettes. She's like, 'Daddy and I — just Daddy and I — are going to the doctor, just Daddy and I.' So she's very much daddy's little girl."
