Cohen went on to say that the switchover had been in the works for some time. "We had long planned this transition, but I certainly didn't expect it to happen during a quarantine, of course," Cohen explained. "So we had to really handle this hand-off from one home to the next very carefully, but we did and she is now with Anderson and I know she's gonna get Wyatt on a great sleep schedule just like she got Ben."
Cohen also expressed his excitement for his friend becoming a father. "I'm so happy for Anderson," he said. "We've been talking about this for a long time and I have been really enjoying Anderson coming over. His visits with Ben have taken on a special significance since we both knew for a while that Anderson was planning on [becoming a dad] himself."
