Andy Cohen is setting the record straight after viewers speculated he’d gone under the knife. Speaking on his SiriusXM show, the 57-year-old Bravo star broke down exactly what changed his appearance.
What Really Happened on New Year’s Eve

Cohen told listeners he was “so flattered” by the chatter and happily listed the minimal work behind his glow-up:
- A “teeniest bit of Botox”
- Four minor veneers on his front teeth
- A heavier-than-usual coat of bronzer applied by Anderson Cooper’s makeup artist
He recalled the artist asking, “Are you OK?” before piling on extra tanner, prompting Cohen to quip that some viewers thought he looked like “a beaten-down lady.”
The Weight-Loss Chapter
Beyond the quick cosmetic fixes, Cohen revealed he shed “a good chunk of weight” in 2025 by:
| Method | Details |
|---|---|
| GLP-1 | Micro-dosed under a doctor’s care for artery plaque, blood pressure, and weight |
| Diet | Cut “excess snacking” |
| Exercise | Followed a “pretty rigorous” workout plan |
Andy Cohen explained he had been “really unhappy” with his weight, so he and his physician agreed on the prescription, which is sold under brands like Ozempic and Mounjaro.
Key Takeaways
- Cohen confirms no plastic surgery, only minor cosmetic tweaks
- GLP-1 use was medically supervised for multiple health markers, not just weight
- The TV host says his “fitness has never been better” after lifestyle changes
By openly detailing the small procedures and medical assistance behind his transformation, Cohen adds another high-profile voice to the growing conversation about transparency in celebrity self-care.
