“Actually, we still live in the same house because we get along so well,” said the CNN anchor during a TV interview.
“It works,” Cooped continued. “It was interesting because he wasn’t sure he wanted to have a child, and that was one of the reasons why we probably broke up. But then he got the idea, and now he’s a great father. ‘

Cooper said earlier that he wants to raise his son Wyatt with Maisani because he wants his son to have two parents. They are photographed together in New York in 2015
Maisani was caught ‘crying’ during his son’s vaccination consultation, which Cooper said ‘it was great to see’.
When asked if there was a chance the couple would be a couple again, Cooper said, ‘No. This will not happen.’
He told Howard Stern last year that he is his ex’s father or mother because it is ‘good to have two parents’.
“It was interesting because he wasn’t sure he wanted to have a child, and that was one of the reasons why we probably broke up,” said Cooper of Maisani. ‘But then he had the idea, and now he’s a great father’
When it comes to a second child, Cooper said ‘there’s nothing going on’ yet.
‘I do not know. Yes I’d love to. I think it would be great for him to have a brother. I’m not sure I could handle another one, but he’s really such an easy boy, ‘he said.
‘He’s still sleeping, like, 12 and a half hours every night, he eats his peas and his porridge cauliflower. He’s such a happy little boy. It is a great joy. ‘
The journalist was thrilled with Wyatt, revealing: ‘He’s still sleeping, like, 12 and a half hours every night, he eats his peas and his porridge cauliflower. He’s such a happy little boy. It’s a great joy ‘
