2012年公開出櫃的美國《有線電視新聞網》（CNN）知名主播庫柏（Anderson Cooper）1日在個人Instagram帳號上公布了3張照片，只見庫柏抱著1名新生兒親餵牛奶，根據照片圖說文字，庫柏在4月27日成為了父親，並以他父親之名將兒子取名為「懷亞特·摩根·庫珀」（Wyatt Morgan Cooper）。

現年52 歲的庫柏從未公開太多個人相關資訊，或許是這波新型冠狀病毒肺炎（COVID-19，舊稱武漢肺炎）疫情肆虐全球之際，讓庫柏對失命有了新的體會與認知，他表示這是生命中的困難時刻，許多艱困日子還在前方，紛擾歲月中把握喜樂時光尤其重要，即使為失去心愛的人而哀悼，但也會迎來新生命和新愛的祝福。

I want to share with you some joyful news. On Monday, I became a father. This is Wyatt Cooper. He is three days old. He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was. My son's middle name is Morgan. It's a family name on my mom's side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 52 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. Wyatt Morgan Cooper. My son. He was 7.2 lbs at birth, and he is sweet, and soft, and healthy and I am beyond happy. As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I’m grateful for all those who have paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son's birth. Most of all, I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing - what she, and all surrogates give to families who cant have children. My surrogate has a beautiful family of her own, a wonderfully supportive husband, and kids, and I am incredibly thankful for all the support they have given Wyatt and me. My family is blessed to have this family in our lives I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter, were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.

據悉，庫柏的父親在他10歲時便已亡故，這也促使他以父親之名來紀念。

摩根生下時約7磅重，庫柏也向代理孕母、醫生表達感謝之意，「我想像我爸媽將為此相擁微笑，看顧我們，也為他們的愛得以延續感到快樂。（I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.）」
