"This is our birthday tradition," the "Love Connection" host continued teasing viewers before confessing it was false news. Getting honest about the adorable pair's birthday celebration, the father of two explained they had dinner earlier that evening.
Giving himself a little pat on the back, "The Real Housewives" executive producer stated he paid for the duo's "really nice" meal. After receiving a thank you from Cooper, Cohen continued sharing their dinner tale.
"He wouldn't let me get a chocolate cake with a candle in it….and I said yeah, let's be a fun blocker," the entertainer lamented before noting that sometime during their meal, he told the CNN star, "I'm not your b*tch, don't hang your sh*t on me."
Although the dynamic duo could not remember the context that required such a harsh response, there was no bad blood between them as they were all smiles in the video. The clip ended with Cohen wishing Cooper a happy birthday and cheering for another successful trip around the sun.

The discussion centered sexy waters when the host asked if the 55-year-old's interest in marriage had any place for the political commentator. Without hesitating, the "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" voice actor explained that the pals could only achieve that level of intimacy with a third party.
"We could have some good threesomes, me and Anderson," the entertainer quipped, earning loud cheers from the audience, who loved the idea. However, the St. Louis native continued: "Because that is what it would take because we are truly just friends. We are."
