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."

Cooper admitted he never thought he would be a parent growing up as a gay kid, so he thanked everyone who helped him make it possible.

Cooper co-parents Wyatt with his ex-boyfriend, Benjamin Maisani. They still live together at his home. However, he made it clear that there are no chances for them to get back together but praised Maisani for being a great co-parent.

"We actually still live in the same house because we get along really well," he said. "It's weird, but it works out."
