Cohen, 51, revealed on March 20 that he tested positive for COVID-19 after days of \"not feeling great.\" As a result, he self-isolated, while his 13-month-old spent time with his baby-nurse, whom Cohen described as \"super-human.\"

Although the TV host's doctors told him that he could see Benjamin on Sunday, he decided to wait an extra day just to be safe.

\"I freaked out on Saturday night, worried,\" he said on yesterday's radio show. \"So I was like, 'You know what? Let me just add a day to that.'\"

Monday was a big day for Cohen, who, in addition to seeing his son for the first time in nearly two weeks, also returned to \"Watch What Happens Live.\" Because of the global pandemic, however, he will shoot the series from his New York City apartment. Tonight's guests, according to a press release from Bravo, are Stassi Schroeder, Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, and tomorrow's is Cohen's close friend, musician John Mayer.
