On April 30, Cooper announced that he'd become a father three days prior, with the help of a surrogate. He told fans that he named his son Wyatt Morgan after his parents: Wyatt after his dad, who died when Cooper was 10 years old, and Morgan after his mom, since it was a name she loved.

Cooper added that before his mother's death last year, he had the opportunity to discuss his fatherhood plans with her.

\"I was able to tell her shortly before she died that I was going to have a baby,\" he said during an appearance on \"Live with Kelly and Ryan.\" \"Wyatt hadn't been created at that point -- he wasn't actually a being at that point -- but he was an idea in my head, and I was in the process of it, and she was thrilled.\"
