Why Andy Cohen Finds Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga “Refreshing”

“Maybe it’s just my reputation that I get things out of people,” he told E! of why he’s often bending an ear. “Maybe they feel a certain ease of, ‘Well if everyone else is telling him everything, maybe I should.’ I’m not questioning it, I’m just listening.”

In between sips, he also plans to kick back this summer with his kids Benjamin, 4, and Lucy, 13 months.

“I just spent several years building a dream house on the beach and it’s finally done, so I’m going to be spending a lot of time with my family out there,” he noted. “That’s my big plan. I’m staying local, staying in my new house and just want to experience the summer with them.”
