Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper have been nearly inseparable pals for years, but fans shouldnt expect their friendship to evolve into a romance anytime soon.

In a Tuesday appearance on The Howard Stern Show , Cohen was asked about what kept him from falling in love with Cooper, given that both men are single, eligible and share a natural rapport.

Were not in that place, the Bravo host said of Cooper. Its not what our relationship is based on. Were just friends. Thats not a part of it.

Though Cohen acknowledged that the CNN journalist was a handsome guy, he suggested that the pairs platonic connection was just too established for them to consider further intimacy.

At this point, we know each other too well, he said. Were not attracted to each other that way.

In a 2017 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Cooper explained that he and Cohen were, in fact, set up on a blind date by friends at some point in the 1990s. One introductory phone chat, however, was all it took to convince him that love was not in the cards for the two men.
