Cohen shared that his feelings took a turn for the worse during an experience at the park with fellow parents.
“The sprinklers went off, and I didn’t know to have a change of clothes,” he explained. “I looked around, and I’m the only single parent there. I’m the only gay dad. I just felt like I was on an island, and I went back to my house, and I cried.”
The Bravo star explained that the situation “opened up a vulnerability.”
“It was just a trigger,” he continued.
During aconversation with PEOPLE in November, he echoed similar emotions about parenthood, in which he expressed that becoming a father of two meant his priorities are now different.
