On the December 13, 2022 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Cohen dedicated his “Mazel of the Day” to Chastain, 39, and her surprise pregnancy. At the end of the show, Chastain rang the doorbell at Cohen’s Bravo Clubhouse and surprised fans. In a clip from the episode, Chastain appeared wearing a form-fitting red dress that showed off her growing bump.
“We get to see the baby bump in person,” Cohen gushed. “This is the baby bump!”
Cohen also joked about the identity of Chastain’s baby daddy.
“Should we announce that I’m the father now?” the openly gay Bravo host cracked. “And that it happened at BravoCon? It was a sloppy night after the Legends Ball.”
After Chastain revealed that her due date is May 8, 2023, Cohen told her, “You’re gonna be a great mom.”
“I think being a chief stew really trained me for this,” Chastain agreed.
The “Below Deck” alum also joked that the first “skill” she will teach her child is “dishes.”
On social media, fans reacted to Chastain’s baby ump cameo. Many wanted to know who the father of her child is, while some speculated that Chastain was wearing an engagement ring. “Who’s the daddy? I saw a ring on your finger! Spill!” one fan wrote on Instagram.
Others hope to see a “Below Deck” baby shower. “Congratulations, Kate. Andy, you need to have a shower for her, like the housewives did for you,” another fan added.

I just bought a condo upstairs from Ben.”
