Anderson Cooper Girlfriend

For someone who is as visible in the public eye as Anderson Cooper,it truly is amazing that we hardly know a thing about his private life.Sure there is speculation about his sexual orientation and a quick search reveals a stunning 212,000 pages in google alone dedicated to finding any and all evidence of the elusive "Anderson Cooper girlfriend".

I know so many girls,this author included who would literally give their left lung to be seen on Mr.Cooper's arm as his girlfriend but ladies,that isn't going to happen.Like I previously mentioned,Anderson Cooper is an extremely private fella and if he had a girlfriend,I'm more than positive he wouldn't be flaunting her on the cover of People magazine.

But there are some girls Anderson doesn't mind hanging out with like:

• Kelly Ripa - the chemistry between Anderson Cooper and Kelly Ripa is undeniable and so natural.They complement each other and have tons of fun whenever he fills in for Regis on the "Live With Regis and Kelly" show.I personally nominate Anderson as Regis' replacement should he ever quit.The ratings would skyrocket.I'm actually surprised Anderson and Kelly don't already have a show together.It is important to note though that Kelly Ripa is very happily married with three kids.
• Erica Hill who cohosts AC360 with Anderson Cooper is another of Anderson's girlfriends.Usually co-anchors have to "fake" the chemistry with each other for the sake of television but not these two.They have so much fun together and their lively interaction and back and forth banter is well worth that one hour you spend glued to your telly watching AC360.Erica Hill is also happily married and as of this writing,she's expecting her second child and no,Anderson Cooper is not the father (hey,we didn't need Maury Povich to tell us that!)
• Kathy Griffin - talk about an odd couple but hey,Anderson and Kathy make for good TV together and CNN realised this which is why the two were paired together to co-host a New Years Eve special on CNN.Anderson Cooper has got a wicked sense of humor so he definitely can hold his own when he's up against Kathy Griffin.I don't think they hang out off screen and I know he is definitely not dating her but they do have amazing chemistry onscreen.
