Andy Cohen asks Kelly Ripa how much she pays her nanny after Jeff Lewis calls her “cheap”
Jeff Lewis explained how Cohen responded to his comments during Tuesday’s episode of Not Skinny But Not Fat. Lewis said Cohen was “defensive” after hearing that his babysitter’s rates seemed too low. Lewis recalled, “He was like texting Kelly Ripa, like ‘What do you pay your babysitter?’ She said Cohen also contacted other famous friends to compare their child care rates.
The debate started during an old episode of Radio Andy. Cohen told Lewis that he had paid his 23-year-old babysitter $70 for two hours and 15 minutes of work. Lewis immediately called this amount “cheap”, especially because of Cohen’s money. “Did he cover the cab too?” Lewis joked before saying she would have been paid $100 for the same job with two kids.
according to EW!Lewis also shared her own babysitter rates during the discussion. He said he pays his nanny $37 an hour to care for his 9-year-old daughter. Lewis later explained his reasons for being upset about Cohen’s payment. “I have an idea of how much money Andy makes, right?” He said. “I think $30 an hour is the lowest price, especially for two kids.”
Cohen’s reaction became a bigger part of the story when he began seeking reassurance from friends. Lewis said Cohen messaged at least three people about their babysitter rates while discussing the issue. He specifically singled out Ripa, whose children are now adults. This exchange shows how much the criticism captured Cohen’s attention.
