CRAIGSLIST CONFESSIONS: Broadway Star Sydney James Harcourt Spills On His “Mad Passionate Lust Affair” With Andy Cohen!
Media Take Out has the absolute steam-room update of the week! It turns out the king of Bravo, Andy Cohen, has a past that’s just as juicy as a Real Housewives reunion. Broadway star Sydney James Harcourt is opening up about the time he and Andy were more than just friends—they were a full-on Craigslist connection!
Appearing on the April 28, 2026 episode of the Dads and Daddies podcast, the 50-year-old actor gave us the raw and uncut details of their year-and-a-half-long tryst from back in the day.

“It Was A Craigslist Thing”
Before Andy was the face of late-night TV, he was apparently scrolling through the “Personals” section. Sydney revealed that they met on Craigslist back when Andy was still working behind the scenes at Bravo.
The First Date: “He came to my apartment the first time… the vibe was fun,” Sydney recalled.
The Romance: It wasn’t just a one-night stand. The pair saw each other on and off for at least 18 months.
The Review: Sydney didn’t hold back on the praise, saying: “I just knew that he was hot and man, the sëx was really, really great.”
Andy Confirms: “A Mad Lust Affair”
Andy actually beat Sydney to the punch back in 2024. After Sydney appeared as a guest bartender on Watch What Happens Live (the one where he was shirtless in a vest—we remember, honey!), Andy spilled the tea on his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy.
“I met him many years ago and we had a mad passionate love affair — lust affair,” Andy admitted. “I met him on Craigslist… Now, he, all these years later, winds up bartending on WWHL.”

The “Biblical” Twist
In a move that could only happen in Andy’s world, his ex-boyfriend and co-host John Hill revealed that he also hooked up with Sydney James Harcourt in the past. Andy’s response? A classic: “I do too, girl.” Talk about a small world!
Andy Addresses The “Bravo Rules”
While Andy was open about his Craigslist past, he’s drawing a hard line in the present. During a bombshell appearance on Call Her Daddy on October 29, 2025, host Alex Cooper asked if he’s ever slept with a Bravo star.
The Answer: A hard “No. Never.”
The Reasoning: Andy explained that he understands “the rules of the game” and that mixing business with pleasure at this stage in his career would be “unwise.”
Is Andy Cohen the “Craigslist King” we never knew we needed, or is Sydney James Harcourt just looking for a little more time in the Bravo spotlight? Let us know in the comments!
