In January, Cohen appeared as a guest host on an episode ofLive with Kelly and Markand shared that his son Benhad recently gotten into some hijinks at home.

“I woke up, I think it was Monday morning — it’s been a long week already. And he had found his little kid scissors which we had hidden from him,” Cohen told co-hostKelly Ripa, 54. “I said, ‘Oh great, cut away, here’s some paper.’ I go in my room, he goes in his room. He says, ‘How do you like my new hairstyle?' "

“Now, I thought he put gel in his hair, this is how dumb I am,” he continued. “He did a crazy haircut. All of a sudden I see a pile of hair in the corner.”

Instead of having an explosive reaction, Cohen said that he maintained his cool and “did not shame him for this.”

“But he has now gotten a buzz cut … And everyone is going so crazy and he’s getting so much attention that now I’m worried he’s going to do it again,” he said.

Although Ben has had some creative moments lately, Cohen said he’s also been extra cuddly. Speaking with PEOPLE atSiriusXM’s 10th Annual Radio Andy Holiday Hangoutin December, Cohen opened up about afew sweet moments he’s shared recentlywith his kids.

“Ben is love bombing me so much, and Lucy also is so — any quality time that she and I get alone without Ben, she’s so excited about,” Cohen said.

“I took her to the doctor today and she talked about it like I was taking her to, you know, see the Rockettes. She’s like, ‘Daddy and I — just Daddy and I — are going to the doctor, just Daddy and I.’ So she’s very much daddy’s little girl.”
