For this week’s issue of PEOPLE, Cohen and his cover costar Benjamin posed for an exclusive photo shoot, and the new dad sat down for an interview with PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly Editorial Director Jess Cagle about all things fatherhood — including his plans for introducing his son and canine.

“Wacha has not met Benjamin yet,” he explained to Cagle of his rescue dog and newborn baby boy. “I want to get Benjamin acclimated to the space and get us acclimated to everything.”

“And then that dog is going to bound in here in a few days. He’ll be back,” Cohen continued. “There’s gonna be a bris [a Jewish circumcision ceremony], and then the dog will appear.”

Wacha was an important companion for Cohen as the Bravo personality, 50, awaited the arrival of his first child, who was born Feb. 4 via surrogate.

And though a source told PEOPLE in December that Cohen felt “relieved” his news was finally out there with six weeks to go, waiting for his baby on the way wasn’t an easy task.
