Did Matt Rogers and Andy Cohen have a conflict? 

The rumours about a possible conflict between Matt Rogers and Andy Cohen surfaced after the former made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in December 2025. During the show, viewers felt that there was an awkward energy between him and the show's host, Andy Cohen, and Matt. Some netizens even went ahead to speculate about the past behind-the-scenes fallout or relationship between the two. But Matt has now shut down those theories. On the latest episode of Las Culturistas, which he co-hosts with Bowen Yang, Matt confronted the buzz and said:

"There is no drama or tension between Andy Cohen and me."

Furthermore, Matt added that their flirtatious interaction was simply part of the show's humor. He even denied ever having a romantic relationship with Andy and explained that their equation is based on friendship and conflict rather than any romantic conflict. He added that Andy is now technically his boss due to their professional bond linked to a book deal via Andy Cohen Books. At the same time, the 39-year-old mentioned that the perceived pressure or seriousness during their exchange was due to the fact that he and his co-host still had a book deadline to meet with Andy. Subsequently, they were simply having a good time.
