Speaking of his son, Cooper said he is “so happy and giggly” these days.

Cooper shared, “I suddenly think like, ‘Oh my God, there’s going to be a time when he won’t let me kiss his face all over or hold his hand even.’ I just want to rub his tummy right now as much as I can, because I know at a certain point he’ll be like, ‘Just get away from me.’ "
