On Monday’s episode ofWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the CNN broadcaster, 56, was put in the hot seat during a segment of “Dwheel Breakers,” a game where guests are asked intimate questions about their dating deal breakers.

Cooper claimed he would break things off with someone who asked for a “personal sex tape.” When Cohen asked how he would react to a potential suitor asking to “bring a third into the bedroom,” the journalist answered with a resounding “no,” though the Housewives aficionado wasn’t so convinced.
