Call Her Daddy Co-creator Alex Cooper and Husband Matt Kaplan Announce Pregnancy
Alex Cooper, co-creator of the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy,” has shared the exciting news that she and her husband, Matt Kaplan, are expecting their first child. The 31-year-old, who has 7.3 million followers on Instagram, made the announcement on Sunday, sharing a series of photos with her husband.
In the posts, Cooper showcased her bare bump while sitting beside her 42-year-old husband, affectionately referred to as “Mr. Sexy Zoom Man.” The couple, who have been together for six years, tied the knot in Riviera Maya, Mexico, in 2024 after becoming engaged the previous year. Their wedding was a celebration of their love and commitment, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
Cooper, known for her candid and open approach to life, wore a white crop-top and matching pants during the photo shoot. She captioned the maternity slideshow with a simple yet heartfelt message: “Our family.” The post received an overwhelming response from fans and celebrities alike, with many expressing their congratulations and well-wishes.
Katie Couric, journalist and television personality, commented: “You hid it well! Congratulations!” LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt added: “Congrats.” Taylor Lautner, actor and Twilight alum, wrote: “You just made my day.” Other notable figures such as Whitney Leavitt, Kesha, Huda Mustafa, Lucy Hale, and Harry Jowsey also expressed their joy and support for the couple.
The couple’s journey to parenthood comes at an exciting time for both of them. Cooper, who founded the wellness brand Unwell, has been focusing on her growing family while managing her various ventures. Meanwhile, Kaplan, CEO of Ace Entertainment, has been involved in producing several high-profile projects, including the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, which aired on Disney+ in March 2024.
A New Chapter in Their Lives
Cooper’s pregnancy announcement comes amid a period of personal and professional growth for the couple. The former soccer star, who once relied on income from dating sugar daddies through SeekingArrangement (now rebranded as Seeking.com), has since built a successful career in media and entertainment. Her podcast, “Call Her Daddy,” has become a cultural phenomenon, offering listeners a unique blend of humor, insight, and candid discussions about relationships and sexuality.
In addition to her work with the podcast, Cooper signed a lucrative $125 million three-year contract with Sirius XM in 2024. This deal marks a significant step forward in her career, reflecting her influence and popularity within the industry. Previously, she earned over $1.5 million during her three-year deal with Barstool Sports in 2018 and a $60 million three-year deal with Spotify in 2021.
Navigating Challenges and Celebrating Success
Despite the excitement surrounding their new family, Cooper has faced challenges in recent months. She has been involved in a public feud with former employee Alix Earle, whose show Hot Mess was dropped by her company The Unwell Network. The conflict escalated when Cooper publicly confronted Earle on TikTok, accusing her of making passive-aggressive comments and reposting videos that compared her to an “ambulance chaser” who profits from others’ trauma.
Earle responded on TODAY, stating: “It’s exaggerated. I love everyone.” She emphasized her desire to keep things positive, saying, “We don’t have that much time here honestly, so it’s like, why ruin such a good day with something not so great?”
Meanwhile, Cooper continues to balance her personal life with her professional commitments. She is currently busy filming her Netflix reality show and recently attended the GucciCore runway presentation in New York City’s Times Square. As she prepares for motherhood, Cooper remains focused on building a future filled with love, success, and meaningful connections.
