Alex Cooper Welcomes First Baby With Husband Matt Kaplan

 

Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper has officially entered her mom era. According to People, the 32-year-old podcast star has welcomed her first baby with her husband, Hollywood producer Matt Kaplan, with the news breaking on October 20 and sending her massive fanbase into celebration.

Page Six was among the outlets confirming the arrival, with E! News and USA Today also reporting the happy news. Cooper, whose podcast has become one of the most listened-to shows in the world, had kept details of her pregnancy largely private, making the birth announcement a genuine surprise for many of her followers who had been watching for clues.

Cooper married Kaplan, a film producer known for his work on young-adult franchises, in April 2024 in a ceremony that was itself kept largely under wraps. The couple's relationship has mostly unfolded away from the spotlight, a deliberate choice for a host who spends her working hours discussing other people's love lives in candid detail. Fans have watched Cooper evolve from dating-advice firebrand to married woman, and now to mother, with each chapter documented in her unmistakable voice.

The birth caps a landmark period for Cooper, whose media empire continues to expand across podcasting, live tours and brand partnerships. Her interview series has drawn some of the biggest names in entertainment and politics, cementing her status as one of the most influential voices in modern media. Motherhood adds an entirely new dimension to a public persona built on frank talk about relationships.

As she settles into life with a newborn, listeners are already speculating about how motherhood will shape the next chapter of Call Her Daddy. For now, though, the new parents are said to be savoring quiet family time away from the microphones, with Cooper expected to share her own characteristically honest take on new parenthood when she returns.
