Prominent podcaster and media entrepreneur Alex Cooper, the creator behind the widely successful Call Her Daddy audio network, has shared a major personal milestone with her global audience. The 31-year-old media personality announced that she and her husband, Hollywood producer Matt Kaplan, 42, are expecting their first child together. Cooper confirmed the news on Sunday evening, May 17, 2026, by sharing a series of intimate maternity photographs across her social media accounts.

A Simple Announcement: “Our Family”

In the viral Instagram carousel, Cooper is pictured showcasing her baby bump while styled in a relaxed white crop top and matching lounge pants. Her husband, Matt Kaplan, is photographed alongside her in a supportive and affectionate pose. Cooper accompanied the photo gallery with a minimalist two-word caption: “Our family.” The announcement immediately triggered an outpouring of celebratory messages from her fanbase and high-profile peers, with many listeners playfully updating her show’s signature title to “Call Her Mommy.”

From a Private Zoom Connection to a Riviera Maya Wedding

The couple’s relationship trace its roots back to a professional Zoom meeting in 2020. Throughout the early stages of their relationship, Cooper chose to keep her partner’s identity completely shielded from the public eye and her massive listener base, affectionately referring to the unrevealed Hollywood executive as “Mr. Sexy Zoom Man” during her podcast broadcasts.

The couple publicly formalized their relationship status following an engagement in 2023. A year later, in 2024, Cooper and Kaplan tied the knot during an intimate, custom-tailored beachside ceremony in Riviera Maya, Mexico, which was later chronicled in Vogue.


Candid Discussions on Health, Fertility, and the Path to Motherhood

True to the open and transparent reporting style that built her digital community, Cooper has previously dedicated podcast segments to discussing her complex emotional and medical journey toward motherhood.

  • Fertility Anxieties: Cooper spoke candidly about her historical health anxieties, revealing that a prior medical diagnosis (HPV) had left her fearful about its potential long-term impacts on her reproductive health. She credited Kaplan’s unwavering emotional support as a critical factor in helping her navigate those anxieties before she ultimately tested negative for the virus following targeted medical treatments.
  • Career Realities: The media executive acknowledged that throughout her 20s and early 30s, she deliberately prioritized her professional ambitions over starting a family, stating she wanted to remain focused on building her business network before taking on the responsibilities of motherhood.
  • Physical Adjustment Challenges: In late 2024, Cooper shared that her initial attempts to conceive were physically taxing, as transitioning off birth control triggered severe underlying health symptoms, including prolonged periods of vertigo and physical exhaustion.

Cooper emphasized that transitioning into her 30s, coupled with extensive personal reflection and a stable marital foundation, ultimately transformed her perspective, leaving her fully prepared and enthusiastic to embrace this next chapter of parenthood.
