Congratulations are in order for Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan, who are expecting their first child together. The Call Her Daddy podcaster and Unwell Network media mogul announced her pregnancy in an Instagram post on Sunday, May 17.
“Our family 🤍,” Cooper captioned the photo carousel. It featured two images of herself in a white crop top and loose pants that exposed her growing bump, smiling beside her husband and business partner, Kaplan, a film executive and producer.
The couple first met on a Zoom call in July 2020, becoming engaged in 2023—the same year they would launch the Unwell Network together. They married in a Riviera Maya, Mexico-set ceremony in April 2024.
“It was everything we wanted it to be,” Cooper told Vogue of her nuptials. “It was emotional, heartfelt, and we tailored it to exactly how we always envisioned it.” She wore a custom Danielle Frankel gown on the day.
On an August 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy, Cooper voiced some fears around her fertility and relationship, having been diagnosed with HPV several years prior. “At this point, Matt and I were starting to get serious and we were dating… It just sucked, because I could really envision a future with a man,” she said. “I think I was scared to vocalize one of my biggest fears, which was the possibility that this mistake I made years ago was going to impact my fertility. Matt was the first person I had dated that had me realize I even wanted to have kids.”
She continued: “I knew I was going to have to be honest about it…I told him everything. And he couldn’t have been more loving and understanding and supportive.” Cooper underwent treatment for her HPV and successfully tested negative six months later.
