Key takeaways:
- Alex Cooper announced she is pregnant with her first child with husband Matt Kaplan.
- Cooper and Kaplan married in April 2024 and co-founded the Unwell Network.
- Cooper and TikTok star Alix Earle have been involved in ongoing social media tension this year.
Alex Cooper, the host of the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast, announced on Sunday that she is expecting her first child with her husband, producer Matt Kaplan. Cooper shared the news on Instagram with a photo showing her seated on the armrest of a chair, smiling and resting a hand on her baby bump while looking at Kaplan, who sat beside her. She captioned the post simply, “Our family,” followed by a white heart emoji. The couple married in April 2024 and co-founded the Unwell Network, a subsidiary of the media company Trending.
Cooper, 31, has built a significant following with her podcast, which boasts over 2.1 million subscribers on YouTube and has attracted more than 7.2 million Instagram followers. “Call Her Daddy” is known for its candid conversations on relationships, celebrity gossip, and pop culture, often featuring high-profile guests such as former Vice President Kamala Harris, who appeared during her 2024 presidential campaign to discuss women’s issues.
In addition to the pregnancy announcement, Cooper’s recent public life has been marked by tension with TikTok star Alix Earle. Earle, who gained fame in 2023 for her videos at the University of Miami, previously hosted the “Hot Mess” podcast with the Unwell Network before leaving the show and severing ties with the network last year. The two influencers have engaged in a series of social media exchanges this year that suggest ongoing conflict.
The tension escalated in April when both appeared to share veiled messages about each other online. Cooper addressed the situation directly in a TikTok post, urging Earle to be explicit by saying, “You’re going to need to get specific,” and “Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself.” Earle responded in the comments but has not posted a direct video reply, instead sharing a clip of friends reacting to Cooper’s callout.
Cooper did not disclose a due date or additional details about her pregnancy. She also shared a more candid selfie with Kaplan on her Instagram story and joked about being “honestly happy” to “finally stop trying to hide the bump.”
