\u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast host Alex Cooper might want to reconsider the title of her show. <\/p>\n
Cooper, founder of podcast group the Unwell Network, announced she is going to be a mommy. The 31-year-old podcaster and her husband, film producer Matt Kaplan, 42, are expecting their first child together, she revealed in a Sunday Instagram post.<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cOur family \ud83e\udd0d,\u201d Cooper wrote in her caption. She shared two photos of herself in a white outfit cradling her baby bump as Kaplan holds her leg and smiles at her. The expectant parents married in April 2024<\/a>, a year after Kaplan \u2014 whose producing credits include Netflix\u2019s \u201cTo All the Boys\u201d film series \u2014 popped the question. <\/p>\n Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian, Whitney Leavitt, Lucy Hale, Kesha, the two Taylor Lautners<\/a>, Bethenny Frankel and reality star-turned-Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt <\/a>were among the celebrities sending their well wishes for the growing family in the comments. <\/p>\n Cooper debuted \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d under Barstool Sports in 2018 and parted ways with the media company in 2021 for a Spotify deal reportedly worth $60 million. With Spotify, Cooper expanded her podcast\u2019s reach and reputation, becoming a go-to platform for stars including Jane Fonda, Kamala Harris, Miley Cyrus, Offsetand Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a>, who have been among high-profile \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d guests. In August 2024, Cooper struck a deal with SiriusXM <\/a>reportedly worth $125 million. <\/p>\n Amid her rise to fame, Cooper struck up her connection with Kaplan in 2020 on a business Zoom call and began dating shortly after, according to W magazine. <\/a>Prior to <\/span>their engagement, Cooper and Kaplan knew they wanted to have a family of their own, but the former was unsure about marriage. Cooper told W that that her \u201creally great dynamic\u201d and communication with Kaplan helped change her views on tying the knot. <\/p>\n \u201cHaving that foundation of honesty and trust allowed us to get through things in life that made it so I couldn\u2019t envision anyone else by my side. On top of that, we have this insane chemistry,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s also so supportive of my career. A lot of men in my past were really intimidated by my success. They tried to suppress what I was doing or make me feel bad about it.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cMatt has always been my biggest supporter. It\u2019s very attractive to have a man not be intimidated by a woman\u2019s extreme success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
