Alex Cooper announces pregnancy with husband Matt Kaplan
Call them mom and dad — Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan are expecting their first baby together.
The Call Her Daddy podcast host, 31, shared pictures Sunday showing off her pregnancy bump with Kaplan, 42, as she simply wrote, “Our family.”
Cooper and Kaplan tied the knot in Mexico in April 2024 after they met on a Zoom call during the Covid-19 pandemic in July 2020.
The pregnancy announcement comes weeks after unfounded reports by the Daily Mail that Cooper and Kaplan were having marital problems.
However, they walked the red carpet together at last week’s 2026 YouTube Upfront.
Both Cooper and Kaplan, a film producer, have been facing career drama in recent months.
Last month, a bombshell report accused Kaplan of berating and threatening workers at his and Cooper’s production company, Unwell Network.
Unwell Network has reportedly faced employee turnover due to a toxic work environment fostered by Kaplan, who works as the company’s the co-chief executive officer.
Cooper and Kaplan co-founded their company Trending Media in 2023, which is the parent company for the Unwell Network. Unwell includes Cooper’s lifestyle podcasts and Kaplan’s own production company, ACE Entertainment.
Kaplan is said to be running the day-to-day operations of the business while Cooper focuses on her extremely popular podcast.
Company insiders told Bloomberg that Kaplan has allegedly “earned a reputation for frequently yelling at staff members” and threatening to blacklist them from other jobs, the outlet reported.
Some employees have reportedly threatened to quit the network while working on film sets and live tours due to his behavior.
Meanwhile, Cooper has raised speculation about the working environment of her own podcast due to her apparent feud with Alix Earle.
The conflict went public last month when Cooper shared a video after Coachella weekend where she called out Earle, 25, by name.
“You guys know I don’t usually address this kind of stuff because it feels like a waste of time,” Cooper said in the video. “And honestly, it’s embarrassing to participate in this. But I am obviously seeing the videos and I’m getting tagged. I see the DMs, I see the comments. So, at this point, it just feels long overdue.”
She then paused and said, ““Alix Earle, hey girl. The passive-aggressive reposts and the ‘likes’ and the commenting on things, I gotta call you out here — you’re gonna need to get specific. Just say what you gotta say about me. There’s no NDA and no one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What’s the beef?”
Earle responded with a quick comment on the video: “Okay on it!!”
Cooper’s video came days after Earle had reposted a TikTok video accusing Cooper of exploiting her podcast guests for tell-all interviews.
Earle and Cooper were previously on good terms. Earle was one of the first podcasts to launch under Unwell Network in September 2023.
