Call Her Daddy Host Alex Cooper Is Expecting Her First Baby

Alex Cooper Reveals She’s Expecting Her First Child With Husband Matt Kaplan

Podcast star Alex Cooper announced that she and husband Matt Kaplan are expecting their first child, marking a new, joyous chapter beyond the mic.

When you hear the name Alex Cooper, you probably think of the bold, no‑holds‑back vibe that powers the hit podcast "Call Her Daddy." This week, though, the host let her audience in on a much softer, more personal side of her life.

In a breezy Instagram post that quickly went viral, Cooper shared that she and her husband, film‑producer Matt Kaplan, are expecting their first child together. The caption was simple, almost whisper‑like: “We’re having a baby.” A few emojis followed, and the comment section erupted with congratulations from fans, fellow podcasters, and even some surprise celebrity shout‑outs.

Cooper didn’t stop at the announcement. She gave a few details about the pregnancy journey so far—a first‑trimester ultrasound that left her in tears, cravings for pickles and ice cream, and a growing excitement that she joked would soon eclipse the excitement she feels for a new episode drop. "I’ve been carrying a little secret for weeks now," she wrote, "and I can’t wait to meet the tiny human who’s already got the best dad in the world."

Matt Kaplan, who has been a steady presence behind the scenes of Cooper’s career, chimed in on his own Instagram story, sharing a photo of a tiny pair of baby shoes placed beside a microphone. "Ready for the greatest interview of my life," he captioned, adding a heart emoji that summed up the sentiment of countless followers.

The news arrives at a particularly busy time for the "Call Her Daddy" duo. The podcast, now in its fifth season, continues to dominate charts and generate buzz with its frank conversations about relationships, sexuality, and personal growth. Cooper’s willingness to pull back the curtain on her own life has always been a hallmark of the show, and this announcement feels like the most intimate chapter yet.

Industry insiders note that this pregnancy could also signal a shift in Cooper’s public persona. While she’s never shied away from bold topics, fans are eager to see how motherhood might influence future episodes, perhaps adding new layers of vulnerability and humor.

For now, though, the focus remains on the joyful anticipation. From the tiny kicks she feels during late‑night recordings to the flood of supportive messages from listeners worldwide, Alex Cooper appears to be embracing every moment of this new adventure. As she puts it, "Life is weird, beautiful, and unpredictable – and I’m ready for all of it, mic in hand, baby bump and all."
