“Call Her Daddy”host Alex Cooper is officially a mom. She and husband Matt Kaplan welcomed their first child, a son, and shared the news Tuesday with an Instagram photo and a blue heart. It was the kind of announcement that said everything without saying anything at all.
If you’ve been following her show, you know how much she’s wanted this. Back in May, she announced the pregnancy with a slideshow captioned“Our family”and later told listeners she’d never felt more ready to become a mother. She also shared the story of breaking the news to Kaplan: she handed him a positive pregnancy test as a“gift”that was“non-refundable,”and they both ended up in tears. The couple’s timeline is a rom-com in itself. They met on a Zoom call in 2020, got engaged in 2023, and married in Mexico in April 2024. Along the way they addressed split rumors on their own podcast, so this new chapter feels like the emotional payoff.
The arrival caps a big year for Cooper, who balances a chart-topping podcast with the Unwell Network she and Kaplan built together. Fans have been along for every step, from the engagement to the pregnancy reveal, and now to a blue heart on the timeline. What’s the first song you’d play for a brand-new baby?
