Alex Cooper is a podcast host and journalist who is best known for her podcast called “Call Her Daddy.” The podcast is a comedy and lifestyle show that covers topics related to sex, relationships, and personal experiences.
Cooper co-hosted the podcast with her friend Sofia Franklyn, but after a publicized dispute between the two in 2020, Cooper continued as the sole host of the show.
“Call Her Daddy” has been a huge success, and Cooper has gained a large following and media attention as a result. Prior to hosting the podcast, Cooper worked as a sales representative for a sports media company.
They announced their engagement in April 2023
Cooper went public with her beau in April 2023 when she revealed to W Magazine that she and Kaplan got engaged in March.
While the media influencer never originally planned to get married, she shared that the “foundation of honesty and trust” in their relationship and his support for her career made her reconsider. Less than six months after Cooper gave Kaplan the go-ahead to propose, he got down on one knee in an elaborate way.
Tricking Cooper under the guise of a photo shoot, Kaplan planned the proposal at Cooper’s house in West Hollywood on March 3 while she got ready for the faux shoot at her studio. During the time he kept Cooper out of the house, Kaplan decorated with candles, set up music and organized a scavenger hunt for Cooper that took her through a walk down memory lane around her home.
After the final clue told her to meet him outside, Cooper walked out to her courtyard where she found Kaplan waiting for her with a vintage oval-cut diamond ring and her two dogs dressed in little bowties.
“He got down on one knee and said, ‘You’re my soulmate, the love of my life. You make me a better man. Please do me the honor of marrying me,’ ” she recalled. “I like, blacked out. I think I said yes at first. It was very surreal.”
While Cooper is glad to be engaged, a wedding may not be in the near future as she never had any ideas or plans.
“I really did not grow up ever envisioning a wedding,” the podcast host admitted. “I don’t have a Pinterest board of flowers and dresses. I think we definitely want to get married next year.”
Cooper shared additional engagement details on the April 26 episode of Call Her Daddy.
“It was truly the best moment of my life,” she said. “Matt is so creative and thoughtful. He knew I wanted it to be private.”
Following the proposal, Kaplan surprised Cooper yet again. He had invited all their family and friends to celebrate the couple’s engagement at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles.
“It was truly the most memorable, loving experience that I’ve ever, ever had in my life. And it was perfect and I will remember it for the rest of my life,” the podcast host said.
Cooper later shared that while her best friend was giving a toast, Morgan Freeman, who just happened to be dining there that evening, made a brief appearance as he walked through the restaurant.

he podcast is centered around sex, dating, and relationships, and has gained a large following since its launch in 2018.
Cooper began her career as a broadcast journalism major and worked as a reporter for the television station, NBC Sports.
She later moved to New York City and started working for Barstool Sports, a popular sports and pop culture blog. It was there that she met Sofia Franklyn and together they launched the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
The podcast quickly gained a massive following and became one of the most popular podcasts in the world. However, in 2020, the show became embroiled in controversy when the hosts had a falling out with Barstool Sports over contract negotiations.
Cooper ultimately left the company and continued hosting the show independently.

Cooper has also built a large following on social media, where she shares her personal life and promotes brands and products she uses and loves.
She has over 2.5 million followers on Instagram and is known for her candid and unfiltered approach to social media.
He And Cooper Keep Their Relationship Private
While Kaplan may have worked on big Hollywood films, his work largely lies behind the scenes and as a private person, Kaplan didn’t want that to change.
“Matt is so private, but he also loves the Daddy Gang,” Cooper told W. “Every week he’s like, ‘How’s the episode going? Do they like it?’ ”
Cooper shared that while she is very open on her podcast, she has since found a “healthy balance” between what she reveals on the show and “having enough respect” for her relationship to know what she should keep to herself.
“When I started this show, I was so open about everything, maybe at times to the detriment of my personal life,” Cooper said. “I would have something happen to me the night before, and I would go run into the studio and talk about it. I didn’t even let myself process things.”
Kaplan’s next step in going public? A possible guest appearance on Call Her Daddy. Cooper said that though she wouldn’t plan on a full-length interview, she isn’t closed to the idea of Kaplan making an appearance.
“Never say never, because I never thought I would announce who he was or post a picture of us,” she said. “And now here I am.”
