What’s Up, Mommy Gang: Alex Cooper Is Pregnant

Reported by Vogue.

Alex Cooper is pregnant. The Call Her Daddy host and Unwell Network founder announced Sunday via Instagram, posting a carousel of herself in a white crop top with her bump visible, standing next to husband and business partner Matt Kaplan. The caption: "Our family 🤍." Simple, clean, and unmistakably intentional.

Cooper and Kaplan's origin story is peak pandemic romance — a Zoom call in July 2020 that eventually led to an engagement, then a Riviera Maya wedding in April 2024. According to Vogue, Cooper wore a custom Danielle Frankel gown for the ceremony and called it "emotional, heartfelt" and exactly what they'd envisioned. Together they launched the Unwell Network in 2023, a Gen Z media company with Call Her Daddy as its flagship — so yes, they are very much building an empire in multiple senses of the word.

The road here wasn't quiet

What makes this announcement resonate beyond celebrity baby news is what Cooper shared on her own podcast last August. She opened up about being diagnosed with HPV years prior and the fear — one she'd been afraid to say out loud — that it might affect her fertility. "Matt was the first person I had dated that had me realize I even wanted to have kids," she said. She told him everything. He didn't flinch. She underwent treatment and tested negative six months later. Telling that story on a platform with millions of listeners took nerve, and it clearly mattered to people navigating the same silence.

The pregnancy was hiding in plain sight as recently as last week — Cooper, 31, walked YouTube's TV Upfront red carpet alongside Kaplan, 42, in a structured black blazer that gave nothing away. Typical Cooper: strategic, composed, and announcing things entirely on her own terms.

She built a media empire by refusing to treat her personal life as off-limits, and now she's bringing a baby into it — which means the Call Her Daddy cinematic universe is only getting bigger.
