Alex Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan, are expecting their first baby.
“Daddy Gang, there is something I’ve been waiting to share with you ….” Cooper, 31, wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, May 17.
Cooper went on to share a series of photos of her cradling her baby bump while looping at Kaplan, 42. She captioned the Instagram post, “Our family 🤍.”
The “Call Her Daddy” podcast host also shared a selfie of her sitting on Kaplan’s lap outside with mountains visible in the distance. His face was covered by her phone.
“Honestly happy I can finally stop trying to hide the bump lol,” Cooper wrote in a separate Instagram Story, alongside a photo of a bag of candy.
The news comes amid reports that the couple were experiencing tension in their marriage after the Unwell Network made headlines following allegations of Kaplan’s behavior. (Neither Cooper nor Kaplan have addressed the drama. Us Weekly reached out to representatives for Cooper, Kaplan and the Unwell Network at the time.)
However, sources close to the pair tell Us that the rumors are false. The insiders add that Cooper and Kaplan are so excited for this new chapter and have tried to hold out as long as they could before announcing.
Days prior to the announcement, Cooper and Kaplan attended the YouTube Brandcast event at Lincoln Center in New York City. During the Wednesday, May 13, event, YouTube revealed that they officially expanded their partnership with Cooper and her Unwell Network and announced four new shows.
Kaplan popped the question to Cooper in 2023. While recalling the engagement, Cooper told W Magazine at the time that her “entire house was covered in candles, lit all over, music playing, and a scavenger hunt leading to Matt proposing.”
“There was a computer and the screen said ‘play me.’ I played the video, and it was Matt wearing the same exact outfit that he wore on our first Zoom meeting together,” she continued. “He talked about our relationship and his love for me, and then he asked me to open the card sitting there and to follow the scavenger hunt around the house.”
Cooper and Kaplan tied the knot in April 2024 in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The couple opted to keep their vows private from each other until their wedding.
“For our families and closest friends to hear us verbalize our feelings toward one another in the most intimate setting felt electric,” Cooper told Vogue at the time. “As you will see in almost every photo, there were no dry eyes in sight. We will never forget that moment.”
