Alex Cooper, known for her podcast "Call Her Daddy," has announced she is expecting her first child with husband Matt Kaplan. The revelation follows days of Cooper reportedly evading paparazzi and comes amidst public commentary on her professional life, including a noted feud with fellow influencer Alix Earle.
Cooper revealed the pregnancy on Instagram, later sharing a photo of her "growing bump" and expressing relief at no longer needing to conceal it. She stated her focus is now on her expanding family, despite ongoing "drama." Kaplan, her husband, has faced allegations of hostile workplace behavior, though a representative for the couple asserts there is "no tension in the marriage" as they anticipate parenthood.
Apparent Camera Avoidance Precedes Announcement
Days before her public confirmation, Cooper was observed seemingly avoiding photographers. Reports detail her quickly entering a vehicle, opting out of any interaction or opportunity for a "belly glimpse." This behavior occurred prior to her social media announcement.

Whispers and Wardrobe Choices as "Clues"
Speculation mounted regarding pre-announcement "clues" attributed to Cooper. Observers noted her selection of loose-fitting attire, with some suggesting these "loose-fitting ensembles" may have been deliberate attempts to conceal a pregnancy rather than merely a choice for comfort. One reported "possible sign" fans overlooked was Cooper temporarily ceasing to wear her wedding ring.
Ongoing Feud with Alix Earle Remains Unaddressed
The pregnancy announcement also intersects with the unresolved public tension between Cooper and Alix Earle. While Cooper had publicly challenged Earle to "get specific" about their rumored feud, Earle has not yet commented on Cooper's pregnancy news. Cooper had previously deactivated her TikTok account, citing concerns over the "treatment of women." Cooper and Earle’s relationship has been described as a "hot mess."
Private Partnership in Public Eye
Despite Cooper's high-profile media career, she and Matt Kaplan have largely maintained a private personal life. This contrast between their private relationship and Cooper's public persona has been noted as they embark on this new chapter as parents. Cooper is 31 years old, while Kaplan is 42.
