Podcast host Alex Cooper, 31, announced she is pregnant with her first child with husband Matt Kaplan, 42, sharing the news on Instagram with a photo captioned “Our family.” The announcement lands as Cooper remains entangled in a broader public feud with TikTo
Alex Cooper’s first pregnancy announcement arrived with a personal. carefully framed photo and a caption that could have been just two words long.. On Sunday. the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host. 31. posted a picture on her Instagram showing herself seated on the armrest of a chair. turned toward her husband. Matt Kaplan. 42. who sat beside her.
Cooper smiled with one hand resting on her baby bump. and she captioned the post. “Our family. ” followed by a white heart emoji.. Kaplan, a Hollywood producer, married Cooper in April 2024.. Together, the couple also co-founded the Unwell Network, described as a subsidiary of the media company Trending.
The announcement comes at a moment when Cooper’s public life has been busy with more than baby plans.. Recent tension between Cooper and TikTok star Alix Earle has played out publicly. with Earle rising to prominence in 2023 through videos filmed while attending the University of Miami.. Before the conflict intensified. Earle hosted the “Hot Mess” podcast with the Unwell Network. then left the show and cut ties with the network last year.
After the split, Cooper and Earle returned to a more visible kind of clash this year, traded in social media posts that suggested lingering tension. Interest peaked in April when both influencers appeared to exchange veiled messages about each other online.
Cooper addressed the situation first with a TikTok post. including lines that read. “You’re going to need to get specific. ” and “Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself.” The post referenced reposts and comments Earle had shared without explicitly naming Cooper.. Earle responded in the comments but has not posted a direct video reply. instead sharing only a clip of her friends reacting to Cooper’s callout.
The overlap between major personal news and a public feud has been sharp: Cooper announced a first child with Kaplan. then shortly sits within an environment where her earlier posts to Earle included direct language about being specific and not “hiding behind other people.” Those same months also included veiled exchanges that peaked in April. and even now Earle’s response remains comment-level rather than a fresh video.
For Cooper and Kaplan. the pregnancy is their first child together. with Kaplan’s marriage to her dating to April 2024 and their work through the Unwell Network described as part of Trending’s media footprint.. For Earle. the story’s sharpest thread continues to sit in the gap between a comment response and a direct video reply. even as the attention now shifts back to Cooper’s private milestone.
