Alex Cooper is preparing for a new role: motherhood.

The "Call Her Daddy" podcast host revealed Sunday that she and her husband, film producer Matt Kaplan, are expecting their first baby together.

"Our family 🤍," Cooper wrote on Instagram alongside photos featuring her growing baby bump.

The pictures showed Cooper dressed in a white two-piece outfit while posing with Kaplan. In one image, Kaplan sat facing away from the camera as Cooper leaned beside him with one hand on her stomach.

She later shared another update on Instagram Stories, joking that she was relieved to "finally stop trying to hide the bump."

Cooper and Kaplan married in Mexico in April 2024.

In a prior interview with Vogue, Kaplan said the couple intentionally planned a celebration that felt intimate and true to their personalities.

"We weren’t looking to have a formal wedding," he told Vogue at the time. "We wanted it to feel relaxed and authentic to us and the location, so from the decor to the festivities, it all was very naturally curated."

Cooper and Kaplan first connected during a Zoom call in 2020. Early in their relationship, Cooper kept Kaplan's identity private and famously referred to him on her podcast as "Mr. Sexy Zoom Man."

Kaplan, known for producing the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" movies, has also been a strong supporter of Cooper's career, according to the podcast host.

"Matt has always been my biggest supporter," Cooper previously told W magazine. "It's very attractive to have a man not be intimidated by a woman's extreme success."

Cooper did not disclose her due date.

The media personality hosts one of the country's most popular podcasts, with "Call Her Daddy" drawing millions of followers across YouTube and social media platforms.
