"Call Her Daddy" podcast host Alex Cooper, 31, announced Tuesday on Instagram that she has given birth to her first baby with husband Matt Kaplan, Page Six reports.
The picture, captioned with a blue heart, shows the newborn in a fuzzy gray outfit, his face out of frame.
Cooper went public with her pregnancy in May, debuting her bump in an Instagram slideshow captioned "Our family 🤍." The following month, she told her podcast listeners when she first started to "get the itch" to become a mom.
She said it happened "as more and more time went on, [the couple] traveled and [they] accomplished certain goals [they] had set." Cooper recalled telling Kaplan, "The only thing that feels like it's truly missing right now is a child and starting our own family together. And I have never felt more ready."
Her pregnancy reveal to Kaplan came with a punch line. The former Barstool Sports personality handed him a positive pregnancy test and told him she hoped he liked his "gift" because it "was non-refundable."
"He looked so shocked. And then we both started crying," she remembered. "We didn't even say anything in that moment. There were just no words. He pulled me onto his lap. We were hugging and kissing and crying."
The couple had also been battling rumors that their marriage was on the rocks, which Cooper addressed on the same podcast episode. "No one in our life, our closest friends, our family, is wondering those things," she said, calling the speculation "an odd part of the job that [she doesn't] enjoy."
The pair met on a Sexy Zoom in 2020 and started dating after a business dinner. Kaplan proposed in 2023, and the Unwell Network co-founders married in Mexico in April 2024.
In 2025, Cooper explained why she wasn't yet "ready" to have kids. "I really wanted to prioritize our relationship," she said on her podcast. "I wanted to prioritize work and I wanted, honestly, most importantly, to prioritize myself."
