Alex Cooper Welcomes First Baby

Alex Cooper, best known as the host of the podcast “Call Her Daddy,” has welcomed her first child with her husband, Matt Kaplan. The news was announced via Instagram on Tuesday, with Cooper sharing a heartfelt post featuring her newborn son. However, the couple has chosen not to reveal his name or birth date at this time.

Social Media Announcement

On her Instagram, Cooper, 32, shared a picture of her son dressed in a fuzzy blue outfit. The caption was a simple blue heart emoji. This post comes after she had previously announced her pregnancy on Instagram in May, alongside Kaplan, who is 42 and a Hollywood producer. The due date for the baby had not been made public.

Reflections on Pregnancy

Later in the week, Cooper followed up with a slideshow of pregnancy photos. She described the last nine months as "the most transformative of my life" in the post’s caption, opening up publicly about her journey to motherhood.

Gestational Diabetes Diagnosis

Earlier in July, Cooper posted on Instagram about her diagnosis with gestational diabetes, a condition she explained is caused when hormones from the placenta lead to insulin resistance, making it harder for the pancreas to produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar. Cooper stated that she initially felt isolated and hard on herself after the diagnosis, but emphasized her desire to ensure her baby's health.

The American Diabetes Association reports that up to 9% of pregnancies can be affected by gestational diabetes.

Life and Career Highlights

In addition to her role as a podcast host, Cooper is the founder of the Unwell Network, a subsidiary of the media company Trending. She and Kaplan married in April 2024 and are co-founders of Unwell. Cooper’s transparent updates about her health and pregnancy have resonated with many followers.

Reactions and Further Details

Fans and followers expressed joy at Cooper’s announcement and speculated about the baby’s name. One Instagram user jokingly suggested he be called “baby.” For now, the couple continues to keep personal details about their newborn private.

Cooper’s openness regarding her pregnancy, including her gestational diabetes diagnosis, has brought further attention to health challenges faced during pregnancy. The family’s announcement marks a new chapter for the “Call Her Daddy” host and her husband, Matt Kaplan.
