Once upon a podcast feed, Alex Cooper turned taboo into talk points and confession into cultural canon. With Call Her Daddy
, she redefined podcasting for an entire generation, skyrocketing from bedroom broadcaster to Spotify royalty. Known for her raw candor and celebrity interviews that bordered on therapy, Cooper built an empire by being unfiltered and unapologetic. Now, she turns the lens on herself in the new docuseries Call Her Alex,
inviting fans deeper into her personal life, and straight toward the man she married.
Naturally, the world has grown increasingly curious about her elusive husband, the Hollywood producer Matt Kaplan.
Who is Alex Cooper’s daddy?
Matt Kaplan is not just a Hollywood producer with a résumé full of teen angst and heartthrobs, he is the mind behind Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
and XO, Kitty,
and currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Ace Entertainment. Known for turning adolescent pining into cinematic gold, Kaplan has built a mini empire out of emotionally fraught promposals and well-timed rain kisses. Now, he finds himself cast in his own rom-com, as the leading man in Alex Cooper’s real-life love story.

The plot twist? Their meet-cute happened on a Zoom call, the same soul-crushing screen most people use for awkward meetings and frozen faces. During a virtual business chat, Cooper was so charmed by Kaplan’s energy that she nicknamed him “Mr. Sexy Zoom Man.”
One dinner date later, sparks flew. By April 6, 2024, they were exchanging vows in Riviera Maya, Mexico, proving even corporate video calls can lead to destination weddings.

With Call Her Alex

Though protective of her relationship with film producer Matt Kaplan, Alex Cooper found herself surprisingly emotional while revisiting footage from their April 2024 wedding. At the Tribeca Festival premiere, she shared that most of the ceremony was intentionally kept out of Call Her Alex
to preserve its intimacy. Still, the carefully edited reveal felt strikingly deliberate, a bold move echoing the kind of calculated risks Meghan Markle once spoke about on her own podcast, where intention and image walk a finely managed line.
