Alex Cooper, the host of Call Her Daddy, announced on May 17, 2026, that she and her husband, Matt Kaplan, are expecting their first child. This follows a high-profile public appearance by the couple at the YouTube Brandcast event in New York City earlier that week.
Within the podcasting ecosystem, Call Her Daddy continues to be cited as a blueprint for creator-led vulnerability. During a recent episode, Rachel Bilson credited the show’s early impact on her own professional trajectory, telling Alex Cooper: "I listened to your first Call Her Daddy, and I was like, 'Fuck!'"
The atmosphere surrounding the show remains strictly celebratory, with Alex Cooper maintaining her focus on guest-driven narratives. While welcoming Rachel Bilson to the studio, Alex Cooper simply noted, "Rachel, thank you so much for coming on Call Her Daddy." The industry will now be watching to see how the host balances her massive media footprint with this upcoming personal milestone.
