Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper secretly marries longtime boyfriend Matt Kaplan in lavish beach ceremony
CALL Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper has married her fiance Matt Kaplan.
The couple, who got engaged in March 2023, tied the knot in Riviera Maya, Mexico, earlier this month.
Alex, 29, originally met the 40-year-old film producer during a Zoom call back in 2020.
She teased the news in her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, telling followers, “Daddy Gang, I’ve been keeping a secret from you.”
“It’s the hardest secret I’ve ever had to keep. But today, it’s yours,” she added.
Alex then shared a photo of the wedding cakes on her feed, announcing the two had gotten married on April 6.
WEDDING DETAILS
Speaking about her special day, the Call Her Daddy host told Vogue that the ceremony was “everything we wanted it to be.”
“It was emotional, heartfelt, and we tailored it to exactly how we always envisioned it,” she explained.
Matt said the two wanted it to feel relaxed and authentic, adding that the day felt “very naturally curated.”
“We wanted to choose a destination that was private, romantic, and felt like a vacation for not only us but all of our guests,” Alex said.
“It was really important to us to keep the guest list small so we could be present with each other and the people who we love the most and who have helped us become who we are today.”
Alex’s brother Grant officiated the wedding, while their dogs, Bruce and Henry, served as the ring bearers – running down the aisle with the couple’s rings around their necks.
After Alex and Matt exchanged personal vows, the group headed to cocktail hour and later down to the beach in an open-air tent for dinner.
At the reception, Alex said the “vibes were immaculate” as everybody hit the dance floor.
“There were dance-offs, bottles being passed around, crowd surfing…and once again, I’m not a dancer, but there wasn’t a care in the world from anyone that night. Everyone was on cloud nine,” she told the outlet.
The podcaster said the night ended with almost every guest running into the ocean.
For the special day, the 29-year-old wore a custom Danielle Frankel wedding dress that “turned out to be her dream.”
“I felt so classic and chic in it. I felt confident and sexy while still elegant and timeless,” Alex elaborated.
ALEX’S ENGAGEMENT
Alex opened up about her proposal during an episode of Call Her Daddy last year, labeling it as “the best moment of her life.”
Matt, notoriously known as “Mr. Sexy Zoom Man,” popped the question to the podcaster on March 3.
Alex initially kept the news quiet for nearly a month, sharing it only with her close family and friends.
She recalled the details of the special day, saying Matt was unable to fulfill his daily act of bringing her a cup of coffee because he supposedly had an early meeting.
She then headed to a photoshoot for her interview with W Magazine, which turned out to be fake.
When she returned home, she opened the door to find candles all over her house and a laptop next to a sign that read, “Play Me.”
Her about-to-be fiance popped up on screen in the same outfit he wore during their initial Zoom meeting three years prior.
Alex was then sent on a scavenger hunt around the house, which eventually led her to a closet where a blue sweatpant and sweatshirt set was laid out for her.
She walked outside to more candles and white rose petals lined up along the ground, leading her to Matt and their two golden doodles.
“You’re my person. You’re my best friend. You’re my soulmate,” Alex recalled Matt saying.
“You’re the best sex I’ve ever had and you mean everything to me in this world. Please marry me. I love you,” he added.
The podcaster shared the exciting news on Instagram, where she joked that she was “officially unwell… and engaged.”
