Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper Had a Stunning Wedding
Call her wife! Alex Cooper, the host and co-creator of Call Her Daddy, got the Vogue Weddings treatment. Earlier this month, Cooper married producer Matt Kaplan, her co-CEO at Trending Media Company. The couple got hitched in a small ceremony in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
If you aren’t a member of Daddy Gang, you might be wondering how someone ends up marrying their co-CEO. Well, it’s because their relationship started through business, then became romantic, and eventually circled back to business. As Cooper explains to Vogue, the couple first met on a Zoom call in the summer of 2020. She was taking meetings about a possible TV show, and he owned a production company. “I got on Zoom and immediately started thinking, Wow, this producer is very handsome—but, stay focused Alex,” she said. “There were about five other people on the Zoom from his company, but I kept just staring at Matt’s video square.”
The show didn’t work out, but Cooper and Kaplan struck up a relationship. “We went on a few dinner dates in L.A. and sat in parking lots, pandemic-style, and there was no doubt in my mind after the first dinner that he would be the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with,” Cooper said. Fast forward to 2024 and the couple was spending their wedding weekend on a Mexican beach.
Cooper’s dress was custom Danielle Frankel, made out of wool silk with a square neck and a Basque waist. “The dress truly turned out to be my dream,” she told Vogue. “I felt so classic and chic in it. I felt confident and sexy while still elegant and timeless.”
Throughout the wedding weekend, Cooper also wore Donna Karan, Alexander McQueen, and Versace, all vintage. The groom, if you’re interested, wore a custom suit from the Cloakroom. There was no intel on where the couple’s goldendoodle ring bearers got their bowties.
Cooper is best known for her celebrity interviews, but based on the photos, her wedding was for civilians only. “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,” she told the magazine. Sweet! It would have been funny if Jojo Siwa were there, but I respect their decision.
