The 31-year-old media personality shared the news on Instagram on May 17 through a series of maternity photographs featuring the couple together. Captioned simply “Our family,” the post showed Cooper cradling her baby bump while posing alongside Kaplan during an intimate outdoor photoshoot.
The announcement marks a significant personal milestone for Cooper, whose rise from podcast host to one of the most commercially influential figures in digital media has been accompanied by a relatively private approach to her romantic life.
For years, Cooper referred to Kaplan anonymously on her podcast, famously introducing him to listeners as “Mr. Sexy Zoom Man” after the pair met virtually during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The identity of the film producer remained undisclosed until the couple’s relationship became public following their engagement in 2023.
Kaplan, known for producing projects including the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film series, later married Cooper in 2024 during a beachside ceremony in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The wedding attracted widespread attention online, particularly among Cooper’s fanbase and podcast audience.
The pregnancy announcement also arrives after Cooper publicly discussed several personal health concerns and anxieties surrounding fertility on episodes of Call Her Daddy. In previous conversations on the podcast, she spoke candidly about contracting HPV years before meeting Kaplan and the emotional impact it had on her understanding of future motherhood and reproductive health.
Since launching in 2018, the podcast has become a major force in digital media, attracting celebrity guests, political figures and millions of listeners globally.
Following the pregnancy announcement, social media platforms were quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from fans, influencers and celebrities, many celebrating the couple’s next chapter together.
Neither Cooper nor Kaplan has publicly shared further details about the pregnancy.
