Alex Cooper is officially married!

On April 6, the Call Her Daddy podcast host tied the knot with producer Matt Kaplan in an intimate ceremony in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
 

The couple’s nuptials were covered by Vogue Australia, which shared all the juicy wedding details. “We weren’t looking to have a formal wedding,” Kaplan told the magazine. “We wanted it to feel relaxed and authentic to us and the location, so from the decor to the festivities it all was 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,” added the 2024 Paris Olympics podcast host. “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.”

Cooper told her and Kaplan’s love story to Vogue Australia, saying it all began in July 2020 when she was doing “back-to-back meetings” with film and TV producers on Zoom. “I got on my last meeting of the day with Ace Productions, Matt’s company,” she told the publication. “I got on Zoom and immediately started thinking, wow, this producer is very handsome – but, stay focused Alex. There were about five other people on the Zoom from his company, but I kept just staring at Matt’s video square.”

Although the TV show didn’t work out, Cooper had a strong feeling that it wouldn’t be the last time she’d see him. “We went on a few dinner dates in LA 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,” she told Vogue Australia. “I’m extremely picky so this was big for me.”
