The Call Her Daddy host gave fans another glimpse of her pregnancy in a stylish new photo carousel, stepping out in New York City and embracing what looks like a very colorful chapter of life.
August 21, 2026: Alex Cooper is making maternity style look completely like her.
The Call Her Daddy host shared a new Instagram carousel from New York City, proudly showing off her growing baby bump in a silky blue outfit. Cooper paired the look with dark sunglasses, a small handbag, and an oversized shirt worn open over her bump, giving the photos an effortless, off-duty feel.
Her caption was short, playful, and perfectly timed for where she is in life.
“Lotssss of pink & blue these days 🙂 #googlepartner”
The post, shared in collaboration with Google Pixel, included several photos of Cooper around New York City. But for her followers, the baby bump was impossible to miss.
Cooper, 31, announced in May that she is expecting her first child with her husband, producer Matt Kaplan. At the time, she shared photos from her pregnancy reveal and wrote simply, “Our family 🤍.” She later joked on Instagram Stories that she was happy to finally stop trying to hide her growing bump.
Since then, the podcast host has become increasingly open about sharing moments from her pregnancy with the Daddy Gang.
And this latest post feels like another little snapshot from a very different season of life for one of podcasting’s biggest personalities.

From “Call Her Daddy” to a Whole New Chapter
Alex Cooper has spent years building one of the most recognizable brands in podcasting.
Call Her Daddy began in 2018 and eventually became a massive cultural force, with Cooper turning the show into a platform for conversations about relationships, sex, pop culture, celebrity and the complicated parts of modern life. Her career grew far beyond the podcast itself, leading to major business deals and the launch of her media company, Unwell.
But motherhood is about to give Cooper a title her millions of followers haven’t seen before.
Mom.
Cooper and Kaplan are expecting their first child together. The couple met in 2020, got engaged in 2023 and married in April 2024 in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Kaplan is a film and television producer whose credits include the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before franchise.
When Cooper first announced her pregnancy in May, she did it in a way that felt surprisingly simple for someone whose career has been built around saying exactly what other people are sometimes afraid to say.
There was no elaborate statement.
No lengthy explanation.
Just photos of Cooper with Kaplan, her baby bump, and two words: “Our family.”
That announcement also came after Cooper had kept the pregnancy private during its earlier stages. She later shared a more candid thought with fans, writing that she was relieved she could finally stop trying to hide the bump.
The new carousel shows just how much that has changed.
There is no hiding now.
The bump is front and center.
And so is Cooper’s excitement.

“Lotssss of Pink & Blue These Days”
Cooper’s caption is especially sweet because she doesn’t explain too much.
“Lotssss of pink & blue these days :)”
Fans could immediately connect those colors to the stage of life she is currently celebrating. The post itself does not announce the baby’s sex, name, or due date, and Cooper has not publicly confirmed those details in this carousel.
What she does give followers is a look at the reality of her life right now.
There are the pregnancy photos.
The bump.
The New York City backdrop.
And a caption that makes it sound as though her world is currently surrounded by all the colors that come with preparing for a baby.
The fact that Cooper has continued working throughout her pregnancy also makes the Google Pixel collaboration feel like part of the larger picture. Her career hasn’t stopped while she prepares to become a mother. The new post blends a professional partnership with a very personal moment, which is something Cooper has become increasingly comfortable doing with her audience.
She has also spoken recently about how pregnancy has changed her perspective.
In a recent interview, Cooper discussed being surprised by how many realities of pregnancy and preparing for a baby aren’t openly discussed. She also spoke about wanting to support other expecting mothers and used her platform in connection with Babylist to help members of her community with their baby registries.
That feels particularly fitting for Cooper.
Her career has always depended on creating the kind of conversation where people feel they can be honest.
For years, that honesty centered on dating, relationships, sex, and navigating adulthood.
Now, her audience is watching her enter motherhood.
And she appears to be bringing the Daddy Gang along for parts of that experience too.

Alex Cooper’s Pregnancy Style Has Become Part of the Moment
There is also the fashion.
Because Alex Cooper clearly isn’t approaching maternity dressing as though she has to disappear into oversized basics for nine months.
Her latest New York City look is sleek and simple. The blue satin skirt sits comfortably beneath her bump while the matching open shirt creates a relaxed silhouette. The dark sunglasses add some classic Alex Cooper attitude to the entire outfit.
She has been having fun with pregnancy fashion since revealing the news.
In June, Cooper shared another series of bump photos while talking about her cravings, asking followers to share their own after revealing her love for donuts and In-N-Out during pregnancy.
That post was more casual.
This latest carousel feels more polished.
Together, they show the different sides of the same experience.
One day, pregnancy means sitting around thinking about food.
Next, you’re walking through New York City in a satin skirt and stopping for photos.
That is probably part of why Cooper’s pregnancy posts connect. They don’t appear to be trying to present one perfect version of the experience. Her public posts have included excitement, cravings, humor, and now plenty of stylish bump photos.
And the Daddy Gang has been there to react to all of it.
Her latest Instagram comments included messages from fellow celebrities and creators, with fans praising the photos and celebrating her growing family.

Her Audience Has Watched Alex Cooper Reinvent Herself Before
The reason this chapter feels bigger than just another celebrity pregnancy announcement is because reinvention has been a huge part of Cooper’s career.
She has gone from podcast host to media executive.
From speaking into a microphone about dating stories to interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment and culture.
She turned Call Her Daddy into a business empire and became one of the most influential women in podcasting along the way.
Now comes another shift.
Motherhood.
That doesn’t mean the Alex Cooper her audience already knows is disappearing. If anything, her recent posts suggest she is letting motherhood become another part of the life she has built in public.
The old title may be Call Her Daddy.
But fans are already having plenty of fun with the obvious joke.
This is the Call Her Mommy era.
Cooper herself has leaned into that language too. Her recent pregnancy-related posts and interactions with fans show that she understands exactly how funny the transition is for someone whose entire brand has been built around being “Father Cooper.”
For now, though, Cooper isn’t giving everything away.
Her newest caption keeps it light.
No long explanation.
No dramatic reveal.
Just a few words, a smiley face and a growing bump in the middle of New York City.
“Lotssss of pink & blue these days :)”
For someone who has built an entire career on conversation, it is funny that one of her latest pregnancy updates says so little while still saying plenty.
A new chapter is coming.
And judging by these photos, Alex Cooper is having fun dressing for it.
