Three years later they got engaged, and the pair went on to tie the knot in Riviera Maya, Mexico, on April 6, 2024. 

The podcast host has been open about her thoughts on becoming a mother, and in a vulnerable episode last year, she got candid about pushing back her timeline. 

In the June 2025 podcast, titled I’m Not Ready for a Baby Cooper said she and Kaplan had decided the summer prior to start trying for a baby.

She explained they had spoken about names, home renovations to prepare for kids and were really excited. 

But when she went off birth control, Cooper said she started to experience “extreme vertigo and dizziness,” so they decided to “put a pause on getting pregnant.” 

She also realised that she didn’t want to “slow down” during such a busy time in her career by having a baby.

For Cooper, she decided she needed “time to live a little more before I enter the next, beautiful chapter of my life” by having kids, and she wanted to make sure she’s “present” and “capable” when she becomes a mum. 

Kapal was supportive of her feelings, and she said, “I know he’s going to be the most incredible father to our babies”.

Call Her Daddy is one of the biggest podcasts in the world, and in 2025, it was ranked as Spotify’s fourth-most popular podcast of the year. 

Cooper has interviewed plenty of A-list guests like Kim Kardashian, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Hailey Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry, to name a few.
