Alex Cooper's Relationship History Explained

"Call Her Daddy" podcast host Alex Cooper first met the man she would one day call her husband in 2020. During an August 2020 episode of her hit podcast, Cooper shared that she felt a spark with Matt Kaplan, whom she only called "Mr. Sexy Zoom Man," while attending a virtual business call. That initial spark only grew stronger the moment they laid eyes on each other IRL, during the future couple's first date. In fact, their initial meet-up was so magical that Cooper joked that she would marry him someday. 

During an April 2023 chat with W Magazine, the podcast host revealed that her beau had popped the question in March. She also gushed that Kaplan's creative proposal began with a ruse since he had planned a fake photoshoot to get her out of their home long enough to prepare a romantic scavenger hunt. Cooper recalled what happened at the end of the well-thought-out game: "He got down on one knee and said, 'You're my soulmate, the love of my life. You make me a better man. Please do me the honor of marrying me.'" 

While speaking to Vogue in April 2024, the podcaster confirmed that they had tied the knot in Riviera Maya, Mexico earlier in the month. However, in typical fashion, the couple kept most details of their big day strictly private. During Cooper's interview with W Magazine, she acknowledged that although she never hesitated to share intimate details of her life on "Call Her Daddy," she had gradually learned to strike a balance that enabled her to reserve some aspects of her life with Kaplan for herself.

In April 2017, Alex Cooper made her relationship with Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard official by attending a Knicks game with him, as the New York Post reported at the time. During a 2021 chat with Bustle, Cooper detailed how she actually spent a large part of her senior year in college exploring the world with Syndergaard. And yet, in a February 2021 episode of "Call Her Daddy," Cooper confessed that her relationship with Syndergaard, whom she only called "Slim Shady," wasn't perfect, saying, "We loved walking in a room together. We didn't like how we felt being in a room together."

Their romance appeared to have fizzled by December 2017 since the baseball player took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to post a photo of him changing his relationship status to single, writing, "Baseball is my significant other" alongside it. According to Page Six insiders, though, the celebrity couple's story didn't end there. Onlookers dished that the exes had been cozying up at a party around January 2020. 

Around the same time, a "Call Her Daddy" episode premiered where Cooper announced that she had rekindled an old flame, with someone who had called her a "gold digger," according to her then-co-host Sofia Franklyn. However, it didn't seem like they ended things all that amicably the second time around either because Cooper subtly took a shot at Syndergaard on the podcast in 2023, reasoning, "He can't get a f**** contract. It's not that I look [at the MLB news], people just send me this s***."

Speaking on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, in February 2021, Alex Cooper shared that she once made the bad decision of rekindling a romance with "Slim Shady," whom many believed to be Noah Syndergaard. Their initial relationship didn't end on a good note, leaving both parties without any semblance of closure. So, when they got back together, they decided to keep their romance private to take some of the pressure off. Unfortunately, that didn't do them much good either because "Slim Shady" hadn't changed much since their split, so they fell back into their old ways and ultimately split up again. 

In contrast, Cooper had a much healthier relationship with someone she nicknamed "Door No. 3." During an August 2024 episode of "Call Her Daddy," she disclosed that she'd found her beau on Instagram when she was a senior in college and liked a few of his photos. Cooper also offered a brief description of the mystery man, labeling him a "tall, dark, handsome, tatted guy on the Detroit Tigers baseball team." And Redditors quickly decided that baseball player Shane Greene fit the bill perfectly. 

In a February 2021 episode of  "Call Her Daddy," Cooper explained that she gave him that moniker because she never saw him as a potential partner. Although the podcast host formed a deep emotional connection with "Door No. 3," their union didn't last either — simply because of timing. "Every time I was ready, then he wasn't ready and then when he was ready, I wasn't ready," she clarified.

Although Alex Cooper openly discusses the highs and lows of her complex dating history on her hit podcast, she still manages to keep things relatively private by only referring to her exes using monikers. During a February 2021 episode of "Call Her Daddy," she reminisced about being a sophomore in college and striking up a romantic connection with a Boston Red Sox player who was 13 years older than her. "Red Sox Man" introduced her to a luxurious and lavish lifestyle. However, it wasn't without its downfalls because she had to accept that he wouldn't fully commit and continued to date other women as well. "I was walked all over. I was treated like s***," Cooper sadly acknowledged. "He opened truly my eyes to some of the most psychotic, intense games that were possible to be played." 

Meanwhile, on "Call Her Daddy" in June 2024, the host recalled how her anonymous baseball player beau had once turned down her invitation to go to a club, so she decided to have a girls' night out without him. However, Cooper ran into her partner there and had a drunken confrontation with him in the men's bathroom. While she hasn't spared many details about the mystery man's identity, Redditors have long speculated that it may have been Mike Napoli, who played with the baseball team from 2013 to 2015. Those years align with the time Cooper was a sophomore and he's also, crucially, 13 years her senior.

During Alex Cooper's April 2021 appearance on Dave Portnoy's "BFFs" podcast, she revealed that she had had a brief sexual encounter with infamous YouTuber Logan Paul. The "Call Her Daddy" host was under the impression that neither of them would tell a soul, but Cooper quickly learned that Paul was going around bragging to anyone who'd listen that they'd slept together. She insisted that wasn't the case, with the podcaster clarifying that she had only performed oral sex on him and quipping, "It was for a business meeting. It gets me in the mood to make deals." 

Meanwhile, her alleged lover shared his side of the story on his own podcast, "Impaulsive," in May 2021. After gushing about Cooper's talents during their purported sexual encounter, he confirmed that they hadn't had sex. While Paul argued that it would be a shame to let their good experience remain a total secret, he denied Cooper's claim that he had told loads of people about it and asserted that he'd only told his friend Harry Jowsey. The YouTuber also stressed that he had reached out to his fellow podcast host afterwards to ensure that there was no bad blood.

Additionally, Paul took a moment to highlight all the hard work Cooper put into her show and how detail-oriented she was. Ultimately, it seems like the revelation didn't cast a dark shadow over their one-off experience. During an August 2021 episode of "Call Her Daddy," the host shared that she'd had an awkward run-in with Paul when she was at a nightclub with Cooper's fiancé, Matt Kaplan. And the YouTuber dialed in to apologize for it!

On a March 2020 episode of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Alex Cooper proclaimed that she had struck up a romantic connection with a man she dubbed simply "The Canadian." However, the early stages of their romance took a weird turn when he sent her a photo of him with two other men whom she was also testing the waters with at the time. If that wasn't bizarre enough already, Cooper soon realized that the trio was quarantining together during the COVID-19 pandemic. They even had group calls with her where none of them brought up the fact that they were all involved with her. 

The awkward situation eventually led Cooper and "The Canadian" to call it quits. Unfortunately, the awkwardness of that situation paled in comparison to other cringeworthy moments in her dating life. In another episode of "Call Her Daddy," she recalled how a man who had a wedding ring on had approached her to see if she could be the woman who would take the place of the one he had been dating for six years. 

Additionally, Cooper accepted that her openness with discussing her sex life on the hit show made her dating life even harder because men would go out with her expecting nothing more than a one-night stand. In addition to her tumultuous dating life, Cooper has endured tons of drama in her professional life too. In 2020, her co-host Sofia Franklyn left "Call Her Daddy" and the two women became embroiled in a bitter public feud.
