Call her fiancée because Alex Cooper is engaged.
In an interview with W Magazine (April 24), the presenter of the podcast Call Her Daddy stated that she was engaged to movie producer Matt Kaplan.
After they connected over a Zoom chat in 2020, Alex started dating Matt, who is the CEO of Ace Entertainment and co-produced To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. They had a private relationship for quite some time before going public, as he was simply referred to as “Mr. Sexy Zoom Man” on her podcast before announcing her engagement.

What about the unique way he proposed? It necessitated some skulking.
Matt and Alex’s publicist planned a fake photo shoot in March so that she would already be in hair and makeup for the momentous occasion. After the spoof photo shoot, Alex was welcomed home to a scavenger hunt, music, and a sea of lit candles.
The scavenger hunt, according to Alex, had a new theme and keepsakes from their relationship in each area. A glass of champagne and a card telling her to walk down to their courtyard served as the final hint in the game.
“He was down there with our two dogs in little bow ties,” Alex recalled. “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.’ I, like, blacked out. I think I said yes at first. It was very surreal.”
“Matt and I had talked about having kids together, but I was always unsure if marriage was something that I wanted,” she continued. “Growing up, I never wanted to conform to something that society is telling us: to get married to a man and live happily ever after.”
However, after meeting her now fiancé, Matt her feelings towards marriage completely changed.
“With Matt, it immediately was obvious to me, once our relationship progressed to the point that it was time, that yes, I would love to marry him,” she noted. “We had a really great dynamic early on that I didn’t have in previous relationships, which is the amount that we communicate—even over-communicate—about difficult things. Having that foundation of honesty and trust allowed us to get through things in life that made it so I couldn’t envision anyone else by my side.”
We are so happy for the newly engaged couple and already counting down the days till we get to see pictures of her wedding planning.
