Latest News (Jan 29, 2026): Alexandra Cooper's podcast "Call Her Daddy" released a "Grammy's Special" episode on January 28, 2026, featuring BLACKPINK's Rosé, where Cooper traveled to Seoul and Tokyo to interview the singer about her three Grammy nominations and experience Korean culture, including learning to make a Somaek cocktail.
Early Life and Education
Alexandra Cooper was born on August 21, 1994, in Newtown, Pennsylvania. She is the youngest of three children, with a sister named Kathryn and a brother named Grant. Her father, Bryan Cooper, was a television sports producer, and her mother, Laurie, is a psychologist.
Cooper attended The Pennington School in New Jersey, where she was a competitive soccer player. Her athletic abilities led to a scholarship at Boston University, where she played on the women’s Division I soccer team. Cooper majored in film and television, graduating in 2017.
Career Beginnings
After graduating from Boston University, Alexandra Cooper moved to New York City and began a career in media. She worked in advertising sales for Gotham magazine. Prior to this, she was an on-air studio anchor for Dirty Water Media in 2016. Cooper also created a YouTube channel where she started to build an online presence.
Rise of ‘Call Her Daddy’
In 2018, Cooper and her then-roommate, Sofia Franklyn, launched the podcast Call Her Daddy. The show, which featured candid conversations about sex and relationships, quickly gained popularity. Just one month after its debut, the podcast was acquired by Barstool Sports. This partnership significantly boosted the podcast’s audience, with downloads growing from 12,000 to two million within two months. The early content of the podcast was noted for its unapologetic and often controversial discussions from a female perspective.
A significant turning point for the podcast came in 2020 when a public dispute between Cooper, Franklyn, and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy arose over contract negotiations. The disagreement ultimately led to Sofia Franklyn’s departure from the show. Cooper reached an agreement with Barstool and continued to host Call Her Daddy on her own.
Major Work and Projects
Following the departure of her co-host, Alexandra Cooper continued to develop Call Her Daddy as a solo project. The podcast’s format evolved to include interviews with high-profile guests, which further expanded its reach and influence.
In 2021, Cooper signed a three-year exclusive deal with Spotify, reportedly worth over $60 million, to bring the podcast to their platform. This move solidified her status as a leading figure in the podcasting industry. Under the Spotify deal, Call Her Daddy continued to grow, becoming one of the top podcasts globally.
Building on the success of the podcast, Cooper founded The Unwell Network, a media company focused on creating content for Gen Z audiences. The network has signed other popular online personalities to host new podcasts. Cooper has also expanded her brand into other ventures, including live tours and merchandise.
