Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Just days ago, Hulu pulled back the curtain for the first look at Call Her Alex, a two-part docuseries chronicling how Alex Cooper vaulted from college soccer star to podcast royalty, now premiering this year and already creating headlines from Variety and The Wrap. This documentary, directed by Ry Russo-Young, promises an unfiltered portrait of my rise, from unorthodox upstart to the architect of a podcast media empire, tracking intimate details about my upbringing in Boston, training as a soccer prodigy at BU, and the messy grind of translating personal history into The Unwell Tour, which kicked off in Boston this summer. The social media buzz has been intense—Shira Lazar’s Instagram post with Inc. magazine commended Call Her Daddy as not just a podcast but a masterclass in digital brand-building. Right as the documentary headlines broke, Deadline Film + TV reported that I joined forces with my fiancé, Matt Kaplan—the ace producer behind youth mega-hits like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before—to launch Trending, a new media venture built for Gen Z. Trending is designed to meet audiences “on their terms,” delivering podcasts, unscripted formats, digital media, and live events. The news ricocheted across industry trades, positioning Kaplan and me as a power couple shifting not only what people consume, but how they consume it.On the business front, Sirius XM’s multimillion-dollar acquisition of Call Her Daddy marked a seismic payout, following my celebrated $60 million Spotify deal—Forbes estimates my earnings now top $32 million with my overall net worth potentially between $22 and 60 million. Totempool details a sharp rise: $5 million in 2022, $10 million in 2023 through brand deals, $15 million in 2024 on merchandise, and a projected $20 million in 2025 including book initiatives.On the show and personal side, recent podcast episodes finally pulled back the veil on my best friend, Laren McMullen, revealing her previously secret but vital role as producer. AOL spotlighted our lifelong friendship and her academic leap from neuroscience at Columbia to steering Daddy Gang as key creative partner. That same candid spirit was on display in a blow-out end-of-summer party reported by AOL, capping a string of public celebrations and promo events for the Hulu launch. If there’s one common headline: Alex Cooper isn’t just rewriting media playbooks—she’s teaching the class.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
