    2025/09/17
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Alex Cooper, the rapidly ascending star behind the Call Her Daddy empire and the Unwell Network, is at the center of a dramatic media narrative this week, as she’s become the subject of industry-wide speculation about the future of podcasting’s throne. Perhaps the most consequential headline is that SiriusXM executives are reportedly positioning Cooper as the new crown jewel of the network, a clear shift in their long-term strategy as rumors swirl about the end for Howard Stern’s reign. According to RadarOnline, insiders say Cooper is “the one Sirius is betting the house on,” with leadership viewing her as the face of tomorrow—youthful, cross-platform, and aligned with the tastes of the next generation. While Stern’s future at Sirius remains unconfirmed, Cooper’s brand is being aggressively promoted, and she’s already being given tailor-made projects to cement her status. “Alex is the future,” one SiriusXM executive bluntly told RadarOnline, a statement that could foreshadow a seismic shift in the audio landscape if verified.

    Beyond satellite radio, Cooper’s Unwell Network continues its expansion. Hulu has announced a collaboration with Unwell Productions for an unscripted dating series, Overboard for Love, which Cooper will executive produce, marking her first major foray into television. The show promises a luxury yacht setting with a dating twist and is a clear sign of Unwell’s ambition beyond audio, according to Hulu’s official press release. On the podcast side, however, Cooper’s Unwell Network made waves by dropping Alix Earle’s Hot Mess podcast amid persistent rumors of a behind-the-scenes rift between the two influencers, as reported by Variety and amplified by Page Six. Neither Cooper nor Earle has commented publicly, but fans noted Earle’s absence from Unwell’s Super Bowl party and the lack of promotion for Hot Mess on Unwell’s social channels. The speculation is unconfirmed, but the optics hint at internal shifts on Cooper’s team—her biggest business move since her $125 million, 2024 SiriusXM deal, as described by Encyclopaedia Britannica.

    Socially, Cooper’s Instagram presence remains a powerhouse, with over 3.7 million followers and a high engagement rate, per HypeAuditor analytics. Her posts continue to focus on lifestyle, relationships, and bold, unfiltered content—mirroring her podcast’s evolution into a celebrity-driven, mainstream forum. She’s also fresh off a 2025 documentary, Call Her Alex, which detailed her allegations of sexual harassment by her college soccer coach—claims that have now been echoed by at least one other former player, though the accused coach, Nancy Feldman, has not responded publicly and received a letter of support from nearly 100 former players and staff, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica.

    In sum, Alex Cooper is both consolidating and expanding her empire: from an audio queen potentially poised to inherit Howard Stern’s mantle, to a television producer greenlit by a major streaming platform, to a social media influencer with loyal, highly engaged followers. There are still whispers and tensions—especially regarding the Earle fallout—but the undeniable headline is that, in 2025, Alex Cooper’s star is rising faster than ever, with every move watched by both media executives and millions of fans who treat her as the new voice of a generation.

  • Alex Cooper's $125M SiriusXM Deal: Inside Her Meteoric Rise and the Future of Call Her Daddy
    2025/09/13
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Alex Cooper has been making major headlines over the past several days, solidifying her place as one of the most formidable forces in pop culture and podcasting this year. After months of speculation about her next business play, Variety and AOL confirm that Cooper signed a game-changing multi-year deal with SiriusXM in August 2024, worth a reported $125 million. With this, SiriusXM takes over as the exclusive home for all things Call Her Daddy, replacing Spotify and ultimately locking in the invaluable Daddy Gang audience for the foreseeable future. Cooper’s SiriusXM pact gives her and her Unwell Network the platform—and resources—to roll out new shows, original events, and content in 2025, pushing her even deeper into the podcast and media stratosphere. Cooper herself remarked to Variety that “The Daddy Gang wants more, so we’re getting ready to give them more…I can’t wait for this new chapter to begin.”

    Alongside these business moves, the Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex debuted on June 10, offering fans and newcomers alike an inside look at Cooper’s meteoric rise, her candid storytelling style, and the full transformation from “a self-conscious kid growing up in Pennsylvania” to CEO and internet mogul, as Parade recaps. The documentary and her ongoing commentary about mental health and relationships have kept her in frequent rotation on all major celebrity and entertainment sites.

    On the product front, Cooper’s Unwell Hydration beverage line, developed with Nestlé and targeted at women’s wellness, launched in Target stores and online this past January. Billed as a market disruptor with its “by women, for women” ethos, the hydration drink has been actively promoted across her social channels and spotlighted in outlets like Britannica.

    Social media has been abuzz with rumors about her involvement with The Bachelor franchise. After Cooper posted a cryptic Instagram video cutting into a “Season 30” cake that turned out to have pink icing inside, speculation exploded. Some fans believed she would be joining The Bachelor as a host, others thought it meant she’d helm The Bachelorette, especially after her post said “Change of plans” with a rose emoji. Cooper herself shot down the pregnancy rumors in the comments, but the mystery lingered for several days until the September 10th episode of Call Her Daddy. There, Cooper officially announced that Taylor Frankie Paul will star as the new Bachelorette this season and played up the rumors with playful banter about the franchise and its surprise casting, according to Soap Central and Us Weekly.

    Meanwhile, Forbes confirmed in June 2025 that Cooper is the highest-earning female creator and ranked seventh overall on the Forbes Top-Earning Creators list, pulling in an estimated $32 million last year—a figure widely quoted this week as news of her latest SiriusXM deal circulated.

    For now, every move Alex Cooper makes is both a business headline and a viral talking point, from her SiriusXM era to her signature podcast exclusives and the endless guessing games she sparks on Instagram.

  • Alex Cooper's Cryptic Cake: Is She the Next Bachelorette Host?
    2025/09/10
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Alex Cooper has set social media and entertainment circles abuzz over the past few days after posting a cryptic cake-cutting video to Instagram that sent her millions of fans and much of Bachelor Nation into overdrive. On September 8, Cooper—best known as the powerhouse behind the Call Her Daddy podcast—posted a clip cutting into a cake adorned with the phrase Season 30 in blue icing. Just as the knife reveals a stripe of pink inside, Alex exclaims Wait why is it pink, seemingly echoing the drama and staged surprises she’s become known for. The caption Change of plans with a rose emoji prompted a firestorm of speculation. According to Parade, fans immediately leapt into debate, with many interpreting the blue and pink, the timing, and the rose as a coded announcement that Cooper may be linked to the next season of The Bachelorette, which was skipped this summer for the first time since 2006. Some wondered if she would step in as the new host, replacing Jesse Palmer. Others suspected a Bachelorette lead reveal. And, of course, some took the gender reveal theme as a possible pregnancy tease—something Cooper herself quickly swatted down in the comments with Guys, I’m not pregnant.

    All eyes are now on Cooper and ABC, with fans expecting a big official announcement. Many believe The Bachelor Season 30 marketing is a smokescreen and that the network is preparing to flip the script and drop The Bachelorette instead. While Alex has made no direct confirmation, her own teasing and strategic silence have only fueled the drama. Media outlets like Soap Central and AOL report that at this hour, neither Cooper nor ABC has made a formal statement about her hosting or involvement, but that a joint video teasing the upcoming Bachelorette was released, hinting at a reveal in the next episode of Call Her Daddy, which dropped September 10.

    In business news, Alex Cooper continues to cement her media empire. As highlighted by Parade, her podcast remains one of the most lucrative in the world, with an estimated net worth of 60 million dollars, boosted by a 125 million dollar deal with Sirius XM signed in August 2024 and a separate ongoing beverage collaboration, Unwell Hydration, with Target and Nestlé. She and her husband, producer Matt Kaplan, run the Trending media company, targeting Gen Z with everything from unscripted series to live events. Her social channels are a flurry of memes, reactions, and fan commentary dissecting her every move—Call Her Daddy listeners and Bachelor Nation alike are watching closely, waiting for the next chapter in Alex Cooper’s unpredictable ascent.

  • Alex Cooper's $125M Empire: Docuseries Debut, Alix Earle Feud, and Instagram Controversy
    2025/08/27
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Alex Cooper, the dominant force behind the Call Her Daddy podcast and a widely cited architect of a $125 million media empire, remains in the headlines for both her growing business ventures and her headline-making interpersonal drama. According to Variety and Just Jared, Cooper’s new docuseries Call Her Alex is set to debut at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival before releasing on Hulu. The documentary promises a candid look at her life, tracing her journey from a self-conscious kid in Pennsylvania to CEO and media titan—the kind of narrative calibration that can redefine a public image and deepen her cultural footprint. This project appears particularly significant for Cooper’s long-term biographical legacy, promising to peel back layers and reinforce her transformation from podcaster to media mogul.

    Business coverage from the August 25, 2025 crowdreactmedia weekly roundup reinforced that Cooper’s $125 million SiriusXM deal and her ability to consistently land major guests, ranging from Kamala Harris to Demi Lovato, continue to position her at the very top tier of broadcast talent, although industry analysts are still divided on whether such eye-popping podcast contracts actually benefit network profits in the long run. In other business news, Britannica notes that Cooper, alongside husband Matt Kaplan, continues to expand the Unwell Network and its adjacent products, such as the Unwell hydration drink, targeting new audiences and opening fresh revenue streams.

    On the social and interpersonal front, Cooper’s relationship drama with Alix Earle has escalated into full-fledged public feud territory. Just Jared and Cosmopolitan both report that after dropping Earle’s Hot Mess podcast from the Unwell Network earlier this year, tension has only mounted. Earle, now openly referencing the situation on TikTok and drawing tens of thousands of views in the process, told fans she has “so much information” amid rumors of “bad blood.” AOL also details this feud, which has effectively split fan communities and become a regular subject of tabloid intrigue.

    Meanwhile, social media metrics remain robust. According to HypeAuditor, as of August 26, 2025, Cooper has 3.7 million Instagram followers with above-average engagement, driving estimated monthly earnings between $12,000 and $16,000—and that's just from Instagram. Yet, she’s also been the subject of controversy; SiriusXM and SSBCRACK note she faced both backlash and applause after a recent poolside photo post, following a divisive podcast episode that sparked debate over her approach to certain guest topics.

    Recently, Cooper maintained her place at the cultural table by hosting and executive producing Call Her Daddy, which SiriusXM describes as still commanding a top spot in podcast rankings. The last week alone has showcased Cooper’s ability to balance brand building, media disruption, and public drama—a triad that ensures no shortage of headlines about her in the weeks to come.

  • Alex Cooper's Hulu Docuseries, YouTube Move, and Influencer Feud: Inside Her Media Empire
    2025/08/20
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Alex Cooper just landed another huge milestone in her already high-voltage career, with Hulu officially announcing her new docuseries Call Her Alex set to premiere this summer. The series promises an in-depth look at Cooper’s rise from her Pennsylvania roots to orchestrating her multi-million dollar media empire, directed by Ry Russo-Young. The world premiere is set for June 8 at the Tribeca Festival, complete with a live Q and A featuring Cooper herself. She’s quoted saying this is the deepest she’s ever gone to share her story, which should please the Daddy Gang who’ve followed every twist of her public life. On the business front, Cooper is still making headlines for her SiriusXM mega-deal, with her Call Her Daddy podcast and podcast collective reportedly fetching up to 125 million dollars—a stunner even for the notoriously lucrative podcasting world. Just this week, Cooper revealed that video episodes of Call Her Daddy are moving from Spotify to YouTube, making the content free to watch and hinting at new faces and shows on the horizon. She broke the news on Instagram, where she’s basking in massive engagement with 3.7 million followers and recent monthly earnings in the range of 12,000 to 16,000 dollars according to HypeAuditor, a slight dip from previous months, but still a testament to her consistent marketability. But not everything has been smooth sailing. Cooper has been embroiled in a bubbling feud with influencer Alix Earle, whose Hot Mess podcast was previously part of Cooper’s Unwell Network. The tension exploded into social media shade, and Alix Earle seemed to confirm the split—leading some industry insiders to speculate about internal drama, though neither side has issued extended public statements. Social media also lit up after Cooper was booed during her performance of Take Me Out To The Ballgame at Wrigley Field, an appearance that went viral for all the wrong reasons as fans skewered both her singing and her attempt to channel Harry Caray. Still, she turned the moment into fuel for her show content—a signature move. On the home front, Cooper faced social media criticism for the interior design of her Los Angeles house after a feature story resurfaced on Instagram. Fans accused the decor of being uninspired and “blah,” with home design experts and her own followers weighing in for days. Amid these ups and downs, Cooper’s visibility continues to soar. She was tagged in a showcase by UTA Speakers just yesterday, confirming her status as a sought-after media personality for top-tier events. All things considered, Alex Cooper remains the headline—every development, controversy, or clapback only seems to elevate her cultural footprint.

  • Alex Cooper's Empire: Stern Rivalry, Abuse Revelation, and the Unwell Tour
    2025/08/13
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    It has been an enormous week for Alex Cooper whose name has dominated both entertainment headlines and business news. According to SiriusXM blog coverage as of August 13, Cooper continues to command her space as the global force behind the chart-topping podcast Call Her Daddy, having just hosted Kid Cudi in a high-profile interview touching on Diddy, Cassie, and the artist’s perspective on the music industry. In business developments, the Unwell Tour—part of her growing lifestyle and media brand Unwell Network—has been cited by creator industry analysts as a bellwether for how podcasting talent can drive lucrative live events, suggesting Cooper is successfully shifting from on-demand audio to live engagement and further bolstering her empire.

    One of the major headlines comes courtesy of OutKick and The Sun, who report that Howard Stern is privately irked by Cooper’s extraordinary rise at SiriusXM. Her $125 million three-year deal and her unprecedented influence with younger audiences have reportedly reshaped SiriusXM’s internal power dynamics to the extent that executives purportedly work to keep Stern and Cooper from running into each other at headquarters. This marks a generational transformation, as Cooper is cast as the podcast world’s next-generation superstar replacing old-school radio legends, underscored by her recent interview with Kamala Harris, which beat Stern to the punch for the former VP’s attention.

    Amid the professional highs, Alex Cooper is navigating deeply personal territory in the wake of her bombshell revelation at Tribeca Festival. In her Hulu documentary Call Her Alex, Cooper revealed she had endured sexual harassment by her Boston University soccer coach Nancy Feldman. At the film’s premier, Cooper shed tears as she detailed the emotional fallout from the abuse which she said changed her life and pushed her toward the podcasting world. She has indicated to Us Weekly that she is weighing her options and is determined to advocate for change within collegiate sports, reinforcing that this disclosure will be a lasting part of her legacy.

    On the social media front, the feud between Alex Cooper and influencer Alix Earle continues to simmer. Cosmopolitan and TikTok watchers recently catalogued new barbs, with Earle hinting she knows “so much” about their business split after her Hot Mess podcast was dropped from Cooper’s Unwell Network earlier this year, though Cooper has remained diplomatically silent in public.

    In less reverberating news, snarky threads on fringe social platforms have targeted her private life, but these posts are largely speculative or based on old rumors. Meanwhile, contact and fan engagement remains at a peak, with Unwell management handling requests for Cooper’s appearances, meet-and-greets, and opportunities as she tours and expands her brand.

    Overall, Cooper’s week has intertwined heavy personal revelation, a growing business empire, and headline-making industry intrigue, anchoring her as one of podcasting and entertainment’s most discussed and consequential figures in 2025.

  • Alex Cooper's Fangirl Moment: Zayn Malik's Surprise Visit Sparks Bedroom Poster Confession
    2025/08/09
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Alex Cooper has been at the center of several attention-grabbing moments this week as her profile as a media powerhouse continues to grow. Most notably, her ongoing tensions with fellow influencer Alix Earle have erupted once again. Over the past six months, the two have been surrounded by rumors of a feud after Earle’s podcast Hot Mess was dropped by Cooper’s Unwell Network back in February. The speculation has reached a fever pitch thanks to Alix Earle’s recent TikTok activity where she openly alluded to behind-the-scenes drama and responded to a fan’s comment about the falling out by teasing, “How much time do you have?” According to Cosmopolitan and what’s circulating on Instagram, Alix has basically confirmed the beef, citing business clashes and the death of their friendship post collaboration. Cooper herself distanced Unwell from the decision to end Hot Mess, emphasizing in her TikTok earlier this year that Alix “owns her IP” and was not restricted by Unwell Network, but she’s not publicly responded to the latest shade. With two of the podcast world’s most visible stars at odds, this dynamic has become a major pop culture talking point and could have major long-term impact on Cooper’s business brand and network influence.

    Amid the drama, Alex Cooper is still producing major content on her signature podcast Call Her Daddy, which remains a global hit. This week’s notable episode featured actor and musician Reneé Rapp in a lively, unfiltered conversation that, true to form, dominated fan conversation and kept Call Her Daddy near the top of the podcast charts, as highlighted by SiriusXM. Cooper’s celebrity cachet also generated headlines thanks to her funny confession on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where she recounted nearly suffering a fangirl meltdown when One Direction’s Zayn Malik visited her family home for a podcast interview in 2023—revealing she still has his posters in her childhood bedroom. Media outlets like Parade had fun with her story, and it added a relatable, human moment that fans loved.

    On Instagram, Alex Cooper boasts 3.7 million followers with engagement rates hovering at 3.56 percent and a recent estimated monthly income between twelve to sixteen thousand dollars, according to HypeAuditor. Her Call Her Daddy Instagram page remains active with updates, racking up thousands of likes and comments with each weekly episode drop. Altogether, while her brand commands outsized attention and new episodes reliably spark conversation, the escalating Alix Earle feud and her ongoing visibility in both business and pop culture signal Alex Cooper is still steering the narrative in the podcast world—even as she fends off public drama and media speculation.

  • Alex Cooper's $100M Empire: Alix Earle Fallout, NWSL Deal, and Buying Her Parents a House
    2025/08/06
    Alex Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Alex Cooper has been everywhere these past few days and not always for reasons she would have scripted. Most headline-grabbing is the public unraveling of her business and personal relationship with Alix Earle. According to Grazia Daily and Indian Express, Earle has gone from being the breakout star of Cooper’s Unwell podcast network to shading Cooper openly on TikTok in a way that has fans convinced a dramatic falling-out really did happen. Earle, now shifting focus to YouTube, responded to questions about the split with lines like How much time do you have and My Co-Star told me to start s--- today, I have so much information, we could go, which fueled speculation that there’s plenty of story yet untold. Us Weekly sources have pinned the collapse on clashing business interests and alleged interference from Earle’s father, who reportedly questioned Unwell’s leadership. Cooper, for her part, tried to set the record straight back in May with the Wall Street Journal, saying Hot Mess’s cancellation was a hot mess behind the scenes and confirming Earle kept full rights to her podcast. For now, the once-dynamic duo are going their separate ways, and social media has hardly stopped buzzing.

    Amid the drama, Cooper is still holding onto her status as the undisputed queen of podcasting. Her net worth is making headlines, with outlets including FreeJobAlert and Forbes pegging her at $60 to $100 million in 2025, driven by an eye-popping $125 million multi-year Sirius XM contract signed in late 2024 and boosted by deals like her earlier $60 million Spotify payday. Her signature Call Her Daddy podcast remains a juggernaut, still rolling out new episodes and hosting pop culture heavy-hitters such as Reneé Rapp, as highlighted on the official SiriusXM blog just today. Cooper even became the official hydration sponsor of the National Women’s Soccer League through her Unwell beverage line, which debuted at Target and brought in seven figures in its first year.

    Never content to just ride the wave, Cooper recently made headlines on her own show, revealing she bought her parents a house in Los Angeles as a gratitude gesture following her SiriusXM mega deal, as reported by AOL. She also looked back at her Call Her Daddy origin story in her Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex, opening up about the infamous split with former cohost Sofia Franklyn and how early business battles shaped the podcasting empire she oversees today. Social media, meanwhile, is abuzz with quotes from Cooper addressing ambition and boundaries, clips from Call Her Daddy, and, most notably, endless speculation about the Cooper-Earle drama. It’s been a week where Alex Cooper’s influence, controversy, and ability to command attention are all on full display, likely setting the stage for more revelations and strategic moves to come.
