‘Call Her Daddy’ host Alex Cooper buys LA home for parents after signing $125M SiriusXM deal

It was a very merry Christmas in the Cooper household.

Alex Cooper revealed she is moving her parents from her childhood home in Pennsylvania to Los Angeles on Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

The SiriusXM star reflected on the “emotional moment” she and husband Matt Kaplan told her parents the big news on the solo episode, noting that they “all cried” happy tears.

“To be able to go to my parents this past summer … and be like, ‘I want to buy you guys a house and I want to do this for you. And I’m so excited to be able to do this for you, and I want nothing in return. I just want your happiness and I want you guys to enjoy it and thrive and maybe babysit sometimes if I have kids,'” Cooper recalled. “It’s such a cool feeling.”

Cooper said having the opportunity to repay her parents after years of sacrifice “meant so much” to her.

“I would not be where I am today without my parents,” she explained. “Like my parents sacrificed so much for me to get to where I am.”

The podcaster reflected on the years her parents “sacrificed every single f—king day” to support her dreams of playing collegiate soccer — which she accomplished at Boston University.

“It all led me to be able to do what I love for a living, and I literally wouldn’t be here without them,” she said.

She continued. “So buying them a house is like the least I could f—king do, because they sacrificed financially, emotionally. They sacrificed with my other siblings in moments for me. So it feels really, really, really f—king insane and incredible that I get to do this.”

While Cooper and Kaplan already purchased the home, the media mogul said it won’t be move-in ready until sometime in 2025.

“Matt is renovating the entire home,” she said, noting that he wants to “make it perfect” for them.

Cooper said the house is about “10 to 15 minutes” away from her Colonial Revival in downtown LA but feels like a piece of the East Coast out west.

“It is such a New England house to its core. Like my parents are from the East Coast, we love the New England style and I remember walking into this home and seeing it for the first time and being like, ‘This is my mother.'”

“Like I got chills thinking about it,” she added.

Cooper said it was the first home she showed her parents in California— and they immediately knew it was “the one.”

“I secretly put a bid on the house and I didn’t tell them and my mom went around with my dad and they saw a bunch of other homes and they were like, ‘We just can’t stop thinking about that first one,'” she recalled.

Cooper waited until they officially got the house before telling her parents she had even made an offer — making them sweat a little.

“I called them and I said, ‘OK, so how are you guys feeling? I know you guys really liked this new one.’ And they were like, ‘We really like this last one but that first house we saw when we walked in there was just something…like the feeling I got, that’s the house.’

“And at the time someone was bidding higher than us and they dropped out and I said, ‘Well that’s so interesting that you are still so obsessed with that house mom because I have some good news.'”

Cooper said her mom began freaking out and they “all started crying and sobbing.”

With the big move on the horizon, Cooper said the family all got together at her childhood home for one final hurrah this Christmas.

It was a big year for the former Spotify star, who jumped from the streaming service over to SiriusXM in a reported $125 million deal.

The podcaster also launched her own talent network, The Unwell Network, which is home to several Gen Z-focused podcasts with creators like Alix Earle, Grace O’Malley and Madeline Argy.

Cooper was previously signed to a $60 million, three-year agreement with Spotify. She inked the deal after leaving Barstool Sports in 2021.
