What she has said

I have never felt more ready.— Alex Cooper, on Call Her Daddy, June 10, as quoted by SiriusXM

In that June episode she said that as the couple hit their goals, “your girl started to get the itch.” She said the one thing still missing was “a child and starting our own family together,” per SiriusXM.

The episode also covers finding out she was pregnant, telling Kaplan, deciding when to share the news publicly, and her first trimester, including her anxiety, according to SiriusXM’s write-up.

People adds that she said, “I couldn’t be happier that I waited.” She told the magazine in August that “what’s surprised me most is how much of the real experience still doesn’t get talked about,” and that she wants to use her platform to support other parents.
