Alexandra "Alex" Cooper was born in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Cooper's breakthrough came with the creation of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in 2018, which she co-hosted with Sofia Franklyn. The podcast was originally part of Barstool Sports, where it quickly gained a large following due to its raw and humorous discussions about relationships. Her success led to the podcast becoming one of the most downloaded shows on Spotify, before moving to SXM in a landmark deal, making Cooper one of the highest-paid podcasters globally.
