Social media sensation Alex Cooper has today delighted her fans by sharing the heartwarming news that she and long-term partner Matt Kaplan in a secret ceremony.
The podcast star - famed for presenting the hit lifestyle and comedy podcast Call Her Daddy - took to Instagram on Wednesday (24 April) to share snaps from her big day, which took place on the Riviera Maya, Mexico.

Later, in a series of photos uploaded to the app - obtained exclusively by Vogue - the happy couple could be seen posing side-by-side on a beach, with feminist frontrunner Alex donning a breathtaking Danielle Frankel silk gown and Matt looking suave in a black tuxedo.
In another gorgeous image, the pair were joined by their beloved goldendoodle dogs, Henry and Bruce, who took on the role of ring bearers.
Speaking to the high-fashion news outlet, the YouTube star, 29, spoke lovingly of the day she tied the knot to the man of her dreams.
"Growing up, I witnessed my parents live the once-in-a-lifetime love—they are still together, 40 years this year," she explained.
"I was convinced I would never find what they had, and so I didn’t expect it and didn’t look for it.
"Little did I know, I just needed to find my Matt Kaplan."
For those unfamiliar with Alex and Matt's tear-jerking love story, the duo first came face-to-face (well, almost) back in 2020, when they met on Zoom in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was during their first video call that Alex gave her future hubby the adorable nickname 'Mr. Sexy Zoom Man', so that he wouldn't be identified when she discussed her love life on her podcast.
This title which was later inscribed onto one of their two white wedding cakes in romantic red icing, snaps of which were also posted online.
Within three years, the couple had fallen head over heels, shacked up together, and last year, they broke the exciting news that Matt had popped the question.
Giving Vogue an insight into their big day, Alex said of the intimate beachside ceremony: "It was everything we wanted it to be. It was emotional, heartfelt, and we tailored it to exactly how we always envisioned it."
She continued: "We wanted to choose a destination that was private, romantic, and felt like a vacation for not only us but all of our guests.
"It was really important to us to keep the guest list small so we could be present with each other and the people who we love the most and who have helped us become who we are today."
A-dorable!
