Alex Cooper made a monumental gesture of love and gratitude for her parents this holiday season, buying them a beautiful home in Los Angeles. The popular podcast host, known for her hit show, shared this heartfelt news during a Christmas episode, recounting the emotional moment when she and her husband, Matt Kaplan, surprised her parents with the incredible gift.
“My parents are officially moving to Los Angeles, California, and I bought them a house,” Cooper announced with emotion. “It makes me so emotional thinking about it because when I started my podcast, I had some vision of what I hoped it would turn into. But to be able to go to my parents this past summer and say, ‘I want to buy you guys a house and I want to do this for you,’ was truly something special. I just want you to be happy and thrive – I want nothing in return.”
This thoughtful act was not only about giving back but also about honoring the sacrifices her parents made throughout her life. Cooper opened up about how her parents supported her dreams, even when it meant financial and emotional sacrifices. Her mom, for instance, took her to community colleges to support her aspirations in film, while her father drove her to countless soccer tournaments in the hopes of earning a college scholarship.
“I would not be where I am today without my parents,” Cooper confessed. “Buying them a house is the least I could do because of all the sacrifices they made for me. They gave so much for me to have the opportunities I have today.”
This generous gesture comes on the heels of a major career milestone for Cooper. After securing a game-changing $125 million, three-year deal with SiriusXM for her podcast, the star has cemented her place as one of the most influential figures in the podcasting world. Cooper’s dedicated fanbase, affectionately known as the “Daddy Gang,” helped propel her podcast to the top, making it one of the most listened-to shows, second only to Joe Rogan’s podcast.


For Cooper, buying her parents a home in Los Angeles following the $125M SiriusXM deal symbolizes her immense gratitude and the importance of family. She reflected on how her parents’ dedication and hard work shaped her journey and enabled her to reach the incredible heights she enjoys today. “I want nothing in return,” she emphasized. “This is just about them enjoying life, and if I have kids, maybe they’ll babysit sometimes too!”
This generous act reflects not just Cooper’s success but also the love she has for the people who helped her get to where she is today.
