Alex Cooper gestational diabetes

Overview

In late July 2026, Alex Cooper, host of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, announced on Instagram that she was pregnant and had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She described the news as isolating and turned to online communities for support while emphasizing that the condition can affect anyone, regardless of weight or fitness.

A few days later, Cooper shared a direct Instagram message she received after the disclosure, in which a troll told her not to complain about being pregnant. She posted the message to her Stories and responded sarcastically, noting that most similar comments come from men. Cooper reiterated her feelings of isolation but said that speaking openly aims to raise awareness and help other women feel less alone.
