Overview
- Cooper told listeners on her Call Her Daddy podcast Wednesday that she and husband Matt Kaplan are not splitting and that they are "great."
- She said the couple’s May 13 red carpet appearance drew attention to their demeanor as they were trying to conceal her pregnancy, which caused her stress and a "mental breakdown" while taking photos.
- Cooper announced the pregnancy on Instagram on May 17 after deciding hiding the bump until August or September was worsening her anxiety.
- Earlier reporting in April by Bloomberg accused Kaplan of berating staff at Unwell Network, a separate workplace controversy that has not been resolved by the couple’s recent statements.
- Tabloid accounts have reported marital "tension" and separate bedrooms, but those claims rely on unnamed insiders and remain less corroborated than Cooper’s on-record denial and the Bloomberg reporting.
