Cooper Reveals Pregnancy Test Delivery to Kaplan

Cooper told listeners in June that she experienced the “itch” to become a parent after traveling and accomplishing certain personal and professional goals. She recalled telling Kaplan that a child was the only thing missing. To share the news, Cooper handed her partner a positive pregnancy test and told him she hoped he liked his non-refundable gift. She remembered that he looked so shocked, after which they both started crying without saying anything in that moment, and he pulled her onto his lap as they were hugging and kissing and crying, leading to an incredible night that she will forever and always cherish. E! News noted that Cooper previously admitted she never planned on marrying before meeting Kaplan, though her relationship with the film producer changed her mind.

Prior to the pregnancy announcement, Cooper addressed online speculation regarding the status of her marriage during an episode of her podcast.
