As stated in a report from PEOPLE published on April 29, 2025, the Call Her Daddy podcaster opened up about the documentary in a press release ahead of its premiere.

"I’ve shared my life with the Daddy Gang since I started Call Her Daddy — but this documentary series takes it even deeper. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the moments that shaped me — the raw, the messy, the personal stuff I’ve never felt comfortable sharing until now," Cooper stated.

The Unwell Network founder further said:

"My hope is that by bringing people along for this part of my journey, they’ll feel both more connected to my life and more empowered in their own."

Raised in Pennsylvania, Alex Cooper is the youngest of three siblings. After finishing high school in New Jersey, she enrolled at Boston University in 2013 to study film and television. During her time there, she also played on the university’s Division I soccer team.

After graduation, Cooper moved to New York, where she worked in advertising sales before launching the Call Her Daddy podcast with her roommate in 2018. Since Cooper started hosting the podcast alone, she has interviewed celebrities such as Kamala Harris, Jane Fonda, Hailey Bieber, and Miley Cyrus.
