Cooper tied the knot with her Hollywood producer husband in April 2024 in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
“It was everything we wanted it to be,” Cooper said of the nuptials in an interview with Vogue. “It was emotional, heartfelt, and we tailored it to exactly how we always envisioned it.”
Kaplan told the publication he led the way with planning their nuptials, and that the pair knew exactly what they wanted for their special day.
“We weren’t looking to have a formal wedding,” he said. "We wanted it to feel relaxed and authentic to us and the location, so from the decor to the festivities, it all was very naturally curated.”
Added Cooper: “We wanted to choose a destination that was private, romantic, and felt like a vacation for not only us but all of our guests. It was really important to us to keep the guest list small so we could be present with each other and the people who we love the most and who have helped us become who we are today.”

The couple first met on a Zoom call in 2020, after which Cooper gave Kaplan the nickname of "Mr. Sexy Zoom Man" on her popular podcast to keep his identity a secret.
While Cooper told W that she wasn't sure marriage was something she wanted, she had a moment of clarity during a November 2022 date night at a restaurant, and she informed Kaplan he could propose "whenever he wanted."
Kaplan — who produced the Netflix hit franchise To All the Boys I've Loved Before — was thrilled. "He was beaming, because he had accepted that maybe we wouldn't get married," she said.
The podcaster also opened up to W about how supportive Kaplan is of her career.
"Matt has always been my biggest supporter," she said. "It's very attractive to have a man not be intimidated by a woman's extreme success."
