Alex Cooper, host of the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy,” has openly discussed dating a much older Boston Red Sox player during her sophomore year of college. This mystery man, 13 years her senior, entered Cooper’s life shortly after the Red Sox won the World Series, sparking a whirlwind romance that would significantly impact her future relationships.
Cooper recounted the exciting details of this relationship on a February 2021 episode of “Call Her Daddy” titled “I Have a Boyfriend.” She described meeting him at a bar in the post-World Series celebration and enjoying the perks of dating a professional athlete. “It was dope … I got to bring all my friends. We’d go to the games. Like, it was a cool lifestyle,” she reminisced. The lavish lifestyle included access to his penthouse apartment and Aston Martin, experiences that contrasted sharply with her college life.
Beyond the glamour, Cooper’s relationship came with significant emotional challenges. She admitted to being “walked all over” and “treated like s***,” revealing the darker side of dating a high-profile athlete. The experience exposed her to intense “psychotic games” and ultimately left her feeling deeply hurt. Despite the pain, Cooper acknowledged the relationship’s formative impact, shaping her understanding of relationships and setting the stage for her future dating experiences.
While Cooper has never publicly named the Red Sox player, internet speculation points to Mike Napoli, the Chicago Cubs first base coach, who was part of the 2013 Red Sox World Series championship team. Despite the rumors, Cooper remains tight-lipped about the man’s true identity, leaving fans and followers to continue speculating.
This intriguing chapter in Alex Cooper’s life continues to fascinate listeners, highlighting the complexities and often tumultuous nature of relationships, especially those in the public eye. The mystery surrounding the Red Sox player’s identity adds another layer of intrigue, ensuring the story remains a topic of conversation among “Call Her Daddy” fans.
