Alex Cooper surprised her parents with the ultimate gesture to show her appreciation for them — and how much she wants to keep them close by.

During a Christmas Day installment of Call Her Daddy, the hit podcaster revealed that her parents are moving from her childhood home in Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, where they'll live in a house Cooper, 30, purchased for them. In the episode, she looked back on the "emotional moment" when she and her husband, Matt Kaplan, first approached her mom and dad with the idea.

"To be able to go to my parents this past summer ... and be like, 'I want to buy you guys a house and I want to do this for you. And I'm so excited to be able to do this for you, and I want nothing in return. I just want your happiness and I want you guys to enjoy it and thrive and maybe babysit sometimes if I have kids,' " Cooper recalled of their conversation. "It's such a cool feeling."

She said the discussion made them all cry, and it "meant so much" to Cooper as she reflected on how her parents have supported her, going back to her younger years playing soccer and working toward an athletic college scholarship.

"My mom and dad sacrificed every single f---ing day hauling me to different counties and getting on flights and taking me to soccer tournaments and taking me to private training sessions and taking me everywhere I wanted to go," the influencer shared.

"It all led me to be able to do what I love for a living, and I literally wouldn't be here without them," she continued. "Buying them a house is like the least I could f---ing do, because they sacrificed financially, emotionally. They sacrificed with my other siblings in moments for me. So it feels really, really, really f---ing insane and incredible that I get to do this."

In addition to seeing her parents move into the gracious gift, Cooper already has a big year ahead of her. Call Her Daddy is set to continue with SiriusXM in 2025, along with other exclusive content, events and more from Cooper's Unwell Network.

Sources have reported her multi-year deal with SiriusXM is worth over $100 million, with some estimates ranging up to $125 million, according to Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. Cooper's new contract marks a huge leap from her previous $60 million, three-year agreement with Spotify, which she inked back in 2021 after leaving Barstool Sports.
