Alex Cooper's Childhood Home Sells for $780K After She Bought a House for Her Parents in L.A.

Alex Cooper's childhood home in Pennsylvania was sold for $780,000 in May 2025, according to public records viewed by PEOPLE
News of the sale comes five months after the Call Her Daddy host revealed she purchased a house in Los Angeles for her parents, Bryan and Laurie Cooper
Cooper previously opened up about buying a house for her parents during an episode of Call Her Daddy in December 2024 in the wake of her $125 million podcast deal with SiriusXMThe Cooper family has gone cross country.
Alex Cooper's childhood home in Pennsylvania was sold five months after the Call Her Daddy host revealed she bought a house for her parents, in Los Angeles, according to public records viewed by PEOPLE.
The East Coast property previously owned by Cooper's parents, Bryan and Laurie Cooper, was sold for $780,000 in May, per the records. It has four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
Cooper grew up in the Pennsylvania home with her parents and siblings, sister Kathryn and brother Grant, until she moved to Massachusetts to attend Boston University on a full-ride soccer scholarship.
In December 2024, the podcast host announced that she bought her mom and dad a home situated close to her Los Angeles residency during an episode of Call Her Daddy, and broke down the emotional moment she approached them 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," she said during a Christmas Day installment of the podcast.
Cooper, who said she discussed the idea with her parents alongside her husband Matt Kaplan, explained that she hoped for nothing more than their happiness in exchange for the home — and perhaps, an extra hand should they have a baby in the future.
"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."
The media mogul recalled the emotional moment, revealing that their conversation made them all cry. She said it "meant so much" to her, especially being that parents supported her and her goals since childhood.
"My mom and dad sacrificed every single f------ 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," she said.
"It all led me to be able to do what I love for a living, and I literally wouldn't be here without them," the influencer continued. "Buying them a house is like the least I could f------ do, because they sacrificed financially, emotionally."
She added, "They sacrificed with my other siblings in moments for me. So it feels really, really, really f------ insane and incredible that I get to do this."
In June 2022, the Los Angeles Times reported that Cooper's annual salary was $20 million, making her the highest-paid female podcaster on Spotify.
Three years later, the podcast host signed a $125 million three-year deal with SiriusXM in August 2024, bringing Call Her Daddy and The Unwell Network to the radio giant.

'Karma Chameleon' is Culture Club's biggest hit. So why don't band members like it?

'Karma Chameleon' is Culture Club's biggest hit. So why don't band members like it? Show Caption Hide Caption Elton John unable to see London musical due to vision loss Singer Elton John told a London crowd he could not see The Devil Wears Prada show due to his recent vision loss. "Karma Chameleon" may be Culture Club's catchiest song, but it's still a sore spot for some band members. In a new documentary, "Boy George & Culture Club," which premiered at the New York Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month, members of the British supergroup lamented the mainstream quality of the song – a harsh departure from their more new wave sound. "We could have put out a fart in a bottle in (1983), it would've been No. 1, and that was it," guitarist Roy Hay, 63, told People of the song at the documentary's premiere. Culture Club film delves into history filled with drama, Boy George, love and drugs "No, I'm kidding," he added. "Here's the thing: It's become a very iconic song, and when we close our concerts with it, and having people singing it back, it's amazing. But if you put it up against the rest of our catalog, it doesn't stand up as a song. But it's a great record." The track, a pure uptempo pop tune more symptomatic of the '80s dance craze, is now a karaoke staple, playing in grocery store aisles and at Bat Mitzvahs, a commercial winfall and a critical shortcoming for a band more focused on the post-punk scene. Boy George on 'Life,' sobriety and why he never gets sick of playing Culture Club hits Boy George, the lead singer and most famed Culture Club alum, had written the song and vouched for its quality despite doubts from the rest of the band. "I knew that if we didn't do it, it would've upset George," bassist Mikey Craig told People. "So I said to Roy, 'We've got to do it.' And we made a bet that it was going to be a No. 1, and Roy lost." "I think we lost a lot of credibility with 'Karma Chameleon,'" Hay told USA TODAY at the premiere. "But it's what we're remembered for." George was notably absent from the film's premiere, as was drummer Jon Moss. Moss and George's complicated romantic relationship helped contribute to the band's downfall, and in 2023, Moss won $2.3 million in a lawsuit against the group, alleging that he was expelled before a 2018 tour. From producer Alison Ellwood, whose recent deep dives into the Laurel Canyon scene and the careers of Cyndi Lauper and The Go-Go's have gained her acclaim, follows Culture Club as they catapulted to stratospheric success in the early '80s with a distinctive combination of pop, reggae and blue-eyed soul hits. It will be available to stream on Netflix later this year. Contributing: Melissa Ruggieri, USA TODAY

Elizabeth Hurley poses nude for 60th birthday, celebrates 'love' with Billy Ray Cyrus

Elizabeth Hurley is marking her 60th birthday by professing her 'love' for new boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus and celebrating the milestone occasion in her birthday suit. 'Happy birthday to me! This year has already been a wild ride,' Hurley wrote alongside a nude photo of herself on Instagram. She went on to namecheck her longstanding business partnership with beauty brand Estée Lauder, the 20th anniversary of her eponymous swimwear company, and being 'in love' with Cyrus, whom she went public with back in April. 'Feeling very blessed and grateful for having the best friends & family in the world,' Hurley continued, adding that the snap was 'taken this afternoon… in my birthday suit.' In the photo, Hurley beamed happily as she was captured sitting in a sun-drenched grassy field with her legs crossed. Cyrus shared a photo of himself cuddling Hurley and called the actress 'the love of my life.' Meanwhile, Hurley's celeb pals and fans also took an opportunity to wish her a happy birthday. Her son, Damien, commented on her post 'Hahahah I LOVE YOU ♥️♥️♥️ happy birthday mama xxx.' Actress Patsy Kensit called Hurley 'the most beautiful kind human being' and said she was happy to see her friend finding joy again with her 'true love Billy, who is so fabulous.' America's Got Talent judge Heidi Klum called Hurley 'beautiful, smart and funny' as she shared her best wishes. 'I have never seen a more gorgeous 60-year-old,' one fan praised, while another added, 'Birthday suit suits you.' A third commenter wrote, 'Amazing woman. Amazing face. Amazing body. You spread positivity. Happy Birthday.' Hurley's birthday revelation comes after she debuted her new romance with Cyrus in April. After going Instagram official over Easter, the new couple shared a pair of loved-up images on social media, showing their infatuation with one another is real. Hurley, who met Cyrus while filming the 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Paradise, shared the snaps to her Instagram, captioning the head-over-heels photos: 'Tennessee weekend.' 'Liz spent a beautiful couple of weeks in Tennessee with Billy Ray,' a source told PEOPLE. 'She loved being surrounded by nature in a more laid-back environment. She had a great time with Billy Ray.' Cyrus and Hurley 'appreciate each other's love and friendship,' the insider added. 'They have a very special connection.' According to a source speaking to Us Weekly, the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery star and the Achy Breaky Heart singer, 63, had been dating in secret for about four months before going public. 'Liz's friends have known about it for a while. It's not a new thing,' another insider close to Hurley told the outlet. 'She had sworn them to secrecy, and they didn't tell anyone outside her tight circle.' Another confidante said that after being 'friends for years … it turned romantic recently. Things are going well.' One source told Page Six that the relationship is the real deal. 'This is not a hoax,' a friend spilled to the outlet. 'Liz is not a hoaxy person; she's very sincere, very bright and I think she likes him.' After making their social media debut, the pair walked the red carpet at the Orizzonti/Rosso exhibition in Rome last month. The duo's glam appearance in Italy came as a source told PEOPLE that Hurley 'doesn't care' that fans don't understand her romance with the musician. 'Liz doesn't care that skeptics don't get it. She's focused on the special things that they have in common, like country music,' the insider said. 'She loves his Southern vibes. He's very calm and happy around her.' In an interview with Apple Music's The Ty Bentli Show in April, Cyrus opened up on how the two reconnected after filming Christmas in Paradise together. 'We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there,' Cyrus told Bentli, according to excerpts of the interview that were published by PEOPLE and Entertainment Tonight. 'We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot.' After splitting from his wife Tish, Cyrus went on to marry singer Firerose in 2023. When that relationship ended, Cyrus said that he received a text from Hurley out of the blue. ''Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I'm in your corner. You've got a friend in your corner,'' the message read, as told by Cyrus to Bentli. mdaniell@ Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus cozy up in new IG pics Elizabeth Hurley and older sister sizzle in bikinis Elizabeth Hurley shuts down theory she took Prince Harry's virginity
