Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper is a fun pop culture debate about who is more iconic playing the role of "Alex" today. Alex Cooper was made famous as the blunt host of *Call Her Daddy*, turning her podcast into a global brand and changing the way women talk about relationships, empowerment, and pop culture. She's bold, unapologetic, and built an empire with her raw voice. Alix Earle, on the other hand, burst onto fame on TikTok with her relatable personality, tips about makeup, and influencer life that cemented her as a social media "it girl" within a blink of an eye. Her authenticity and massive following have made her one of the biggest online celebrities of her age. Both women dominate their spaces—Cooper with her trailblazing podcasting reach and Earle with her viral online presence. Whether Team Alex or Team Alix, both of them have earned their place as cultural icons.
Alex CooperAlexandra Cooper, born August 21, 1994, in Newtown, Pennsylvania, is a force to be reckoned with as an American podcaster, businesswoman, and media icon best recognized as the host and creator of the number-one rated podcast Call Her Daddy, a weekly mix of humor, guidance, and real talk. Born in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Alex is the third of three children of Laurie Cooper, a school counselor, and Bryan Cooper, an experienced television sports producer. She was an outstanding soccer star at Boston University (2013–2015), playing Division I—the early rigor of sports so effortlessly translating into her aspiration. Published in 2018 by Barstool Sports, Call Her Daddy became viral—12,000 downloads rose to 2 million within two months. Alex later signed a single $60 million deal with Spotify in 2021 and later signed an even larger $125 million deal with SiriusXM in 2024, becoming one of the best-paid podcasters in history. In 2025, Time put Alex on its inaugural TIME100 Creators list, ranking her in the "Leaders" category. She has built the Unwell Network, a media business that serves Gen-Z and is worth hundreds of millions today—her brand includes a lifestyle water line, sprawling media collaborations, and a buzzy Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex.
Alix EarleAlix Ashley Earle, born December 16, 2000, Monmouth County, New Jersey, is a vibrant social media influencer and entrepreneur whose authentic "Get Ready With Me" TikToks propelled her as a top spokesperson of Gen Z beauty and lifestyle. Earle attended Red Bank Catholic High School and, in 2023, graduated from the University of Miami with a marketing degree. She also established the Alix Earle Scholarship at the Miami Herbert Business School to cover students in the future. Her authenticity and groundedness—particularly speaking openly about her struggle with cystic acne—sparked raging growth, amassing her millions of followers and achieving so-called "Alix Earle effect," when products she tags sell out rapidly. She co-hosted the podcast Hot Mess with Alix Earle on the Unwell Network in 2023. It became No. 1 ranked on Spotify's podcast list and knocked out The Joe Rogan Experience for the first time in a period of two years. Her fame has been notoriously set in stone: she reached Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2023, appeared on the inaugural TIME100 Creators list in 2025, and now boasts investments and brand collaborations—such as with canned-cocktail firm SipMargs. Most recently, in May 2025, she was announced as a celebrity Dancing with the Stars Season 34 contestant—a suitably dramatic acknowledgement of her rise above cyber fame.
