Early life and acting roles

In January 2022, Cooper signed on with The Daily Wire to start a new podcast called The Comments Section with Brett Cooper.[10] According to the "About" section of the show's YouTube channel, it is a "viral content and news review show."[11]
The Week described Cooper's show as "aim[ing] to capture a Gen Z audience on TikTok and YouTube."[12] According to Rachel Leishman at The Mary Sue in October 2023, "The trailer for the show sets it up as if she is reading comments and making a statement on what 'leftists' are saying or pushing back against liberal ideals, but in reality, she just picks a topic of conversation and shares her opinions."[13]
Personal life
In October 2023, Cooper became engaged to Alex Tombul,[14] the founder of an advertising agency.[15] They married in April 2024.[15][16]
