American conservative commentator and actress Brett Cooper—best known for hosting The Comments Section on YouTube, produced by The Daily Wire—is now enjoying a happy married life with her husband, Alex Tombul.
At first, Brett kept their relationship out of the spotlight. But these days, the media personality is more than happy to share their milestones and everyday moments with their followers across social media.
From growing up just a few miles apart to now living out their picture-perfect married life, here’s everything you need to know about their marital relationship.
Who Is Brett Cooper’s Husband, Alex Tombul?
Tombul is the founder of a creative ad agency based in Nashville, where he specializes in branding, marketing strategies, and helping businesses grow their presence. With a knack for big-picture thinking and creative direction, he’s made a name for himself in the advertising world.
In addition to running his own agency, Alex works independently as a freelance strategy director, lending his expertise to a wide range of clients. Before launching his own venture, he held leadership roles at several major firms. He worked as a senior strategist at BUNTIN and later served as Associate Director of Strategy & Insights at VMLY&R.
The Couple Grew Up a Few Miles Apart but Didn’t Connect Until 2022
Brett and Alex spent their early years just five miles from each other, surrounded by overlapping circles of mutual friends. In fact, Cooper’s hubby, Alex, even went to high school with her brother. Still, their paths never crossed in any real way—until 2022.
They officially met in April of that year, and things clicked right away. Their first date was at Lockeland Table, a local favorite in Nashville, and from that point on, the two quickly became inseparable.
According to his family, Alex had always been notoriously selective when it came to dating. He hadn’t had a serious girlfriend since middle school, but that all changed when he met Brett.
They Got Engaged in October 2023
For a long time, The Brett Cooper Show host kept her relationship with her life partner Alex completely off the radar. Everything stayed quiet until October 18, 2023, when Brett surprised everyone with an Instagram post announcing their engagement.
In the photos, Brett was all smiles—hugging, kissing, and flashing her engagement ring in front of what looked like a stone castle. But Alex’s face? Still hidden. While she gave fans a peek into the moment, she kept his identity just mysterious enough.
“Just full of surprises this week 😉 💍,” she captioned the post. In another line, she added, “I am so unbelievably excited to marry this man. Talking about it tonight on Comments Section ❤️.”
The Comments Section went wild. Fans were shocked—not just by the engagement, but by the fact that Cooper had never publicly acknowledged she was even dating someone. One follower wrote,
“Brett Cooper just got engaged, bro. I’m overwhelmed with distraught.”
Brett and Alex Got Married in April 2024: Their Iconic Wedding Celebration
The lovebirds tied the knot on April 6, 2024, surrounded by loved ones at The Venue at Birchwood in Spring Hill, Tennessee. The charming location, owned by Cooper’s co-star and bridesmaid Rose Reid, provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate celebration.
For the ceremony, Brett wore a custom satin gown by Daalarna, designed in Budapest. The dress featured dramatic off-the-shoulder sleeves and pearl tuxedo buttons, giving it a timeless, elegant touch. Later in the evening, she surprised guests by changing into a reimagined version of her mother’s wedding dress for the reception.
The wedding was filled with sentimental moments. Brett’s brother, Chase, walked her down the aisle, and during the ceremony, a cardinal appeared at the chapel window—something Brett has shared is a symbol of her late brother David. Their friend Israel McFarland performed a live rendition of “June” as she made her way down the aisle.
Guests enjoyed espresso drinks in custom cups decorated with illustrations of the couple’s dogs. Dinner was served on mismatched antique china, with barbeque from Rooster’s BBQ. Dessert included a confetti cake with Italian buttercream, baked by their friend Dana Commandatore, along with four cheesecakes from a family friend based in Tampa.
Cooper Is Expecting a Baby With Her Husband
It’s been a milestone-filled ride for Cooper and her spouse, Alex—meeting in 2022, getting engaged in 2023, tying the knot in 2024, and now, in May 2025, they’re gearing up to become parents.
Brett shared the exciting baby news on Instagram, posting a playful photo of her growing bump surrounded by cows in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Surprise!! Growing more than just baby cows right now!!! 👶🏻🐮🎉” she wrote.
She followed it up with, “We are SO excited, and thank you to everyone in Phoenix who was there to help us celebrate our ‘special guest’ lol!!!!”
The Two Live on a Farm in Tennessee
The Tombul duo has traded the spotlight for a quieter, more grounded lifestyle. The couple lives in Franklin, Tennessee, where they own a farm filled with cattle and other animals.
Their life on the farm reflects more than just a love for the outdoors—it’s a shared project that taps into both of their strengths. Alex brings a mix of creativity and ambition that keeps things interesting, and Brett has mentioned how much she enjoys the challenge. Together, they’ve turned their property into a space where hard work meets peaceful living.
Their Age Difference
Cooper and her husband, Alex Tombul, fully “Alexander J. Tombul,” have an eight-year age gap. Brett, born in October 2001, is currently 23, while Alex, born in August 1993, is 31.
The age difference has never been a problem for them. In fact, their connection seems to grow stronger with time. On Alex’s birthday in August 2024, Brett shared a sweet post on Instagram, posting a few cozy photos of the two together.
“Celebrating him is so easy,” she wrote. “He’s strong and steady, yet quick to laugh. A friend to all, but tough when you deserve it. Relentless in his pursuit of truth and goodness. Safe to say I’m OBSESSED with him.”
She also added, “Being your wife is the best part of every single day.”
