Podcaster Sofia Franklyn, one-half of the duo who co-created Call Her Daddy, is now in a new period of her life, and it comes with the fact she is engaged. The 38-year-old media personality announced the happy news on September 1 with an array of intimate snaps, captioning the post cheekily, "the OG man-eater is engaged". The engagement follows years of drama following Franklyn's breakup with Call Her Daddy's Alex Cooper in 2020, when the show was at the height of its popularity.
Franklyn has since struck out on her own with her podcast, Sofia with an F, and is now moving on to the next chapter of her own story, marked by a few monumental life changes. The announcement was vintage Sofia, sophisticated and sexy, rich in cheeky fun. Pictures showed her mystery fiancé proposing over a glass of red wine on a balcony overlooking calm waters. The romantic setting was the perfect backdrop for the moment, though Franklyn made sure to not let her partner's identity escape, adding to her air of mystery about her love life.

Fans also got a closer look at the dazzling ring. True Franklyn fashion, she announced it in a funny clip that shows her dipping fries into ketchup and subtly flashing the round-cut diamond on a gold band. Like any decision made in service to this, it was a choice that struck a balance between her eye-popping humor and the adrenaline of the moment, but also served to remind customers that she's still the same unfiltered voice of reason they have come to know and rely on over the years. Adding another layer to it, Franklyn disclosed in a text that her fiancé had proposed on August 26, the exact same day Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift surprised fans with engagement news of their own. Coincidentally or not, the parallel timing only added to the buzz surrounding her announcement.
While she was transparent about the controversies and criticisms she had to endure, Franklyn's overall tone remained reflective. In a Seer 2 post, she wrote, "found love despite the villain edit," which seemed like her way of calling attention to her often rocky public persona but also of celebrating her happiness in the moment. For those who have followed her journey from the Call Her Daddy drama to her solo endeavors, this engagement feels like a full-circle moment. Sofia Franklyn is not only the brazen podcaster who stirs up conversations, but she is now a bride-to-be, showing love for herself in her own way.
