Before revealing to her fans that she and Cooper would be receiving 'twins at the beginning of 2022,' Scarlett wrote about how grateful she is for her and Cooper's 'expanding family.'

Cooper named his daughter Betsy Aldridge-Conrad after his maternal grandmother, who died in July, 2022. Cooper said, "My grandma meant the world to both Scarlett and me," after expressing how "full with such delight" they were to become parents for the first child.

Having said that, Cooper's stepmom Crystal Hefner, his father Hugh's third wife, commented on his post: "Great photo".
