For his part, Cooper gushed about how his daughter saved his life.
“Honestly, I’m not sure I’d be alive if I wasn’t a dad — I don’t know,” the 49-year-old explained on a February episode of “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepherd.” “I just needed someone to say, ‘We’re gonna drop this massive anchor,’ and I’m like, ‘Why? We’re speeding. We just got an upgrade on the boat and I know where the wind is coming in.’ And they’re like, ‘No, there’s a tsunami coming and you need an anchor and we’re gonna drop it. This is going to dictate everything you do from now on.’”
