Supermodel Gigi Hadid and acclaimed actor Bradley Cooper’s relationship has blossomed from initial casual sightings in October 2023 into a serious, two-year romance, marked by public displays of affection, mutual family integration, and strong support for each other’s careers, consistently captivating their global fanbase.
The romance between supermodel Gigi Hadid and Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper has evolved significantly since their first public appearance, growing into a formidable connection that spans two years. What began as a series of casual outings in New York City has transformed into a serious relationship, defined by shared values, family bonds, and unwavering mutual support, as detailed by multiple reports from People and Entertainment Tonight.
For fans following their journey, every public sighting and subtle hint has painted a picture of a relationship built on genuine affection and a deep understanding of each other’s demanding lives. From cozy Broadway dates to intimate family gatherings, their bond continues to strengthen, proving that this is far more than a fleeting Hollywood fling.
The Genesis of a Star-Studded Connection: October 2023
The first whispers of a romance between Gigi Hadid, 28, and Bradley Cooper, 49, emerged in October 2023. They were initially photographed together leaving a dinner at Via Carota in New York City on October 5, sparking immediate dating rumors. Just days later, on October 8, they were spotted returning to New York after an apparent weekend trip, both seen with overnight bags.
Sources at the time described their connection as casual but promising. “They are having fun,” an insider told People, noting that Hadid had “had sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while.” Despite the 20-year age gap, a source for Us Weekly highlighted their common ground, stating, “They’re both single parents to a young daughter, and they share a similar sense of humor.” Hadid shares 3-year-old daughter Khai with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, while Cooper shares 7-year-old daughter Lea De Seine with ex Irina Shayk.
The reactions from their respective exes were also a point of interest. Sources told Entertainment Tonight in October 2023 that both Zayn Malik and Irina Shayk were at peace with the burgeoning relationship, prioritizing their children’s happiness. This supportive environment laid a healthy foundation for the couple to explore their connection.
A Blossoming Romance: From Late 2023 into Early 2024
As 2023 drew to a close and 2024 began, Hadid and Cooper’s relationship visibly intensified. November 2023 saw them on multiple date nights, including an off-Broadway play and an evening out after Hadid’s viral night with Taylor Swift. Sources observed their relationship as escalating rapidly, with one telling Page Six, “their relationship is on steroids. It’s getting serious very quickly. They are together everyday.”
By February 2024, the romance was undeniable. The couple spent their first Valentine’s Day together, even coordinating outfits in matching gray beanies and black tops. A source for Entertainment Tonight declared, “Gigi and Bradley are in love,” adding that “things have continued to blossom between Gigi and Bradley and have gotten serious.” This period also saw significant steps towards family integration, including Gigi meeting Bradley’s mother, Gloria Campano, for dinner in January.
A pivotal moment arrived on March 14, 2024, when they were spotted packing on public displays of affection (PDA) at Via Carota in New York City, dining with friends including Queer Eye stars Tan France and Antoni Porowski. Photos from the outing showed Hadid leaning over to kiss Cooper, a clear public affirmation of their deepening bond, following Cooper’s appearance at the 2024 Oscars.

Shared Lives and Family Bonds: Spring and Summer 2024
The spring and summer of 2024 solidified their status as a “full-blown relationship.” In April 2024, Hadid celebrated her 29th birthday with Cooper and her family, marking another step in their integration. Their social circle also expanded, with reports of them double-dating with friends Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
May brought a fun-filled weekend at the Bottlerock food and music festival in Napa, California, where they were seen dancing to Stevie Nicks and Cooper even joined Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder on stage. A source told Entertainment Tonight in May that “Gigi and Bradley are also excited about their relationship and enjoying this moment and all their time together,” noting the shared interests and strong bond among the double-dating couples.
By early July 2024, a People source confirmed the seriousness of their bond, stating, “I wasn’t sure this was anything other than a casual fling when it started, but it has grown more serious.” The summer culminated in a romantic yacht trip off the coast of Palmarola, Italy, in August 2024, where they were photographed sharing a passionate kiss, notably alongside Cooper’s daughter, Lea. This outing underscored the blending of their families, a crucial aspect of their relationship.
Public Affirmations and Deepening Support: Late 2024 – Early 2025
The latter half of 2024 and early 2025 saw Hadid and Cooper openly supporting each other in their professional and personal lives. In October 2024, Hadid revealed that Cooper would be on “dad duty” for Lea while she walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, yet remained “so supportive” from afar. Their date nights continued, including an appearance at Broadway’s Chicago in November 2024.
The holiday season further highlighted their commitment, with sources telling Entertainment Tonight in December 2024 that “Gigi is in love with Bradley, and they’re very happy together.” Their shared dedication to parenting was a key bonding factor, with their daughters reportedly spending time together. While an engagement wasn’t rushed, discussions about their future together were ongoing, and both families approved of their relationship.
Early 2025 brought more glimpses into their integrated lives. Their children, Lea and Khai, “spend time together,” making their blended family dynamic “very sweet,” according to People. Hadid was also spotted visiting Cooper on the set of his upcoming film, Is This Thing On?, in March and April 2025, showing her unwavering support for his creative endeavors.
Gigi’s Perspective: A Rare Glimpse into Their Private World
In March 2025, Gigi Hadid offered a rare and intimate look into her relationship with Bradley Cooper during an interview with Vogue. She shared that they connected at a “backyard birthday party” for a mutual friend’s child, underscoring the organic and grounded nature of their bond. She candidly spoke about the challenges of dating as public figures, emphasizing the importance of privacy for their relationship.
Hadid described their relationship as “very romantic and happy” and expressed immense gratitude for finding Cooper. “I just feel really lucky,” she stated, highlighting the importance of knowing what one wants and deserves in a partner. She also praised Cooper’s influence on her career, noting, “I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief.” This mutual admiration and support have evidently fueled her own ambitions, including her audition for Disney’s live-action Tangled.
