When the internet first caught wind of Gigi Hadid dating Bradley Cooper, many were intrigued by this seemingly unexpected pairing. They were first spotted together on July 20, 2025, sharing a ride after dining at Via Carota, a nice and quaint Italian hotspot in New York City’s West Village.
Gigi donned a tan miniskirt, white crop top, and leather jacket, while Bradley went with a relatively more casual vibe in a blue T-shirt, plaid jacket, and cap. They then hopped into an SUV together and zoomed off. Not much, however, was made of this sighting then.
It is believed that the initial connection between the two likely came through mutual friends – with them reportedly being introduced by Cooper’s ex Irina Shayk. Gigi is also close friends with Taylor Swift, who’s in turn friends with Cooper, and Blake Lively. They too share connections with both Cooper and Hadid.
First sightings, casual hangouts,and common ground
The pair kept a low profile after that initial outing, but they were spotted again on June 11, 2025, with Cooper driving Hadid through the streets of NYC. In this instance, she wore aviators, a cozy sweater, and her Loro Piana L19 clutch—keeping her“quiet luxury”game on point. Rumor had it they’d just returned from a private weekend away, andPage Sixeven shared photos of the duo carrying overnight bags.
A few days later, on October 10, aPeopleinsidersaidthat Gigi and Bradley were“having fun.”The source added,“She’s independent, busy, and her days are filled with responsibilities, so I don’t see anything serious happening right away if at all.”The same insider also revealed that Gigi has“had sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while,”adding that both were keeping things casual but open to exploring something more.
On October 15, the romance gained steam as the two reportedly started using Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion as a“secret love nest.”An insiderexplained,“Taylor is a total romantic and loves playing cupid for her friends,”noting that the singer was happy to helpGigi Hadidand Bradley find a private spot to spend time together.
Both Gigi and Bradley are parents—Hadid shares a daughter, Khai, with her ex, musician Zayn Malik, while Cooper has a daughter, Lea, with ex-girlfriend and supermodelIrina Shayk. APeoplesource hinted at this shared lifestyle as a point of connection,saying,
They both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles. It’s cute…and there is an attraction
Soon, fans began to notice thatBradley Cooperstarted subtly mirroring Hadid’s fashion choices not long after they began dating – or perhaps just‘going out.’
Guest in Residence and matching outfits
On October 17, Cooper was seen wearing a sweater from Guest in Residence, Gigi’s cashmere clothing brand, sparking even more excitement about the budding romance. By October 20, the pair were seen walking together on a rainy day in NYC, with Cooper in a laid-back look that included a pair of Ellen boxers, which caused some online buzz.
The sightings kept coming. On November 4, Cooper joined Hadid and her friends, including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Sophie Turner, for a casual dinner. As a nod to their style sync, they coordinated their outfits, with Hadid looking chic in a black jacket and Cooper opting for a hoodie and jeans.

A sourcetoldPeoplelater,“They are getting more and more serious. Gigi’s been spending time in Philadelphia with Bradley.”The source added that they“were quietly dating for much longer before it went public and were very hush-hush, trying to see if things would work between them.”
On November 17, Cooper stepped out in more of her brand’s cozy wear, and while doing that said quite a bit without saying a word.
Building the romance (and matching real estate?)
Cooper and Hadid kept the casual hangouts going as they entered the new year. On August 17, 2025, just after the Golden Globes, they were seen at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles with a small group of friends. Cooper had brought his mother as his date to the awards show and she joined him and Gigi at dinner. A source describedtheir dynamic:
Bradley and Gigi looked happy together. They weren’t overly affectionate, but it was still obvious that they are dating. There were lots of loving glances and flirting.
The real shocker, however, came a few weeks later. According toPage Six, Cooper purchased a $6.5 million farmhouse in Pennsylvania on Valentine’s Day, reportedly close to Gigi’s mom, Yolanda Hadid’s home. The timing wasn’t lost on fans, and it further fueled speculation that things were growing more serious between the pair.
As winter turned to spring, sightings became more frequent. On June 18, 2025, Gigi and Bradley were spotted holding hands while strolling through London – their first public display of affection. This outing also offered a glimpse of how comfortable they’d become, with Hadid even slipping her arm around Cooper’s waist.
A birthday kiss and serious steps
By March 2024, fans and tabloids were convinced things were heating up between Cooper and Hadid. On March 14, the pair attended Antoni Porowski’s birthday dinner at Via Carota (where their story first began) and shared a kiss in front of fellow guests like Porowski’sQueer Eyeco-star Tan France, who had previously cohostedNext in Fashionwith Hadid.
The pair also reportedly enjoyed a low-key breakfast together at Salt’s Cure in New York in February, where onlookers described them as affectionate.“How do you like your eggs?”jokes aside, it was clear to observers that they were cozy and smitten, holding hands and exchanging smiles.

The relationship remained under the radar until August 2024, when Hadid was seen joining Cooper and his six-year-old daughter, Lea, along with his mother, for a family vacation in Sardinia. This trip, captured in candid beach photos of the couple relaxing on a yacht, was viewed by many as a sign that things were indeed getting serious.
Although they haven’t yet made any official announcements, both seem to be committed to raising their children in a supportive environment. Hadid mentioned during anEntertainment Tonightinterviewon October 15 that Cooper wouldn’t be attending her Victoria’s Secret show due to“dad duty,”adding that he was nonetheless“so supportive.”
A source latertoldCosmopolitan,“Gigi, Bradley, Irina, and Zayn are all in a place where they want each person to be happy and healthy. Zayn’s priority is to have a good co-parenting relationship with Gigi.”
By fall, their connection was undeniable, with fans catching glimpses of the two attending Broadway shows and supporting friends in the theater scene.
Real feelings, real life
On November 10, Hadid and Cooper even attended Alyssa Milano’s performance inCabaret, with Milano later sharing a group photo on Instagram and thanking them for attending.
Cooper and Hadid are also quietly becoming the ultimate low-key couple goals this fall. They were spotted out in New York City on November 11, rocking perfectly coordinated outfits that just scream “effortlessly cool.”Bradley went with a red T-shirt and carried a white sweater, while Gigi wore a white tank top with a red sweater casually tied around her shoulders. It’s like they’re matching without trying too hard – just a whole vibe.
This isn’t the first time they’ve been seen together in New York, but it’s definitely the clearest example of their style being thought out as a unit. Back in February, they were seen in earthy tones, perhaps going for a more understated, relaxed look that – not now.
The two seemed to have started dating in October 2023, but they’ve largely kept things private. When Gigi walked in the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, she shared a little bit about Bradley not being able to make it to the event, saying,“He’s watching from home tonight. He’s on dad duty but so supportive.” She added that she had friends cheering her on from the crowd instead. Cooper, of course, is a dad to his daughter, Lea, whom he co-parents with his ex, Irina Shayk (who also happened to be walking in the show!).
An insider alsospilled back in Julythat what started as a casual fling has now grown into a“full-blown relationship,”and Gigi’s“very happy.”Even with their packed schedules, they’re finding time to spend together and are just enjoying each other’s company.
So, while Gigi and Bradley might not show their romance in an over-the-top fashion, they’re clearly loving their time together – and they’re giving us major style inspiration along the way. They may not be Instagram-official or red-carpet debut-ready, but from subtle outfit coordination to weekend getaways, the romance between Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper seems to be taking its natural course.
