Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have officially re-branded their relationship from low-key lovers to certified couple after a celebratory post sealed their partnership with a kiss.
Pap shots of the coordinated couple heading into Gigi’s milestone birthday party went a long way to silencing any previous dating speculation – but the private pair making their Instagram debut? That wasn’t exactly something we thought we’d have the pleasure of ticking off our 2025 romance bingo list. Yet here we are.
Keen to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, both Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have been tight lipped about their supposed status since dating rumours first started circling in October 2023. So what is it about this couple that has us so intrigued?
There’s the fact that they’re both parents, sure. And a history of high-profile partnerships that have kept us on the hook over the years. There’s also no denying there’s an age gap factor that certainly scratches a part of the internet’s brain. Whatever’s behind the buzz, we can’t get enough of the Hollywood darlings and their dating life – and this latest update has just added fuel to the fandom’s fire.
So in celebration of their digital debut, we’re diving into their love story from past to present.
May 3, 2025: The Couple Become Instagram Official
Celebrating a milestone birthday is a big deal, especially when it involves the start of a new decade. So it’s only natural that Gigi would choose to usher in her 30th year surrounded by those closest to her – including, but not limited to – her actor beau, Bradley Cooper.
Swiping through the series of sweet shots posted to the model’s personal grid, followers could be forgiven for thinking her party post was just a simple throwback to a night well-spent. But lucky for us, it was so much more. For buried in that carousel was the confirmation Cooper/Hadid stans had been hoping for – a loved-up look inside the couple’s budding romance.
“I feel so lucky to be 30! I feel so lucky for every high and low – for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all! i’m so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!!!” Hadid captioned the post.
A delicious way to ring in a 30th if we ever saw one – and we’re not just talking about the cake.
January 19, 2025: Cheering On The Philadelphia Eagles
We have football fans to thank for sharing snaps of Hadid and Cooper at an early year NFL game between the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles.
The quiet couple was spotted cheering from the sidelines while repping Eagles team colours, with Cooper clearly in a celebratory mood, and maybe not just because his team was leading the play.
Perhaps proving the pair were in for a sporting chance at long-lasting love, their game day gathering came just days after People published a story citing sources that claimed Cooper and Hadid were “serious.”
“Neither are looking to rush anything, but that’s not to say they’re not very happy together.”
The source also revealed that both Hadid and Cooper’s “families spend time together, and so do their kids. It’s very sweet.”
November 11, 2024: Couple Coordinating In NYC
They say that couples who dress together, stay together – or at least we do. Case in point, the classic combination worn by Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid on their casual stroll through the streets of NYC.
Giving off major all-American vibes, these two looked as relaxed as can be, taking in the sights with matching blue jeans and a pop of fiery red – perhaps an indication of their relationship hotting up? Who’s to say. But their similar attire certainly points to a simpatico sense of style that can only prove beneficial long-term (hello shared closets).
The sighting came just a month after sources close to the couple told Entertainment Tonight: “Gigi is in love with Bradley, and they’re very happy together.”
“Gigi and Bradley are both committed parents and they have connected deeply about this. They have a strong bond with their daughters and they are at the forefront of everything they do,” the source added.
November 11, 2024: They Support Alyssa Milano Backstage
It was dinner and a show for Cooper and Hadid, who made an appearance backstage in support of actress Alyssa Milano, who was playing Roxie Hart in Chicago The Musical.
In a post shared by the blockbuster-turned-Broadway star, the low-key couple stood alongside Milano, who captioned the post: “Bradley, Gigi, Erinn, Michelle-and so many more than I don’t have pictures with. Thank you to all who came out to see me in @chicagomusical tonight… My heart is so full.”
October 15, 2024: Gigi Gets Candid At Victoria’s Secret Show
In the lead up to the big Victoria’s Secret return, Gigi Hadid shared some choice quotes about her rumoured beau, in a candid interview with Entertainment Tonight.
When they asked the model if she was expecting to see any familiar faces in the crowd for the much-anticipated event, she responded, casually, that Cooper would be supporting her from afar.
“He’s watching from home tonight,” she said. “He’s on dad duty, but so supportive.”
The model was referring to Cooper’s daughter Lea, whom he co-parents with his ex-partner, and fellow Victoria’s Secret model, Irina Shayk.
May 13, 2024: Spotted At Taylor Swift
It was a couples’ night out during Taylor’s Paris show, with Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, joining Swift’s partner Travis Kelce, in support of the singer.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the trio enjoying the set, even dancing through her Reputation era songs without skipping a beat.
October 8, 2023: A Couple’s Retreat
Photographed driving into New York City, the then-rumoured couple were seen returning from a weekend away – or so their light luggage would suggest.
At the time, the rumour mill was rife with speculation that the burgeoning couple were testing the relationship waters by hiding out at none other than Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island getaway.
And if that’s not a perfect way to start a new romance, than we don’t know what is.
How Did Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper Meet?
Just when you thought Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk’s co-parenting relationship couldn’t get any healthier, it turns out that Cooper’s ex played a fairly significant part his new romance.
The pair, who called it quits in 2019, have been nothing but supportive of one another over the years, and reports of Shayk playing matchmaker seem to confirm it.
“Gigi was introduced to Bradley through Irina [Shayk] and their mutual friends in the industry,” a source reportedly told Page Six at the time.
“Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have hung out before, but it has always been friendly in social settings,” the source added, before explaining that the pair bonded “over their daughters, when Bradley asked her out.”

While their romantic relationship wasn’t to last – they called it quits after five years together in late 2021 – they have been focusing on co-parenting their daughter, Khai, 4, ever since.
“There is the hard part of the world knowing this much, and thinking they know everything,” Hadid revealed in recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
“At the end of the day, we’re not interested in giving everyone our whole story. What we are interested in is raising our daughter together, with so much respect for each other, and not just as co-parents, but what we’ve been through together.”
