Gigi Hadid was open for the first time about her friend Bradley Cooper and called their relationship ‘very romantic and happy’.
In an interview with Vogue that was published on Tuesday, we learned a few things about the romance of Hadid and Cooper. The 29-year-old model calls him ‘Bradley’. They have been dating for more than a year. The superstars met in a very normal way: by a mutual friend at a child’s birthday party.
“I just think that knowing what you want and earns in a relationship is essential,” said Hadid. “Then to find someone who is in a place in their lives where they know what they want and deserve … and you both work separately to come together and be the best partner you can be. I just feel really happiness.”

Hadid and Cooper are both parents. She shares a 4-year-old daughter, Khai, with her ex-boyfriend, Zayn Malik. Cooper is the father of a daughter, Lea, who turns 8 later this month and whose mother is the model Irina Shayk. Hadid told the magazine that she does not think that her relationship with the 50-year-old Oscar-nominated actor would have happened earlier in her life.
“I respect him so much as a creative,” she said, “and I feel that he gives me so much: encouragement and, simply, believe. For those people you admire to encourage you, can it create so much belief in yourself. Like, what is the worst if I have audition?
Cooper and Hadid do not hide their relationship – they have nights in abundance with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce – but she said there are aspects of their lives that they do not want “for whatever reason”. The irony is not lost to her that they met in such a traditional setting.
“You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating,” Hadid explained, “and even for my friends who are not public figures, that’s difficult. Where are you going? And what? You just start talking to people? And then there is a added layer of privacy and safety. You want people to have your back and don’t go on Deuxmo or you don’t know.”
Regarding the stories that end up in the press through nameless ‘sources’, Hadid said that the information that comes out of it is ‘a kind of good and a bit wrong’. However, she says that she is trying to “let it go; you can’t always correct everything.”
That also goes for her feelings towards her ex. Although her six-year romance with Malik came to a tumultuous end, she described their co-parenting partnership as one of ‘love and a feeling of companionship’.
“Knowing the difficult part of the world so much, And thinking that they know everything, “she said, maybe referring to the incident in 2021 between the singer and her mother, Yolanda Hadid.” And at the end of the day we are not interested in giving everyone our whole story. What we are interested in can be brought together our daughter, with so much respect for each other, and not only as co-livers, but what we have experienced together. “
