Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are thriving in the contemporary realm, their spirits bright in this modern world. The 50-year-old actor, renowned for his role in "A Star is Born," and the 30-year-old model, embarked on a joint journey, captured strolling through New York's John F. Kennedy airport on August 23. Snapshots released by People magazine depicted the duo adopting a laid-back attire, with Bradley donning a black hoodie, a backpack slung across his shoulder, a baseball cap perched atop his head, and headphones draped around his neck, while Gigi sported a pink cardigan, her hair half-tied back in a charming fashion.
Their recent travels marked the culmination of a romantic summer spent together, highlighted by an enchanting Parisian evening during fashion week. Although Gigi, mother to 4-year-old Khai with her ex-partner Zayn Malik, and Bradley, father to 8-year-old Lea with ex-partner Irina Shayk, kept their blossoming romance under wraps for some time after their public link-up in October 2023, Gigi recently shed light on their dynamic in an interview with Vogue.
"I hold immense respect for him as a creative genius," Gigi revealed in March. "He bestows upon me an abundance of encouragement and unwavering belief. When the people you admire lift you up, it instills a profound sense of self-confidence within you. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen if I audition for something? You just take the plunge."
After her 2021 separation from Zayn, Gigi confessed that navigating the dating scene under the public gaze was a daunting task. "Where do you even begin? Do you just strike up conversations with strangers?" she recounted pondering. "And then there’s the additional layer of privacy and security concerns."
Hence, when fate brought her and Bradley together at a mutual friend's child's birthday party, it felt serendipitous. "I truly feel so fortunate," she expressed. And her fortune was doubled by the fact that both were ready to embark on a romantic journey at that juncture.
"Reaching a point where you know precisely what you want and deserve in a relationship is pivotal," Gigi emphasized. "And then to find someone who is at a similar juncture in their life, understanding their own desires and worth…and both of you putting in individual efforts to come together and be the best partners you can be—it’s magical."
