igi Hadid has officially moved past her “no dating” phase. The supermodel, known for her impeccable style and high-profile relationships, is embracing romance once again—this time with Hollywood heavyweight Bradley Cooper.
From Cryptic Messages to a Blossoming Romance
A few years ago, Hadid subtly hinted at her dating hiatus by posting a photo of an elderly woman holding a sign that read, “Dating Advice: Don’t.” Naturally, fans speculated that the message reflected her own perspective on relationships. However, everything changed when she crossed paths with Bradley Cooper, sparking a love story that has now captured the internet’s attention.
Hadid, 29, and Cooper, 50, were first spotted together in New York over a year and a half ago. Initially, their outings appeared to be platonic, but sightings of them holding hands in London, celebrating Valentine’s Day, and sharing intimate dinners confirmed their romantic connection.
What Makes Their Bond Special?
Hadid recently opened up about her relationship with Cooper in an interview with Vogue. She praised the Maestro director for his support, stating, “I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and belief.” Their connection, she explained, has empowered her to take bold leaps in her career and personal life.
The couple’s love story began at a mutual friend’s child’s birthday party, where they instantly clicked. Hadid shared that reaching a point in life where she truly understands what she wants and deserves in a relationship played a significant role in their compatibility. “To find someone who is also at that stage in life makes all the difference,” she added.
The Leonardo DiCaprio & Irina Shayk Factor
Hadid’s past relationships, including her brief romance with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2022, fueled public speculation about her love life. Coincidentally, Cooper’s ex, Irina Shayk, remains a close part of his life as they co-parent their 7-year-old daughter, Lea. Despite their break-up in 2019, Cooper and Shayk maintain a friendly relationship, making their blended family dynamic work seamlessly.
Meanwhile, Hadid shares a 4-year-old daughter, Khai, with her ex, Zayn Malik. Interestingly, Malik now resides on a farm in Pennsylvania—ironically, Cooper’s home state. Though these connections may seem coincidental, they undoubtedly make for an interesting love map.
A Relationship Kept Under Wraps
Unlike her past relationships, Hadid is keeping this romance relatively private. While the couple has been spotted together at various events, Hadid made it clear that sharing their love on social media isn’t a priority. “It’s just not part of our relationship to share for whatever reason,” she told Vogue.
Cooper, too, is known for keeping his personal life out of the spotlight. Despite their low-key approach, the pair has been seen enjoying Broadway shows, jet-setting to Italy, and spending quality time together in Venice Beach, California.
Looking Ahead
As their relationship continues to evolve, fans are eager to see what’s next for Hadid and Cooper. Whether they’ll make more public appearances or continue to enjoy their love story behind the scenes remains to be seen. In the meantime, their journey serves as a testament to finding love when the timing—and the person—is just right.
