A Blossoming Relationship
Hadid and Cooper’s relationship began in October 2023, when they were first spotted sharing a meal at Via Carota in New York City. Their connection has since deepened, with both finding common ground in their shared experiences under the public eye and as parents. Cooper is a father to 7-year-old daughter Lea De Seine, whom he shares with ex-partner Irina Shayk, while Hadid is mother to 4-year-old Khai, her daughter with ex Zayn Malik.
Shared Interests and Personal Growth
Hadid credits Cooper with expanding her creative horizons, particularly by introducing her to the theater. She expressed gratitude for his support and encouragement in her artistic pursuits, stating, “Bradley has opened me up to going to the theatre more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life.” This newfound interest has not only enriched her personal life but also inspired her professionally.
Navigating Public Life and Privacy
The couple’s high-profile status presents challenges in maintaining privacy. Hadid acknowledged the difficulties of dating as a public figure, mentioning that it is challenging “even for my friends who aren’t public figures.” She emphasized the importance of knowing what one wants in a relationship and finding a partner who aligns with those values. Hadid feels fortunate to have found such a connection with Cooper, stating, “I just feel really lucky.”
Mutual Respect and Support
Hadid holds deep respect for Cooper’s creativity and values the encouragement he provides. She noted, “I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief.” This mutual support has bolstered her self-confidence and willingness to take artistic risks.
Co-Parenting and Family Dynamics
Both Hadid and Cooper prioritize their roles as parents. Hadid shares daughter Khai with ex-partner Zayn Malik, and despite their separation, they maintain a respectful co-parenting relationship. Cooper co-parents his daughter Lea with ex Irina Shayk. Their shared understanding of parenthood adds depth to their relationship, creating a supportive and nurturing environment for their children.
Public Appearances and Future Prospects
The couple has been relatively private but has made select public appearances, sparking interest and speculation. Despite their serious relationship, they are not in a rush to get engaged. Their families, including their children, spend time together, creating a supportive and happy dynamic.
Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper’s relationship exemplifies a partnership built on mutual respect, shared interests, and personal growth.
