Gigi Hadid shares rare insight into relationship with Bradley Cooper

Gigi Hadid shared a very rare photo of boyfriend Bradley Cooper, as he appeared to support the model as she walked in Paris Fashion Week, days after celebrating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

The 31-year-old supermodel posted photos with the caption “joy+jetlag” to her 73.7 million Instagram followers on Friday, July10, and many followers believed the last photo in the carousel looked Bradley, 51. Gigi and Bradley jetted off to Paris after attending their friends’ wedding at Madison Square Garden.

The last snapshot was of Gigi wearing a navy blue baseball hat leaning her shoulder against a man’s shoulder. While his back was to the camera, it appeared to be Bradley.

Fans loved the insight into the couple’s private relationship. One person commented: “Bradley is here guys.” Another fan wrote: “Love you and Bradley together.”

Meanwhile, Gigi’s friend Kacey Musgraves ignored the man and instead focused on the model. “How do you keep getting hotter? It’s criminal, ma’am,” she commented on the post.

Inside Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid’s blended family

The couple, who were first romantically linked in October 2023, have reportedly introduced their daughters, Lea De Seine, 7, and Khai Malik, 3, to one another. According to People, the two little ones enjoy spending time together, a heartwarming sign of how seamlessly the families are coming together.

Bradley shares his only child, Lea, with his former partner, Irina Shayk. Gigi co-parents her daughter Khai with her ex-boyfriend, Zayn Malik. 

Interestingly, Irina played a key role in bringing Bradley and Gigi together, having introduced them two years after her relationship with the A Star is Born actor ended in 2019.

The couple’s romance started quietly, with their first public outing being a dinner date in New York City.  Since then, they’ve kept their relationship relatively low-key but have been spotted enjoying each other’s company on multiple occasions.

Their commitment to supporting one another is evident. As Gigi prepared for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in late 2024, she revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Bradley was cheering her on, albeit from afar. “He is on dad duty but so supportive,” she said, giving a glimpse into how the couple balances their busy lives.

For Bradley, fatherhood has been a transformative journey. During a recent appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard, the Maestro actor opened up about how becoming a dad to Lea in 2017 changed his perspective on life. “Honestly, I’m not sure I’d be alive if I wasn’t a dad,” he admitted. “I don’t know what would have happened. I am not sure.”

Now, he describes fatherhood as not only fulfilling but also grounding, providing him with a sense of purpose he hadn’t felt before.”I can just feel the safety that she feels. It’s so tangible; it’s palpable. That is so fulfilling.”

Gigi, too, has embraced the joys and challenges of motherhood since welcoming Khai in 2020. Despite their separation, Gigi and Zayn have maintained a co-parenting relationship to ensure the best for their daughter.

Gigi has shared Father’s Day tributes and birthday tributes to Zayn, naming him “Khai’s baba”, evidence that the pair have put the past behind them and focus on their daughter.
