Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid 'itching' to introduce their children as 'they plan a future together'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid want to take their relationship a notch higher as they are reportedly “itching” to introduce their respective children to each other. 

After first speculating a romance rumor in October 2023, the 28-year-old supermodel and the ‘American Sniper’ star have appeared a few times together for dinner dates in the past.

Recently, the pair were seen enjoying a cozy dinner date on March 22 in New York City. Earlier, on March 14, the 49-year-old Hollywood star and Hadid were photographed sharing a PDA-filled moment during an outing with friends on the occasion of Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski’s birthday.

As a recent development in their relationship, a source close to the duo now shares that Hadid and Cooper are now interested in introducing their respective daughters to each other.

While Cooper shares his daughter Lea De Seine, seven, with his ex Irina Shayk, Hadid is the proud mother to her three-year-old daughter Khai whom she shares with Zayn Malik. 

The insider recently shared with a news outlet per OK! Magazine, "Their kids are their first priority, and they’re itching to see if they can successfully blend their families as they plan a future together.”

The source explained that since young girls tend to form attachments quite easily, Cooper and Hadid - both parents to one daughter each - likely want to give serious consideration before introducing Lea and Khai.

"They’re having serious discussions, since at their ages, girls get attached very easily,” explained the mole.

They continued, "They don’t want to see the girls hit it off only to pull the rug out from under them if their relationship doesn’t work out."

Recently, the ‘Maestro’ actor and the model were seen at the popular Italian restaurant Cucina Alba in New York City for a dinner date on March 22. 

A few days earlier, they were photographed kissing each other as they were enjoying their outing celebrating Porowski’s birthday.

During the same time, a source close to the couple shared with PEOPLE that Hadid was “having fun” with the actor and they were enjoying their time together. The mole also revealed that the model had "had sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while." 

The source shared, “[They have] things in common so it’s possible to see it progress," before adding, “It appears super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles. It’s cute… and there is an attraction.”

Previously another tipster added per OK! Magazine, "Gigi and Bradley are actually getting quite serious," and continued, "Obviously, they’re both super busy, but they really go out of their way to make time to see each other."

Previously it was reported that though the actor did not bring Hadid as his date for the 2024 Golden Globes, the duo were seen frolicking together later at a night out at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles. 

A source spilled to PEOPLE during that time, "They were with a group of friends and all had fun. Bradley and Gigi looked happy together.”

"They weren’t overly affectionate, but it was still obvious that they are dating. There were lots of loving glances and flirting,” continued the source.
