According to the Daily Mail, Cooper shared that he needed to rush to his daughter's school urgently to administer a specific medicine that the school was not authorized to handle. He stated, "I have to apply something that they won't allow."

The details of Lea's condition and the medicine required remain undisclosed.

The relationship between Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid is reportedly becoming more serious, according to a source close to the couple. The 48-year-old Maestro actor-director and the 28-year-old model are said to be spending quality time together, with Gigi even visiting Cooper in Philadelphia.

Sources reveal that the couple initially kept their relationship low-key, dating privately for several months before going public. They recently enjoyed a low-key date night in a private room at a local restaurant in Philadelphia.

The romance rumors started circulating when the pair was spotted having dinner at Via Carota in New York City's West Village in October. Despite their busy lives and demanding careers, the couple seems to be navigating their relationship well.

“It appears super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles,” the source added. “It’s cute … and there is an attraction.”
