Gigi Hadid says Bradley Cooper has brought 'romance and happiness' into her life
Gig Hadid, 29, and Bradley Cooper, 50, first met at a backyard birthday party for the child of a mutual friend.
The couple has been together since late 2023 and have kept their relationship mostly private.
"Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life,” Hadid said, describing their relationship as “very romantic and happy.”
Hadid spoke about the challenges of dating as a public figure and the difficulties of maintaining privacy.
“You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating,” Hadid told Vogue. “And even for my friends who aren’t public figures, that’s hard," she added.
"Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people? And then there’s another added layer of privacy and security," Hadid continued.
"You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deuxmoi or whatever, but you just don’t know," she added.

Gigi Hadid said that keeping their romance private is important to her.
“It’s just not part of our relationship to share for whatever reason,” Hadid said.
“I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential," she added.
She continued, "And then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve…and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be,” according to New York Post.
“I just feel really lucky,” Hadid said, adding “Yeah, lucky’s the word.”
She further expressed her gratitude for Cooper's support.
“I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief,” Hadid added.
Gigi Hadid says she and Zayn Malik have 'love and a feeling of camaraderie'
Gigi Hadid also discussed co-parenting with her ex-boyfriend, Zayn Malik, with whom she shares a four-year-old daughter, Khai.
“Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,” Hadid said.
“That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other’s backs," Hadid admitted.
She said they have “love, and a feeling of camaraderie" for each other.
Hadid also said they have "so much respect for each other," not just as co-parents but for what they have been through together.
“There is the hard part of the world knowing this much, and thinking they know everything,” Hadid said.
She said at the end of the day, "we’re not interested in giving everyone our whole story. What we are interested in is raising our daughter together, with so much respect for each other and not just as co-parents, but what we’ve been through together.”
Hadid and Malik began dating in 2015 and ended their relationship in 2021 after Malik got into a physical altercation with Hadid’s mother, Yolanda Hadid.
