Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper Spark Romance Rumors

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have sparked romance rumors after being spotted together in New York City. Page Six shared photos of the pair riding in an SUV together. They had reported just returned from a weekend getaway.

Sources who spoke to PEOPLE revealed that Hadid, 28, and Cooper, 48, are just “having fun” right now. “She’s independent, busy, and her days are filled with responsibilities,” the source continued, “so I don’t see anything serious happening right away if at all.” The insider went on to note that Hadid has “had sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while” and could potentially be interested in a relationship with the actor. “[They have] things in common so it’s possible to see it progress,” the source explained. “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.”

Interestingly, Cooper was previously spotted at the beach with his ex, Irina Shayk. TMZ reported that the model took to Instagram to share some vacation photos, revealing that she spent some time on the water with Cooper. She also included a picture of herself posing topless on a rock formation.

Shayk and Cooper were together from 2015 until 2019. Prior to that, she famously dated superstar soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo for five years, but that relationship ended in Jan. 2015. It wasn’t long after that she and Cooper went public with their relationship. They moved in together in the fall of that same year and their daughter Lea de Seine was born in Los Angeles, California in March 2017.

While Shayk had not been previously married, Cooper had. In 2006 he married actress Jennifer Esposito. The couple had only been husband and wife for five months when they filed for divorce. “It was just something that happened. The good thing is, we both realized it. Sometimes you just realize it,” Cooper later explained. Before eventually meeting and dating Shayk, Cooper was also romantically linked to Renée Zellweger, Zoe Saldana, and model Suki Waterhouse.

Following their breakup in 2019, Cooper and Shayk split custody of their daughter. The pair have not spoken much publicly about their relationship or split, but are reportedly committed to keeping their relationship “civil” for the sake of their child. According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly, “They both work and have a nanny. They’ll coordinate to make sure their daughter is always with one parent. When Lea has important events in her life, both Bradley and Irina will be there.”

“They both want to keep it civil for [her] sake,” the source also said. They later added, “It was obvious their romantic relationship was over. They’ve been co-parenting and doing things the way they intended to continue after splitting up.”
