Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid continue to nurture their romance throughout 2024, maintaining a connection that has grown since last fall. The couple has recently been seen traveling together and enjoying shared moments, highlighting the ongoing strength of their relationship.
On August 23, the pair were spotted at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport, dressed casually as they prepared for their next journey. Throughout the summer, their romance has included memorable experiences, such as a date night in Paris during fashion week. Gigi, mother to 4-year-old daughter Khai with former partner Zayn Malik, and Bradley, who shares an 8-year-old daughter Lea with ex Irina Shayk, have gradually opened up about their relationship, revealing deep mutual respect and support.
How Their Relationship Began and Developed
Rumors first sparked in October 2023 when Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid were seen dining with friends at Via Carota, an Italian restaurant in New York City. The following month, the couple appeared together again at the off-Broadway play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, and Bradley joined Gigi for a girl’s night dinner along with celebrities like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. These early outings hinted at a growing bond between the two.
By January 2024, they had taken a significant step by introducing each other to their parents. Gigi attended dinner with Bradley and his mother, Gloria Campano, at the renowned Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Los Angeles shortly after the Golden Globes. This gesture underscored the seriousness of their relationship as they continued to spend quality time together privately and publicly.
Public Confirmation and Continued Affection
The couple made their relationship official by holding hands during a London outing on January 25, 2024. Celebrating Valentine’s Day in New York City, they were seen arm-in-arm, coordinated in matching outfits that showcased their growing closeness. Bradley’s supportive presence was evident during visits to Gigi’s fashion boutique later that month, revealing a relationship rooted in partnership and mutual encouragement.
In March 2024, Bradley and Gigi displayed their affection openly while dining once again at Via Carota, joined by friends Antoni Porowski and Tan France, the latter being Gigi’s co-host on Next in Fashion. Their affection continued to flourish with outings like a Broadway date night to see Sweeney Todd, where they met cast member Joanna Carpenter backstage, blending their personal lives with cultural experiences.
Insights Into Their Relationship
Gigi shared candid thoughts about their connection during a Vogue interview in March, emphasizing the creative and emotional support Bradley provides. She said,
I respect him so much as a creative,
and added,
I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief. For those people you admire to encourage you, it can create so much belief in yourself. Like, what’s the worst thing if I auditioned for this? You jump and take the leap.
Reflecting on the challenges of dating under public scrutiny after her 2021 split from Zayn Malik, Gigi also explained the difficulty of starting new relationships with concerns of privacy and security.
Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people?
she recalled.
And then there’s another added layer of privacy and security.
Meeting Bradley at a mutual friend’s child’s birthday party felt serendipitous. Gigi expressed, I just feel really lucky that they both were ready to explore a relationship at that point. She emphasized the importance of clarity in relationships, stating,
I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential,
and,
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.
Shared Interests and Experiences in 2024
As 2024 progressed, the couple bonded over cultural activities, especially theater, which has become a shared passion. Gigi noted in an April Vogue feature that Bradley introduced her to theater experiences, including seeing Alyssa Milano in the musical Chicago. She reflected,
Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more,
adding,
and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life.
By late 2024, New York City remained a favored destination for the couple. More than a year after their initial public appearance there, they enjoyed a strolling visit through the NoHo neighborhood, embracing the city’s vibrancy and history as part of their ongoing relationship story.
What Their Relationship Means Moving Forward
Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid’s romance demonstrates a blend of resilience, mutual respect, and evolving companionship, which has grown steadily despite the pressures of their public lives. Their ability to balance privacy with moments shared in the spotlight points to a relationship grounded in understanding and genuine connection. As they continue to navigate life together, their partnership reflects hopeful potential for longevity amid the challenges of fame and parenthood.
