Bradley Cooper & Gigi Hadid are ‘having fun together’ but is it just ‘Maestro’ promo??

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid appear to be dating. They were seen together late last week, in what appeared to be a dinner date at Via Carota in New York (they both live in NYC). He’s 48, she’s 28. Both are single parents with somewhat complicated co-parenting situations. He’s from the Philly suburbs, she has a country home in Northern Pennsylvania where she rides horses. I still don’t know what they could talk about, honestly, but here we are. It appears that B-Coop and Gigi spent the weekend together.

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid were spotted together in the Big Apple once again. Three days after they were spotted leaving dinner in New York City, the two were photographed on Sunday riding in the same car, with Cooper, 48, behind the wheel. Supermodel Hadid, 28, could be seen in dark jeans and a cream-colored sweater as she was photographed exiting the vehicle in another image.

The Maestro actor/director sported jeans, a T-shirt and baseball cap as he was photographed carrying a duffel bag and wearing a backpack.

At first, Gigi’s people weren’t talking and neither were Cooper’s. Then something changed by Monday evening, and People Mag had this exclusive:

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are “having fun” together. After the model and the Maestro star were spotted together in New York City twice in the last several days, a source tells PEOPLE the two are enjoying getting to know each other but are keeping things casual for now.

“They are having fun,” the source says. “She’s independent, busy, and her days are filled with responsibilities so I don’t see anything serious happening right away if at all.”

However, the insider reveals that Hadid, 28, has “had sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while” and might be open to exploring more than friendship with the actor, 48.

“[They have] things in common so it’s possible to see it progress,” the source continues. “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.”

The source adds that Hadid — in addition to modeling, working on her fashion line and raising her 3-year-old daughter, Khai — has an interest in doing some acting, which could be a point of connection for her and Cooper.

My question: does Gigi have a bad picker? I’m really asking because I can’t decide. While it ended so badly, I sort of understood why Gigi and Zayn Malik made sense together at the time, although I always thought she was more into him than he was into her. Post-Zayn, she’s dated utter randos, then Leo DiCaprio and now Bradley Cooper.

I’ve also started to develop a theory that this is all some “undercover promotion” on Bradley’s part – his offensive prosthetic nose will be seen in Maestro in December, a film where he directed himself playing Leonard Bernstein. No one knows when the SAG-AFTRA strike will end and Maestro doesn’t have a SAG-AFTRA waiver. So he’s doing what he can to keep his name out there. I like my theory!!

    I just can’t with the fake nose.

    Gigi can do better.

      Same. I can’t with the nose. It’s hard to even look at the pics as @chaine says below. Am going to assume the black and white photography of the film will somewhat blunt the effect. Maybe? But man it’s bad.

  2. Chaine says:

    Between the glaringly fake nose and the awful “aging” makeup and the high waist pants I can barely look at him, clowney

  3. Twin Falls says:

    Maybe she is too busy to date anyone who isn’t also busy with their own life. Men can be so needy.

    They both have young daughters. If you’ve never been a single (as in not partnered up) parent, I don’t think you’d understand how nice it is to talk about your kid with someone who can relate. Not saying that means this is a legit relationship but that is an instant point of relatability.

    In my opinion, we only have one data point for Gigi. Zayn has a lot of problems. I don’t think that’s enough for a pattern.

    Based on Leo and now Bradley, what I’d mainly conclude is that she’s now available to publicists to pair with their single, middle-aged male clients who want to try to look a bit less like a cliche or a bit younger and fresher.

    • Holz says:

      This!! I had a feeling her ‘dating’ Leo was a PR stunt to show him dating someone barely over 25, and now this BCoop pairing confirms my theory!!

    I think this is movie promo. He couldn’t repeat the Lady Gaga charade with Maestro co-star Carey Mulligan because she’s happily married to Mumford and very recently gave birth to their third child, so Cooper found someone else to play a role.

    Ugh, Gigi is so sweet and goofy on Next In Fashion, I have a soft spot for her (which is compounded by her parenting with an unstable coparent and dealing with the Original Almond Mom™️.) Plus that interview that was covered here some months back where she was talking about all of her ambitions beyond modeling sounded like she wants to live a quiet life with her kiddo and her animals in her comfy clothes. Anyway. She pings my sympathy meter!

    I hope if they are “situationing” or if it’s just promo for his projects that she’s enjoying herself. A 20 year age gap is a big deal regardless of the parties’ respective ages. I’m almost B-Coop’s age and I have never just wanted to stay home and be comfortable more than I do these days, lol. Although maybe that suits her if she prefers a quieter social life, too.

    I’m sorry but Cooper is extremely annoying when awards season is upon us. Wasn’t there supposed to be Joker 2 coming out as well ? I don’t think we will survive Cooper’s and Gaga’s campaigns if the strike ends.

  8. AnneL says:

    I was reading how Cooper had to get up super early during filming Maestro so they could do all of his makeup and prosthetics. No sympathy. If you didn’t want to do it, you could have ditched the ridiculous and unnecessary “Jewish Nose!”

    I’m Jewish and pretty traumatized about what is happening in Israel right now, and by how some people are openly celebrating it. I honestly think seeing that picture of him with the nose triggered me.
