THE RUNDOWN
- Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have been rumoured to be dating since 2023, but went Instagram official in 2025.
- Hadid and Cooper were most recently seen looking loved-up at the 2026 Met Gala.
- Hadid’s daughter Khai and Cooper’s daughter Lea reportedly get along well.
- The pair were spotted wearing matching wedding bands in Paris in August 2026.
Hollywood certainly has its fair share of surprises up its sleeve, especially when it comes to celebrities’ relationships. So, when it hit the news that Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper were dating, we were all screaming.
Even though Gigi Hadid didn’t arrive at the 2026 Met Gala with her man – avoiding the ‘Met Gala curse’ like Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian – she was caught kissing him during the fundraiser and gave him and her daughter, Khai, a special shout-out in red carpet interviews.
After being asked about what keeps the model focused in front of the camera, Hadid replied that thinking of Khai and Cooper is what keeps her grounded on different emotions.
“When I think about Khai, maybe I’m giving joy,” she said to Vogue. “And then I’ll serve something else to Bradley for the camera.”
Now that’s adorable.
In recent news, when the Hollywood pair were spotted strolling along the cobblestone streets of Paris in August 2026, WHO spotted a simple ring on both of the stars’ left hands (and on *that* finger, of course). Since these pictures were released, secret engagement rumours have been sparked and are not looking to die down anytime soon.
As the internet rightfully freaks out about this new development, read on to learn all about their romance, from how they met to everything in between.
Did Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper secretly get engaged?
After the pair’s loved-up Met Gala sighting and the multiple paparazzi shots since, rumours spread earlier in the year that the pair were considering marriage pretty soon.
In 2025, a source shared to Page Six that Bradley is “considering marriage and kids with Gigi.”
“He might pop the question in the next couple of months,” they added.
At the start of August 2026, the couple were spotted holding hands on the streets of Paris, with paparazzi noticing a band wrapped around each of the stars’ wedding fingers.
While the couple are yet to confirm this clue as signs of a secret engagement, the rumour mill has definitely taken over with new pictures being released by the day.

How did Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper meet?
In October 2023, reports first emerged that Gigi and Bradley Cooper were casually dating after Bradley’s ex, Irina Shayk, introduced the pair.
The couple was first photographed enjoying dinner together on October 5 in NYC and the following weekend, they were photographed returning from a trip together.
Despite neither Gigi nor Bradley making any comment on the initial sighting, in January 2024, the couple seemingly confirmed their relationship after photos shared by People showed Gigi and Bradley holding hands while walking through the city.
After two years of dating, Gigi Hadid took to Instagram to share a collection of photos from her 30th birthday, which included a photo of the pair kissing, marking the first time the pair acknowledged their relationship.
What has Gigi Hadid said about Bradley Cooper?
Almost two years after their romance first made headlines, Gigi opened up about her relationship with the 50-year-old actor for the first time, telling Vogue, “Bradley has opened me up to going to the theatre more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life.”
Gigi also revealed that despite their high-profile lifestyle, the couple first crossed paths in a mutual friend’s backyard while attending a children’s birthday party.
“You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating, and even for my friends who aren’t public figures, that’s hard. Where do you go?… You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deux Moi or whatever, but you just don’t know.”
While she did not share too much about the early days of their relationship, Gigi added that their partnership was “very romantic and happy.”
“I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential, 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. I just feel really lucky. Yeah, lucky’s the word.”
What is the age gap between Gigi and Bradley?
The age gap is 20 years, with Gigi currently 30 and Bradley being 50.
Does Bradley Cooper have children?
Yes, Bradley Cooper has one daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, whom he shares with model Irina Shayk.
The pair welcomed Lea in March 2017 and while Bradley and Irina have since split, they remain friendly co-parents, often spotted together on family outings with their daughter.
With both Gigi and Bradley each having a daughter, the Daily Mail reported that they’ve both become key figures in their daughters’ lives.
“Gigi treats Bradley’s daughter, Lea, as if she were her own,” the source shared, and “Lea sees Gigi as a mother figure in return. Irina [Shayk] fully supports their close bond.”
“Lea has also become like a big sister to Khai, and the two girls share a strong relationship,” the source continued. “Khai has grown up with Bradley and Lea as a regular part of her life, and she sees Bradley as a father figure—something Zayn supports as well.”
