Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid, the new bombshell couple

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are the newest high-profile couple in Hollywood after making a public appearance together.

The Hangover actor, 49, and Hadid, 28, have been spotted on the streets of London holding hands while they enjoyed a day out in the British capital.

Reports began to surface about their romance when Irina Shayk, the actor’s former partner, introduced the pair. The fact the new couple both have young daughters of a similar age has also brought them closer together.

Cooper’s daughter, Lea, six, appears in the feature film ‘Maestro’ alongside her father. Model Hadid shares her daughter, Khai, with Zayn Malik, with whom she was in a six-year relationship and ended up separating from following allegations of abuse.

An end to months of speculation

Since October, it has been rumored that Cooper and Hadid have been exploring a romantic relationship together, although it had not been confirmed as public knowledge until now.

In recent weeks, in addition to their walk in London which sent social media into overdrive, they have also been caught taking a quick stroll in New York, in the same city where they were seen for the first time.

Cooper and Hadid were spotted having lunch in West Village, New York City, and media outlets were quick to speculate about their encounter.

There have been other situations where suspicions have grown, from dinners where they have shared a table together to images of the two at the same location being published on social media.

However, the one event which blew their cover was a meal between the Cooper, Hadid and her mother after the celebration of the 2024 Golden Globes.

It was the final piece in the puzzle to help the paparazzi confirm that with the evidence they had previously uncovered, they are an item. Now, all that remains is for the two celebrities to confirm the worst-kept secret in Hollywood themselves.
