This week, fans were taken aback when Alyssa Milano shared a photo featuring herself, Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid, and Kimberly Marable backstage at Broadway’s Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre. Observers remarked that the group, particularly Cooper, 49, appeared so heavily retouched or edited that they were almost “unrecognizable.”
On November 10th, Milano, 51, (who just starred in the beloved Chicago for two months as Roxie Hart) captioned a 6-part photo collection for her 3.7 million followers: “Bradley, Gigi, Erinn, Michelle—and so many more that I don’t have pictures with. Thank you to all who came out to see me in @chicagomusical tonight. And thank you to all those who waited my the stage door in the cold (brrrr). 2 more performances left. My heart is so full.”

Fans Are Taken Aback By ‘Edited’ Photo Of Bradley Cooper That Alyssa Milano Shared On Instagram
In an additional IG post from Ok!, fans of Cooper headed to the comments section to share their thoughts. “They all looked different in the photo, it was a filter,” one wrote as another added: “worst Photoshop ever.” Someone else remarked: “insane” as someone else replied: “So weird.” Someone else asked: “is this AI?”
Milano made her first appearance on Broadway in the production of Chicago, running from September 16th to November 10th. As the longest-running American musical in Broadway’s history, it attracted quite a bit of attention, especially considering the addition of the Melrose Place actress. Among the audience over the eight-week tenure were some of Milano’s well-known friends, including Cooper and his girlfriend Hadid, 29, who attended to show their support.
Cooper and Hadid have been romantically connected since October 2023, when dating rumors ignited after they were seen together in New York City. Since then, the Oscar-nominated actor and supermodel have been spotted enjoying extravagant date nights in the city, taking weekend trips upstate and out of town.
They were reportedly introduced by Cooper's former partner, Irina Shayk, along with their mutual friends in the industry. Cooper and Shayk, 38, share a 7-year-old daughter named Lea and were in a relationship from 2015 to 2019. Hadid has a 4-year-old daughter named Khai with her ex, Zayn Malik, with whom she had an on-and-off relationship from 2015 until they finally parted ways in 2021.
