The possibility of a fresh celebrity pairing has been making the rounds, and it involves none other than Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. Last month, the supermodel, 28, and Oscar nominee, 48, were seen out and about multiple times, fueling speculation about their potential romance.
Last week, paparazzi caught them attending an off-Broadway production at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York City, with Hadid donning a stylish knit coat, black baseball cap, and carrying a Birkin bag, according to a source cited by Page Six. Cooper sported a crisp black tee and matching coat for what the insider described to be the duo’s “theater date night.”

Hadid and Cooper ventured to the West Village to witness the highly-regarded production of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. This contemporary play is a revival of a classic 1983 production featuring renowned character actor John Tuturro. In this single-act production (starring Aubrey Plaza and Chris Abbott, the plot centers around two distressed characters who unexpectedly meet in a bar.
The source dished to the outlet that Hadid and Cooper went on a "theater date" night, and that "Bradley is always going to the theater. As you know from his film [Maestro] about Leonard Bernstein, he’s a big fan." The Next in Fashion star and A Star Is Born actor were spotted having dinner together at the popular West Village restaurant, Via Carota last month, and since then, they are continuing to spark relationship rumors.
A few days later, they were seen driving into NYC after seemingly going on a mini vacation together somewhere outside of the city. Allegedly, they first met after Cooper's ex (and mother of his 6-year-old daughter Lea), supermodel Irina Shayk introduced them. One source apparently told The Messenger: "Gigi was introduced to Bradley through Irina [Shayk] and their mutual friends in the industry."
"Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have hung out before, but it has always been friendly in social settings," the insider went on. They were also "bonding over their daughters" when Cooper supposedly "asked her out."
Hadid is currently co-parenting her 3-year-old daughter Khai with her former partner, Zayn Malik. The runway star and former One Direction member, 30, split in October 2021 after six years of dating on and off. After that, she was then linked to Cooper's friend Leonardo DiCaprio.
After a four-year-long relationship, Cooper and Shayk, 37, parted ways in 2019. Recently, Shayk's blossoming relationship with athlete Tom Brady has been garnering a lot of attention, and we are eagerly awaiting further updates.
