Gigi Hadid (pic) has finally broken her silence on her romance with Bradley Cooper, over a year after they were first linked.
The 29-year-old supermodel spoke to Vogue about her “very romantic and happy” relationship with the Oscar nominee, 50, in an interview published Tuesday.
“You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating,” said Hadid, who met the Maestro star and director at the backyard birthday bash for a mutual friend’s child. But, being famous, “There’s another added layer of privacy and security.”
Hadid, who shares four-year-old daughter Khai with ex-boyfriend and One Direction alum Zayn Malik, said it’s “essential” to discover what you want and deserve in a relationship.
“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,” she said.
Cooper, similarly, shares seven-year-old daughter Lea with supermodel ex Irina Shayk.
While Hadid shared she does “respect him so much as a creative” — and Cooper similarly encourages her, even prompting her to “take the leap” and go on auditions — she said she hopes to keep elements of their love story private. The “sources” who shed light on it meanwhile get their info “kind of right and kind of wrong,” she says.
“You can’t always correct everything,” said Hadid, who has been linked to Cooper since October 2023. –New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
