Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper’s Relationship Timeline: From First Dates to Airport PDA
Kai Montgomery here, reluctantly breaking down yet another celebrity relationship like it’s some kind of emotional Sudoku puzzle. Look, I didn’t ask for this job, but apparently, someone thought I was the only one cynical enough to handle Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper’s low-key, high-profile romance. So, fine. Let’s get into it.
Yes, yes, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper were spotted together at JFK Airport on August 23, looking like they’d rather be anywhere else than hiding from the cameras. Casual attire, minimal eye contact with the paparazzi, and zero drama—because apparently, being a supermodel and an Oscar-nominated actor means you get to do couple goals without the chaos. Bradley, 50, in a black hoodie and headphones, and Gigi, 30, in a pink cardigan that screamed “I’m comfortable, not trying too hard,” were just living their best low-key life. Because of course they were.
But let’s rewind, shall we? Because this wasn’t just a random airport sighting—it was the latest chapter in a romance that’s been quietly unfolding since late 2023. They were first linked in October when they were seen having dinner at Via Carota in New York City. Shocking, I know. A celebrity spotted dining in public. Groundbreaking. But the real kicker? They kept it relatively private for a while, which in Hollywood terms basically means they didn’t post about it on Instagram for a full week.
By November, the pair was already attending plays together—because nothing says romance like watching a dramatic off-Broadway performance. They were seen catching *Danny and the Deep Blue Sea*, and Bradley even joined Gigi for a girls’ night out with Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and company. Because of course he did. He’s Bradley Cooper. He can hang with the pop stars and still pretend he’s just some guy who likes theater.
Then came the holidays, and with them, the dreaded “meeting the parents” phase. In January 2024, Gigi joined Bradley and his mom, Gloria Campano, for dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles after the Golden Globes. That’s right—she survived the post-Globes dinner circuit. That alone deserves an award.
By late January, the couple officially confirmed their relationship by holding hands in London. Then came the matching outfits in February, the boutique visits, and the PDA at Via Carota again in March—this time with Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski and Tan France. Because of course they brought friends. Nothing says “we’re serious” like making your third date a group dinner.
And let’s not forget the Broadway dates. Because if you’re going to fall in love in New York, you might as well do it with a side of Sweeney Todd and backstage selfies with the cast. Gigi and Bradley have clearly mastered the art of being seen without actually saying anything. Because, let’s face it, they don’t need to. The photos do all the talking.
Gigi, who is co-parenting her daughter Khai with ex Zayn Malik, has been refreshingly candid about the challenges of dating in the spotlight. She told *Vogue* earlier this year that she felt “lucky” to find someone like Bradley, who’s also navigating co-parenting with ex Irina Shayk. And honestly? It’s kind of nice to see two people who’ve been through the tabloid wringer actually getting it right.
So, what’s next? Probably more airport sightings, more Broadway dates, and maybe—just maybe—a red carpet appearance where they actually pose together. Because let’s be real, that’s the only thing missing from this low-drama love story. But hey, don’t hold your breath. These two seem perfectly content flying under the radar. Which, honestly, is kind of impressive.
Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so.
