NYC Steakhouse Sparks Brad Pitt & Bradley Cooper Double Date Buzz
So here we have it: two of Hollywood’s most photogenic couples convening for a cattle-to-table extravaganza at a Korean steakhouse, because nothing says romance like tungsten carbide grills and side dishes of sarcasm. Last Friday night, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid arrived at Cote in New York City looking like they’d just walked off a fashion runway—BC in a dark-blue tee and jeans, channeling “casual genius,” and Gigi in a snug white shirt with a denim jacket tossed over her shoulders. Photographers barely had time to blink before Brad Pitt rolled up next to them, flashed those firm-by-design shades, and strutted in wearing a glossy button-down, leaving no doubt he’s still got the A-list magnetism that powers any room he enters. His model girlfriend Ines de Ramon wasn’t about to be upstaged either, showing substantial leg in a sand-colored mini dress and clutching a designer micro-bag like it contained the secrets of the universe.
By TMZ’s account, Bradley played gentlemanly chauffeur, holding doors and hands (yes, public hand-holding—because of course) while the quartet made their fashionably late entrance. Sources at People Magazine confirm the foursome spent close to two hours sampling prime cuts, exchanging laughs, and no doubt deliberating over who would foot the nearly four-digit tab. Friendships between these guys run deep—Cooper and Pitt have been spotted trading volleys on the tennis court and schmoozing at industry parties for years. But the two women? That’s a newcomer dynamic, with Gigi and Bradley linked since late 2023 and Brad and Ines going steady since mid-2024 after being seen at a concert.
Rumor has it (according to TMZ) the conversation danced from light banter about upcoming film projects to the more pressing matter of this year’s Met Gala guest list. No word yet on whether any career-boosting collaborations were pitched between courses, but if star power were stock, these four could crash global markets. In a town that thrives on exclusivity, it’s almost shocking to see such an ultra-A lineup share roasted garlic kimchi and wagyu beef.
Of course, the burning question echoing across social feeds: who picked up the check? Sources aren’t spilling beans, but given average entree prices north of $100 at Cote, somebody’s credit card took a hit. And let’s face it, when Pitt’s in town, he’s probably either charming the server into a comped dessert or casually sliding the bill across the table like it’s Monopoly money.
So there you have it—glittering star power, perfectly curated outfits, and a side of corporate steak. And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
