Saying no to dating is so last season for Gigi Hadid.
Awhile back, the model cryptically shared a photo of an 87-year-old-woman holding a sign saying, “Dating Advice: Don’t.” Which, naturally, the internet took to be a telling window into Hadid’s state of mind.
But then she connected with Bradley Cooper and a new romance was born.
It’s been a year and a half since Hadid and the Maestro auteur were first spotted enjoying autumn in New York together. And while initially those sightings could have just signaled the beginning of a beautiful friendship, holding hands in London, hanging out on Valentine’s Day and kissing at dinner soon made their couple status undeniable.
And what are Cooper, 50, and Hadid, who’s turning 30 on April 23, bonding over, you might ask?
“I respect him so much as a creative,” Hadid told Vogue in an interview published Mar. 11. “And I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief. For those people you admire to encourage you, it can create so much belief in yourself. Like, what’s the worst thing if I auditioned for this? You jump and take the leap.”
