In a whirlwind of romance and media scrutiny, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have become one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples. Following nearly two years of dating, the couple has finally made their relationship Instagram official, much to the delight of fans and the dismay of those who speculate about their future.
On May 7, 2025, a source revealed to People magazine that Hadid's family wholeheartedly approves of her relationship with Cooper. "He is a gentleman and fits in perfectly with the family," the source stated. Gigi and Bradley share a strong bond, with their daughters—Gigi's four-year-old Khai and Bradley's eight-year-old Lea—getting along well. "Lea is very sweet and kind to Khai," the source added. This familial harmony has reportedly contributed to Gigi's happiness, with the source noting, "They have never seen her so happy with a partner before."
However, the couple is not without its challenges. According to RadarOnline, Gigi is feeling the pressure to take their relationship to the next level. Sources indicate that she has expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of a marriage proposal from Cooper and has issued an ultimatum. Despite hints dropped on special occasions, including birthdays and holidays, Bradley has yet to make a move. Gigi, who recently celebrated her 30th birthday, is reportedly ready for a commitment and is tired of waiting.
In January 2025, a source had claimed that the couple was taking their relationship seriously but was not in a rush to get engaged. This sentiment was echoed by the fact that Cooper had recently purchased a property in Pennsylvania, close to Hadid's family farm, signaling a desire to integrate their families further.
The couple's relationship timeline is a testament to their journey together. It all began in October 2023, when they were first spotted leaving Via Carota in New York City after dinner. The chemistry was palpable, and just days later, they were seen together in a car, sparking dating rumors. Prior to this, Gigi had ended a tumultuous on-and-off relationship with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, making her newfound romance with Cooper all the more intriguing.
As the months progressed, their relationship blossomed. In January 2024, they were photographed heading to a private dinner following the Golden Globe Awards with Bradley's mother, Gloria. Reports indicated that Gloria and Gigi got along well, further solidifying the budding romance. By late January, the couple was spotted holding hands during a stroll in London, marking a significant step in their public displays of affection.
Their first kiss was captured on camera in March 2024, while dining with the stars of Queer Eye, marking a turning point in their relationship. By July 2024, sources confirmed that they were in a "full-blown relationship," with Gigi even admitting to having a crush on Bradley prior to their official dating status.
As the year progressed, Gigi and Bradley continued to support each other in their respective careers. During the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in October 2024, Gigi mentioned that while Bradley couldn't attend, he was watching from home, demonstrating his commitment as a supportive partner. Both stars are parents from previous relationships—Gigi shares her daughter Khai with former One Direction member Zayn Malik, while Bradley has a daughter named Lea with model Irina Shayk, with whom he previously dated.
In the spring of 2025, Gigi visited the set of Bradley's upcoming film, Is This Thing On?, further showcasing their supportive dynamic. However, speculation about their engagement began to swirl after Gigi was spotted wearing a gold band on her ring finger during her 30th birthday celebration. Fans eagerly awaited confirmation of an engagement, but as of now, there has been no official word.
Despite the public pressure and scrutiny surrounding their relationship, Gigi and Bradley have remained relatively private. They have chosen not to comment on the swirling rumors regarding their future, opting instead to focus on their families and careers. The delicate balance between their personal lives and the demands of fame poses a constant challenge, but both seem committed to navigating it together.
As fans speculate on what the future holds for this high-profile couple, the spotlight remains on Bradley Cooper's next move in response to Gigi Hadid's ultimatum. Will he take the plunge and propose, solidifying their bond, or will the pressures of fame and public scrutiny lead to a reevaluation of their relationship? Only time will tell, but for now, Gigi and Bradley continue to capture the hearts of fans worldwide, embodying a modern love story filled with both romance and complexity.
