Gigi Hadid just turned 30, but it’s not just her milestone birthday that’s setting gossip columns on fire — it’s the gold ring she wore on her wedding finger! Celebrating in high style at Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC, Gigi stunned in a shimmering Schiaparelli number, but all eyes quickly dropped to her left hand. Adding to the frenzy? Bradley Cooper, her leading man, was right by her side, holding her hand and stealing kisses throughout the night.
In attendance were sister Bella Hadid, bestie Anne Hathaway, and proud parents Yolanda and Mohamed Hadid, along with other glitterati. But it was Gigi and Bradley’s cozy chemistry — and that ring — that had everyone whispering. Decked out in black leather pants, a white corseted bodysuit, stacked gold necklaces, and a bold red lip, Gigi looked every bit the radiant birthday girl. And there, almost like a wink to the world, glistened a simple but striking gold band.
Bradley, rocking a laidback leather Eagles jacket over a velvet blue jumpsuit, couldn’t keep his eyes — or hands — off her. “They were adorable,” an insider spilled to PEOPLE. “They kissed almost every time they crossed paths. It felt really real.” Adding more heat to the rumor mill, Gigi had recently gushed about her “supportive” relationship with Bradley in a Vogue interview, hinting at finding new happiness after her split from Zayn Malik.
Their love story, which blossomed after a casual backyard party in 2023, seems to be going strong — and with a gold ring now flashing in the mix, fans are holding their breath for wedding bells. No official confirmation yet, but if that golden sparkle means anything… wedding season just got a whole lot more exciting.
Hadid marked her special day with dinner at L’Avenue at Saks, where several videos and pictures of the duo emerged on social media platforms. Gigi and Bradley were spotted holding hands as they walked towards the birthday venue, and the couple celebrated her special day surrounded by family and friends.
Among the attendees were notable figures like Emily Ratajkowski, Will Arnett, and Gigi's parents, Yolanda and Mohamed Hadid. As the group gathered to sing "Happy Birthday" to Gigi, she blew out the candles on her cake, surrounded by loved ones.
Gigi and Bradley have been romantically linked since October 2023. A source previously told PEOPLE that the couple is "serious" but not "looking to rush anything." The couple's families have spent time together, and their kids have also bonded, adding another layer of connection to their relationship.
Last month, speaking with PEOPLE, Gigi mentioned, “Bradley has opened me up to going to the theatre more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life.” However, she added that it is “hard” to “give [myself] a normal experience of dating,” mentioning that it is challenging “even for my friends who aren’t public figures.”
“Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people? And then there’s another added layer of privacy and security. You want to believe that people are going to have your back ... but you just don’t know,” she explained.
Bradley, who was previously married to Jennifer Esposito from 2006 to 2007, seems to have found a comfortable rhythm with Gigi since they began dating. In contrast, Gigi had a previous relationship with musician Zayn Malik, with whom she shares a daughter, Khai. Their pasts add complexity to their present, but it appears both are committed to building a future together.
As Gigi celebrated her birthday amidst the glitz and glamour of New York's elite, the atmosphere was undeniably charged with excitement and speculation. Fans and friends alike are eager to see where this relationship leads, especially with the recent rumors of an engagement swirling around that captivating gold ring.
With the couple enjoying each other's company and making memories, Gigi’s 30th birthday bash has certainly set the stage for what could be a significant year ahead. As they continue to navigate their relationship publicly, fans remain hopeful for more joyful news from this glamorous couple.
