Supermodel Gigi Hadid officially confirmed her relationship with actor Bradley Cooper, while making a rare comment about her co-parenting setup with her previous partner Zayn Malik.
For the first time since they sparked dating rumors in 2023, Hadid opened up about her relationship with Cooper, describing it as “very romantic and happy.”
“To find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve… and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be. I just feel really lucky. Yeah, lucky’s the word,” she told Vogue USA.
Despite sharing a 20-year age gap, Hadid, who met Cooper at a backyard birthday party for the child of a mutual friend, emphasized that she feels very “inspired” by the actor.
“I respect him so much,” she continued. “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.”
Amid the new romance in her life, the runway queen shared that her co-parenting set up with Malik, the father of her 4-year-old daughter Khai is filled with “love, and a feeling of camaraderie.”
“Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,” she said. “That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other’s backs.”
Hadid explained that she is not very keen on sharing details about her personal relationship, may it be with Cooper or Malik.
“And at the end of the day, we’re not interested in giving everyone our whole story. What we are interested in is raising our daughter together, with so much respect for each other, and not just as co-parents, but what we’ve been through together,” she stated.
Hadid and Malik dated for six years before separating in 2021. The separation was reportedly due to a dispute between the former One Direction member and the Victoria Secret model’s mother, Yolanda.
