Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid spark dating rumors as pair was seen twice in NYC
Dating rumors surround Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid have been spotted together twice in New York City in just a few days.
The 48-year-old actor and 28-year-old model were first spotted together on Oct. 5. At that time, Gigi, who was wearing a tan mni skirt, was seen alongside Bradley and her bodyguard leaving together in an SUV after an evening at the Italain restaurant Via Carota.
The pair were spotted for the second time on October 8, driving around NYC from a weekend getaway. Bradley was spotted in the driver's seat with Gigi on the passenger side.
On the surface, the pair may not look like a match at first; they share mutual friends and co-parents with famous exes.
Gigi shares a three-year-old daughter, Kai, with former One Direction star Zayn Malik while Cooper is raising his six-year-old daughter Lea with supermodel Irina Shayk.
Reports say that it is also possible that they met through Leonardo DiCaprio, one of Cooper's close friends since he was in his twenties.
Leo and Gigi were rumored to be dating in November of last year, with a source telling PEOPLE Magazine that they "like each other and are having a good time." However, another source told the outlet that the relationship has "fizzled" in February 2023.
Another celebrity friend who could have connected Bradley and Gigi is Blake Lively. According to Glamour, Bradley and his daughter attended the star-studded seventh birthday party of Blake's daughter, Inez, in NYC. The actress has been close friends with Gigi for years.
While the rumored couple has yet to confirm the real score between them, a source told PEOPLE on Oct. 9 that the two stars are keeping it "super casual" and that "they are having fun."
The source also told the outlet that Gigi "had sort of a crush on [Bradley] for a while" and confirmed that "there is an attraction" between the two.
