GIGI HADID & BRADLEY COOPER Inside their BLENDED FAMILY

THE COUPLE GROW CLOSER AS THEY BOND WITH EACH OTHER'S DAUGHTERS

-  Penelope Clifton

Heading out for a date night in New York City on June 9, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper couldn't hide their connection. The casual couple, who had until earlier this year kept their romance relatively under wraps, looked loved-up as they strolled down the street hand in hand - stopping for the actor, 50, to FaceTime a pal while the model, 30, affectionately played with his ear.

The outing was a sign things are getting more serious between the pair, who have been romantically linked since October 2023. The same was true of Hadid's recent day out with Cooper's daughter, Lea, 8, who he shares with his former partner Irina Shayk, 39. Hadid and Lea enjoyed a spot of shopping together on May 26, showing off the adorable bond they've been building.

“Gigi treats Bradley’s daughter, Lea, as if she were her own,” a source recently told the Daily Mail, adding, “Lea sees Gigi as a mother figure in return. And Irina fully supports their close bond.”
