In recent months, whispers of a romance between Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have danced through the streets of New York. Could it be that Hollywood’s most awaited event, the 2024 Oscars, would be the perfect time for the duo to showcase their budding love affair to the world? The answer seems to be not quite.
The internet might be buzzing with assumptions about Hadid and Cooper stepping out together for the first time at the 96th Academy Awards, but as per a confidential source close to the pair, they aren’t quite ready for their public debut yet.
Unraveling the mystery around Hadid’s anticipated presence, the source confirms that the supermodel will be marking her absence at the Oscars this year. Instead, she will spend quality time with her adorable daughter, Khai. Hadid shares her little one with Zayn Malik, the ex-One Direction heartthrob, and founder of Guest in Residence.
In dispelling the rumors of a red carpet strut with Bradley, the insider reassures fans that their absence is not indicative of a rocky relationship. Quite contrary to the speculations, the duo is genuinely content and managing their schedules considerately. “Bradley and Gigi are both genuinely so happy. Theyโre having a great time together, doing well as a couple, and co-parenting healthily on both sides,” says a secondary source.
A heartwarming revelation is that Cooperโs six-year-old daughterย Lea De Seine, shared with his ex, Irinya Shayk, reportedly played a precious role in bringing Cooper and Hadid closer. Sources suggest that the children acted as unwitting matchmakers in this scenario, with Cooper and Hadid bonding over their shared experiences of parenthood.
In the meantime, Hadid hasn’t shied away from debuting a new look on social media for the Oscars weekend. Sporting freshly chopped locks, Hadid unveiled a trendy shaggy bob. Though fans initially suspected that this could signify her transition into the role of an ‘Oscar nominee’s girlfriend’, it appears that they will have to wait a bit longer for that.
Cooper, on the other hand, is in battle for three Academy Awards recognitions for his remarkable contribution to the Leonard Bernstein biopic, Maestro. Competing against talent like Cillian Murphy, Paul Giamatti, Colman Domingo, and Jeffrey Wright, the weekend promises to be a fulfilling one for Cooper.
Catch the intriguing trailer of Maestro below, and like Gigi Hadid, immerse yourself in the grandeur of the 2024 Oscars from the comfort of your home!
