Gigi Hadid has opened up about her relationship with Bradley Cooper, offering a glimpse into their romance more than a year after they were first linked. In an interview with Vogue, published on March 11, Hadid expressed her admiration for Cooper, stating, “I respect him so much as a creative,” and emphasized the encouragement he provides her in her career pursuits. She highlighted the importance of having someone who believes in you, noting that it fosters self-confidence and prompts individuals to take risks, such as auditioning for roles.

The couple initially met at a backyard 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day party for a mutual friend’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, a seemingly low-key encounter that paved the way for their relationship. Hadid shared her thoughts on the significance of understanding what one wants and deserves in a partnership, noting that both partners should be at a place in their lives where they can contribute positively to the relationship.

The 29-year-old model, who has a four-year-old daughter named Kai with ex Zayn Malik, characterized her bond with Cooper as “very romantic and happy.” However, she remains guarded about the details, stating, “it’s just not part of our relationship to share.” This sentiment reflects their preference for privacy, a choice that has defined their year-long romance, which has been marked by low-profile outings.

In discussing the challenges of dating as a celebrity, Hadid acknowledged the difficulties in maintaining a normal dating experience. “You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating,” she remarked, recognizing that even friends who are not public figures face similar challenges. The added layer of privacy and security concerns complicates matters further, as she expressed the desire for trust in those around her.

As Hadid and Cooper navigate their relationship, it remains clear that they prioritize both personal happiness and mutual respect, despite the scrutiny that often accompanies celebrity romances.
