Bradley Cooper, allegedly reeling from his latest Oscar defeat, faces scrutiny not just for his relentless pursuit of acclaim but also for its potential impact on his relationship with Gigi Hadid. The "A Star Is Born" luminary's dedication to his craft and the consequent awards circuit disappointments have sparked fears among friends that his romance with the 28-year-old model may be under strain.
“Bradley is the unluckiest lucky guy in Hollywood. He can make outrageous movies like ‘A Star Is Born,’ ‘Joker and Maestro,’ but he’s not converting that into trophies,” an unnamed source told The National Enquirer.
According to a tip, the 12-time nominee's emotional state plummeted as his losing streak continued this year. Bradley's film "Maestro," a biopic of conductor-composer Leonard Bernstein, received nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay but won no awards.
The earnest perfectionist dedicated six years to the project he directed, co-produced, and starred in. Nonetheless, critics chastised him for wearing a prosthetic nose to emulate the legendary musician's honor and appearing desperate for validation.
“People on social media were openly ridiculing him,” an informant stated. Meanwhile, the mole claimed Gigi has an “utter distaste for the Hollywood rat race” her man so loves. “She lives in a different world – the real world! She would be a lot better off with somebody who is as down to earth as she is,” it furthered.
Contrary to popular belief, Gigi and Bradley did not publicize their relationship at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. Bradley chose Netflix's gathering instead, and Gigi was noticeably absent from both events.
However, the couple appears to continue their relationship, as they were recently spotted together in Manhattan. Following the sighting, Gigi attended an Off-Broadway performance of "Little Shop of Horrors" starring Darren Criss and Evan Rachel Wood. The critically acclaimed musical stars Criss and Wood as Seymour and Audrey highlight the production's strong casting choices.
Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have received increased public attention following a series of outings that suggest the two celebrities have a close relationship. Their recent activities include a group dinner earlier this month to celebrate the birthday of "Queer Eye" star Antoni Porowski, as well as a stroll through London in January.
Following the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, Bradley joined Gigi for a dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles, as photographed by Page Six.
According to a source from PEOPLE magazine, the couple spent the evening with friends and appeared to be at ease and happy. "They weren’t overly affectionate, but it was still obvious that they were dating. There were lots of loving glances and flirting," the insider reported.
To recall, Gigi and Bradley first sparked rumors of a relationship in October when they were spotted leaving a restaurant in a black SUV, with the actor driving and Zayn Malik's ex-wife in the passenger seat. Photos of the couple kissing fueled speculation about their relationship. According to a source, Gigi and Bradley were "in good form and smiling," and they appeared "cute" together that evening.
Another insider shared last year that the relationship between Gigi and Bradley was initially casual, noting Hadid was "having fun" and had harbored a "sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while." "They have things in common, so it's possible to see it progress. It appears super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles. It’s cute... and there is an attraction,” the tipster added.
While Gigi's personal life, particularly her rumored transition from Leonardo DiCaprio to Bradley Cooper, has drawn comparisons to Blake Lively's past relationships, specifics of Gigi's connection with Leonardo remain unconfirmed. They were spotted together on several occasions last summer, fueling rumors.
However, their interaction is speculative, implying that Leonardo or his representatives may have intended to project a specific image. The "Titanic" actor is rumored to be engaged to Vittoria Ceretti, a 25-year-old model.
Bradley is significant in Gigi's life, marking an important chapter in the model's personal story. This development highlights the public's ongoing fascination with celebrities' private lives, providing insight into the complexities of their relationships beyond the camera's reach.
