After months of speculation and paparazzi photos, Gigi Hadid has finally opened up about her relationship with Bradley Cooper. In a recent interview with Vogue, the 29-year-old model shared details about their connection, offering a glimpse into their private world.
The rumors began swirling in October 2023, but neither Gigi nor Bradley had addressed their relationship status directly. Now, Gigi reveals that their paths first crossed at a casual backyard birthday party for the child of a mutual friend.
"You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating," she explained, highlighting the challenges of maintaining privacy in the public eye.
Gigi's words paint a picture of a relationship built on mutual respect and shared passions. She gushed about Bradley's influence on her aspirations, particularly in the realm of acting.
“Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life.”
This quote reveals Bradley's role as an encourager, inspiring Gigi to explore new creative avenues.
Gigi also touched on the challenges of dating as a public figure, emphasizing the desire for privacy and the fear of constant media intrusion.
"You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deuxmoi or whatever, but you just don’t know," she confessed, highlighting the vulnerability that comes with dating in the spotlight.
Despite the challenges, Gigi described their relationship as "very romantic and happy," emphasizing the importance of keeping certain aspects private.
Addressing the numerous reports from unnamed sources, Gigi clarified, "That’s kind of right and kind of wrong...you just have to let it go; you can’t always correct everything.” This statement underscores the difficulty of controlling the narrative when in the public eye.
Gigi emphasized the importance of knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship, and finding someone who shares those values. She described herself as feeling "lucky" to have found that with Bradley.
“I respect him so much as a creative,” Gigi added. “I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief. For those people you admire to encourage you, it can create so much belief in yourself. Like, what’s the worst thing if I auditioned for this? You jump and take the leap.”
This powerful quote reveals the depth of their connection and the mutual support they provide each other in pursuing their creative ambitions.
While Gigi remains tight-lipped about specific future plans, her words suggest a relationship grounded in mutual respect, shared dreams, and a commitment to navigating the challenges of public life together. Only time will tell where their journey will lead, but for now, it seems they've found something truly special.
