Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper recently fueled romance rumors.
The two were first linked in early October when they were spotted having dinner together at Via Carota in New York’s West Village and have seemingly grown close ever since.
“They are dating,” a source told PEOPLE of the rumored new couple. “He looks super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles,” the source added. “It’s cute…and there’s an appeal.”
Cooper was previously in a relationship with Russian model Irina Shayk, with whom he has a daughter, Lea De Seine. The couple, who started dating in 2015, broke up two years later, but remained friends.
Meanwhile, Hadid was previously in a relationship with Zayn Malik, with whom she shares daughter Khai. She and the former One Direction member split in October 2021 after almost six years of dating.
