Gigi Hadid reveals why Bradley Cooper romance feels different

Gigi Hadid has opened up about her relationship with Bradley Cooper, explaining why her romance with the Oscar-nominated actor feels different from her previous relationships.

The 31-year-old supermodel shared her thoughts in a recent cover story for the September issue of Vogue France, published on August 25. While discussing her relationship with the 51-year-old actor, Hadid highlighted honesty, emotional openness and mutual support as some of the qualities that have made their bond special.

Hadid said one of the most meaningful aspects of her current relationship is the freedom both partners have to be completely honest with each other. She explained that being able to openly express what they are thinking and feeling has made the relationship stand apart from what she experienced in the past.

The model also spoke about how she and Cooper help each other remain grounded while managing demanding careers. Although their professional worlds are very different, Hadid said understanding every challenge the other person faces is not necessarily the most important thing. Instead, having a supportive partner who can provide stability and encouragement has become an important part of their relationship.

Hadid has previously praised Cooper for encouraging her creative ambitions. In an earlier Vogue interview published in April 2025, she spoke highly of him as a creative person and described the confidence and encouragement he has given her. According to Hadid, receiving support from someone she admires has encouraged her to take chances and step outside her comfort zone.

The model also credited Cooper with helping her rediscover her appreciation for theater. She said his influence had encouraged her to attend theater performances more often, something she described as a welcome addition to her life.

Hadid’s latest comments come amid growing public interest in her relationship with Cooper. The couple recently sparked marriage speculation after being spotted together in Paris wearing what appeared to be matching or similar wedding bands.

Cooper and Hadid were photographed holding hands while taking a walk through the French capital. Observers quickly noticed the jewelry on their fingers, with reports suggesting that the pieces were from French luxury jewelry house Boucheron. The appearance fueled speculation that the couple may have taken their relationship to the next level, although neither Hadid nor Cooper has publicly confirmed that they are married or engaged.

The pair first sparked romance rumors in October 2023 after they were seen having dinner together in New York City. Their relationship gradually attracted considerable attention, particularly because both stars had previously been involved in high-profile relationships.

Since then, Hadid and Cooper have occasionally been photographed together, while generally keeping details of their romance away from the public eye. Their relatively private approach has added to the curiosity surrounding their relationship.

Hadid’s latest remarks offer a rare glimpse into what she values in her romance with Cooper. Rather than focusing on their celebrity status, she emphasized honesty, encouragement and emotional support as the qualities that make their relationship meaningful.

With the couple continuing to make occasional public appearances together, speculation about their future is likely to continue. However, for now, Hadid’s comments suggest that the connection is built on trust, openness and a strong sense of mutual support.
