Gigi Hadid’s 30th birthday was more than just a milestone celebration — it was also the moment she chose to share her relationship with Bradley Cooper publicly for the first time. The model took to Instagram on Saturday, posting a carousel of snapshots from her birthday festivities.
This also included a candid image of her kissing Cooper, 50, behind a towering chocolate cake. In the photo, Hadid gently cups his face as they lean in, signaling a quiet but clear confirmation of their romance. Her caption captured more than just a birthday sentiment. “I feel so lucky to be 30!” she began, before expanding into a personal message of gratitude and reflection.
“I feel so lucky for every high and low — for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all! I’m so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!! So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week,” she wrote. “I had the best time celebrating, and it’s a blessing to feel so loved!! I am grateful and honored to take on a new decade x x G.”
Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper: A Relationship Built Away from the Spotlight
Though the birthday post was the couple’s first public acknowledgment, Hadid and Cooper have been quietly building their relationship for months. The pair were first linked in October 2023, following a dinner outing in New York. Since then, they’ve maintained a low profile, with only a few sightings together — including their recent hand-in-hand arrival at Hadid’s birthday party at Le Chalet on April 25.
Adding to the buzz was Hadid’s choice of jewelry that evening: a gold ring worn on her wedding finger, which sparked speculation among fans.
In a recent Vogue interview, Hadid didn’t mention Cooper by name but spoke openly about how her relationship has evolved. “Getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential,” she said. “And then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve. And you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be.”
She continued, “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?”
The couple brings shared experiences as parents into their bond — Cooper with his 8-year-old daughter Lea, whom he shares with Irina Shayk, and Hadid with 4-year-old daughter Khai from her previous relationship with Zayn Malik. Their quiet connection now steps into the open as they begin this new chapter together.
