What started as quiet whispers in late 2023 has now exploded into full-blown headline territory. After months of keeping their romance low-key, Bradley Cooper has reportedly taken a life-changing step with Gigi Hadid — and insiders say the answer was a heartfelt yes.
According to reports from the British press, the actor decided he was ready to leave bachelorhood behind and commit fully. Before getting down on one knee, Cooper made it clear he was thinking long-term, envisioning a stable, united family with Gigi at the center of it.
In a move that underlined just how serious he is, Bradley reportedly sought the blessing of Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, wanting to show respect and transparency. He also leaned on his own mother, Gloria Campano, for guidance before taking the next step. Gigi, in turn, didn’t rush her decision — she is said to have spoken with her father, Mohamed Hadid, before agreeing to the engagement.
Despite a 20-year age gap, the couple reportedly never saw it as an obstacle. In fact, their bond grew stronger thanks to their shared experiences as parents. Cooper is devoted to his daughter Lea, whom he shares with Irina Shayk, while Gigi is raising her five-year-old daughter Khai with Zayn Malik.
Their connection reportedly began in the most unexpected way — at a children’s event — and what started as casual conversation quickly evolved into a deep, committed relationship. Friends say the chemistry was undeniable from the start.
Both stars are said to be extremely protective of their children’s privacy. Cooper remains a hands-on father, and Gigi has long been part of Lea’s world. Those close to the couple say their shared priority is simple but powerful: creating a warm, secure, and loving family environment where all the children feel safe, valued, and deeply cared for.
