Supermodel Gigi Hadid opened up to Vogue France about why her partnership with Oscar‑nominated actor Bradley Cooper feels unlike any previous relationship. The 31‑year‑old said the most striking quality is the ability to be “deeply honest” and to speak her mind freely.
Honesty as a litmus test
When asked whether such openness is always easy, Hadid replied, “If it’s impossible, it probably means he’s not the right person.” She added that this level of honesty sets the tone for a relationship built on mutual respect.
Public speculation and private reality
Rumors of marriage swirled after the pair were photographed in Paris wearing matching left‑hand rings. While some outlets reported the jewelry as Boucheron wedding bands, others later suggested they were simply promise rings, and neither Hadid nor Cooper confirmed a legal marriage.
The couple, linked since late 2023, have largely kept their romance out of the spotlight. Hadid explained in 2025 that privacy was simply part of their dynamic, describing the relationship as “very romantic and happy.”
From Instagram announcement to countryside retreat
In May 2025, Hadid made the romance Instagram‑official while celebrating her 30th birthday, sharing photos that included a kiss in front of a multi‑tiered cake. She expressed gratitude for the highs and lows the partnership has brought.
More recently, Hadid said she feels “serene” and even youthful, crediting time spent in the countryside with her daughter, friends and animals for recharging her batteries. “Living in the countryside surrounded by animals, with my daughter, my partner, my friends, is part of what recharges my batteries,” she told the magazine.
Family life and shared support
Hadid shares daughter Khai with former boyfriend Zayn Malik, while Cooper is the father of Lea, his daughter with Irina Shayk. Both parents said the other provides steady support, even when they don’t fully understand each other’s demanding careers.
“We don’t necessarily understand all the challenges of each other’s job, but the main thing is to have someone who supports you – and helps you keep your feet on the ground,” Hadid said.
Paris through a new lens
Hadid also noted that Cooper’s love for France has opened a different side of Paris for her—one beyond the hectic fashion shoots she once associated with the city. She hinted she might consider living there someday.
Balancing fame and privacy
Reflecting on her long‑standing public profile, Hadid said the constant visibility became overwhelming around age 19, describing it as a “noose” that tightened over time. Today, she strives for balance, noting that only about one percent of her daily life is shared on Instagram.
She concluded that the partnership with Cooper has helped her find a healthier equilibrium between her role as a mother in Pennsylvania and her public life in the fashion industry.
