I know everyone (by which I mean the NFL) is busy talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship, but please be advised that Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper appear to be dating—and speaking of Taylor Swift, they’re using her mansion as a “secret love nest.”
News to you? Clearly we have a lot to catch up on, so here’s Gigi and Bradley’s entire relationship timeline thus far—including some possible Zayn Malik drama.
The Weekend of July 22
TMZ reports Bradley’s ex Irina Shayk and Tom Brady were spotted “cozying up in L.A. over the course of two days” and that she spent the night at his place.
July 25, 2023
A source chats with the Daily Mail about Bradley’s reaction to Irina and Tom’s whole…thing, saying this:
“To say he is not bothered by this would be a lie. He has been on and off and on with Irina, and he has so much love for her. She is the mother to his girl and they are his two favorite women in the world. He feels that, for the first time, she met someone in Tom that would take her heart away from him forever.”

Bradley and Irina go on vacation and post these pics….
Naturally everyone has questions, and a source tells Us Weekly, “Tom has no idea if Irina is still seeing Bradley, but it’s really none of his business. Tom and Irina aren’t in a committed relationship, so she’s free to see anybody she likes.”

Page Six drops pics of Gigi and Bradley seemingly coming back from a weekend getaway together. Meanwhile, People speaks to a source, who has this to say:
“They are having fun. She’s independent, busy, and her days are filled with responsibilities, so I don’t see anything serious happening right away if at all.”
The source adds that Gigi has “had sort of a crush on [Bradley] for a while” and “[they have] things in common so it’s possible to see it progress. It appears super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles. It’s cute…and there is an attraction.”

A source tells Us Weekly Gigi and Bradley “have a lot in common,” including “a similar sense of humor.”
October 11, 2023
The Messenger speaks to a source who says Irina was actually the one who introduced Bradley to Gigi. Ahem:
“Gigi was introduced to Bradley through Irina and their mutual friends in the industry. Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have hung out before, but it has always been friendly in social settings. Gigi and Bradley were in touch recently and were bonding over their daughters, when Bradley asked her out.”
The source adds, “He pursued her and she was definitely interested and excited. They have been casually seeing each other but it is extremely new. Gigi has expressed she does not want a serious relationship. They have a lot in common and both relate to being parents in the industry. She wants to get into acting and is intrigued by Bradley’s perspective and guidance. It is very casual at this point.”
Meanwhile, The Daily Mail alleges Gigi’s ex Zayn Malik is not thrilled:
“Zayn has gotten wind of it and he hates it. Not that it is Bradley, just because it is anyone in the first place. He still has a connection with Gigi, and he doesn’t really want to see or let alone think about her with someone else romantically. It has been a while since they broke up, but they have a lot of history, and as we all know, they have a kid together. So that plays a lot into it, because he can never get away from it as they will be connected forever, and it plays with his emotions.”

According to a source who spoke to The Mirror (via Page Six) says Taylor Swift let Bradley and Gigi use her Rhode Island mansion during that aforementioned weekend getaway so they could enjoy getting to know each other away from the spotlight.
Per a source, “Taylor is a total romantic and loves playing cupid for her friends. Even though Gigi and Bradley have their own properties in New York, they wanted somewhere more private to spend time getting to know each other and Taylor was only too happy to help. She said the door to her home is always open for them to use.”
