Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper opted out of the traditional red carpet spectacle at the Oscars, but their public display of affection has certainly not gone unnoticed, as captured by paparazzi.
The 28-year-old model was photographed sharing a kiss with Bradley, 49, during a dinner outing on Thursday at Via Carota, a restaurant in New York City. The images depict the rumored couple enjoying the company of Tan France and Antoni Porowski, suggesting it might have been a celebration for Porowski’s birthday, as Gigi had previously conveyed her wishes to him on her Instagram story, writing, “Happy birthday Angel @antoni.” Additionally, Hadid shared a video of Porowski blowing out birthday candles on a cake.
Gigi and Cooper were initially spotted together in October 2023, leaving a restaurant, though a source informed PEOPLE magazine at the time that their interactions were light-hearted and not indicative of a serious relationship. However, the source hinted at a potential attraction, stating, “[They have] things in common so it’s possible to see it progress. Although their relationship seems relaxed at the moment, both individuals have children, thriving careers, and hectic schedules, giving them a deep understanding of the demands within their respective circles.
It’s cute…and there is an attraction.”
While the couple has yet to confirm their relationship publicly, sightings of them together have become increasingly frequent over the past few months. In January of this year, following the Golden Globe Awards, Page Six reported the pair having dinner with Cooper’s mother, Gloria, at Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Los Angeles.
Following one of their dinner outings, a source shared with PEOPLE, “They were with a group of friends and all had fun. Bradley and Gigi looked happy together. Although they didn’t display excessive affection, it was evident that they are romantically involved. They exchanged many affectionate looks and engaged in playful flirting.
