Supermodel Gigi Hadid marked her 31st birthday this week with a rare public acknowledgement of her relationship with Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper, sharing a glimpse of the private celebrations that have come to define the high-profile couple.
The Victoria’s Secret icon took to Instagram to showcase a vibrant floral arrangement gifted by Cooper. The sprawling bouquet, featuring a blend of pink, yellow, red, and white blooms, was displayed on a rustic wooden table. Hadid accompanied the image with a brief but pointed caption: “My man tho,” signaling a deepening bond between the two stars.
A Family Affair
The birthday, which falls on April 23, was also marked by a touching tribute from younger sister and fellow model Bella Hadid. In a series of nostalgic photos shared on social media, Bella described Gigi as her “mentor” and “happy place.”
“I am blessed to be your sister and to watch you navigate life in the most beautiful way,” Bella wrote, highlighting the close-knit nature of the Hadid family. “Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for loving me.”
From Playdates to Power Couple
The romance between Hadid, 31, and Cooper, 51, reportedly blossomed in October 2023. Sources indicate the pair first crossed paths at a children’s birthday party—a fitting start for two parents dedicated to their families. Hadid shares a five-year-old daughter, Khai, with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, while Cooper co-parents his nine-year-old daughter, Lea, with model Irina Shayk.
While the couple initially opted for discretion, Hadid opened up about the relationship in a landmark Vogue interview published in March 2025. She described her time with the Maestro actor as a “normal experience” amidst the chaos of global fame.
“Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more,” Hadid told the magazine, reflecting on how the relationship has enriched her lifestyle. “You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating… knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential.”
Seeking Privacy in the Spotlight
Despite their status as one of Hollywood’s most-watched pairs, Hadid and Cooper have largely avoided the red-carpet circuit, preferring low-key outings in New York City and private coastal getaways.
Industry observers note that the couple’s transition from “quiet luxury” dating to subtle social media confirmations suggests a stable, long-term trajectory. As Hadid enters her 31st year, she appears to be balancing a resurgent modeling career with a grounded personal life centered on family and a partner who shares her values on privacy.
