Gigi Hadid is finally stepping into the spotlight with her relationship—and she’s not holding back. The supermodel made waves at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday, May 5, not only for her stunning look but also for her candid comments about boyfriend Bradley Cooper.
The 30-year-old walked the Met’s blue floral carpet glowing in a dazzling gold halter dress by Miu Miu, intricately adorned with multicolored beads. But what really caught attention was how openly Gigi Hadid spoke about her day—and the man who helped her prepare for fashion’s biggest night.
When asked by a Vogue interviewer how she geared up for the glamorous evening, Hadid revealed that the day started in the most heartwarming way possible. “I woke up, I was with my man,” she said with a smile. “We had a chill morning with some laughs, which really set the tone for the day.”
Hadid, who shares a daughter with ex-partner Zayn Malik, continued detailing her Met Gala prep in a TikTok video that quickly went viral. “Then I went to my house, had an hour to myself, took a shower, had my fitting, had chicken fingers and fries, then got into glam,” she said. “I think a little protein in the form of fried chicken helps take down the jitters.”
While Gigi Hadid looked radiant on the carpet, Bradley Cooper was notably absent from the event. His absence comes just weeks after the couple celebrated Hadid’s milestone 30th birthday together. Despite his no-show, Hadid’s joy and confidence spoke volumes about their relationship.
The pair, first romantically linked in 2023, maintained a low profile before subtly confirming their romance in early 2024. They made things Instagram official earlier this year with a steamy post that had fans buzzing.
Hadid, who has always kept her private life relatively guarded, now appears more comfortable than ever in sharing glimpses of her relationship. With her career flourishing and her love life glowing, Gigi Hadid continues to redefine what it means to live authentically in the spotlight.
