2023 will go down in history as the year of celebrity divorce-ageddon, but we might have hope that love isn’t dead after all.
In a year full of celebrity relationship deaths, it seems we have a new birth on the horizon.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid has been spotted spending some quality time with a-list actor Bradley Cooper.

You might be thinking, ‘isn’t there a bit of an age difference there’?
Yes, yes there is. 20 years to be exact.
Hadid is 28-years-young and Cooper is creeping up on 50 at the ripe age of 48.
Secondly, this kind of relationship isn’t actually unprecedented for the pair.
Back in 2013, Cooper was linked to British actress Suki Waterhouse who is 17 years his junior; whereas just last year Hadid was confirmed to be casually dating 48-year-old Leonardo Dicaprio.
The beginning of the end for Hadid and Dicaprio seemed to be when he was photographed at Coachella getting cozy with Irina Shayk.
If you’re wondering why that name sounds familiar, it’s because Shayk is Cooper’s ex-partner of four years and the mother of his six-year-old daughter, Lea.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel is also a parent. She shares three-year-old daughter Khai with ex Zayn Malik.
After Dicaprio and Shayk were photographed together and rumours started circling, Hadid – who rarely speaks publicly on her dating life – shared a photo to her Instagram story that conveyed a very clear message.
The image featured 87-year-old June holding up a whiteboard with her one-word dating advice: ‘Don’t’.
The pair’s relationship was later confirmed to be officially over in September, 2023.
Shayk, who split with Cooper in 2019, has also been photographed and appeared to be friends with Hadid in the past.
Shayk and Cooper have made it clear that they are not just co-parents but also close friends, being spotted together several times in public (without their daughter) and even going as far as to take a tropical getaway together in August, 2022.
There were whispers of a possible reconciliation between the pair but the dating rumours surrounding Hadid and Cooper seems to have put those to rest.
But what evidence is there that Cooper and Hadid are actually together?
Well, we’ve put together a timeline of all the evidence, so take a look and decide for yourself if you think the rumours are true.

The duo were first spotted by the Daily Mail, seemingly out on a date at a popular New York City restaurant.
The pair were photographed leaving together and getting into the same car after dinner at the celeb hotspot Via Carota.

The first incident could be passed off as just a platonic meeting, except for the fact that Hadid and Cooper were spotted together for a second time just days later.
This time the pair were photographed together in Cooper’s black Mercedes SUV, seemingly returning from a weekend getaway.
Cooper dropped Hadid off at her home, where she was seen removing two overnight bags from the back of his car.

After just two sightings, an insider source has spoken.
Talking to Us Weekly, the source said that despite their age gap, Cooper and Hadid have found they ‘have a lot in common’.
“They’re both single parents to a young daughter ,and they share a similar sense of humor.”
Hadid is a single mum to three-year-old Khai, who she shares with One Direction alum, Zayn Malik.
The source told Us Weekly that Hadid is open to the idea of getting to know Cooper better but, “has no intention of introducing Khai to anybody she dates unless she’s in a fully committed relationship.”
Apparently the duo met through a mutual friend and Hadid is ‘really enjoying spending time’ together.
“It’s still far too early to know where things might be headed,” the source said, “things aren’t that serious right now, [but] the attraction is there.”
