It looks like “A Star Is Born”—again! But this time, it’s Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper making headlines, and according to those closest to the couple, their love story is getting rave reviews from her family, the toughest critics of all.
Sources tell PEOPLE that the Hadid clan is fully on board with Gigi’s new leading man. “Gigi’s family is so happy for her, and they absolutely adore Bradley,” the insider shared. “He is such a gentleman and he blends so seamlessly into their family.”

Cooper, 50, and Hadid, 30, have been quietly heating up since they were first linked in October 2023, and now it seems their relationship has gone from red-carpet whispers to full-blown family integration. Gigi’s mom, Yolanda, and sister, Bella, are apparently all in. “They love Bradley,” the source added, “but the main thing they care about is that he treats Gigi with love and respect.”
“He’s different from any of Gigi’s past relationships,” the insider emphasized, “and they’ve never seen her this happy with a partner before.” That’s saying something, considering Gigi’s exes include high-profile names like Zayn Malik (with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Khai).

It’s not just Gigi and her family that Cooper is vibing with; his daughter Lea, 7, whom he shares with ex-Irina Shayk, is also reportedly hitting it off with Khai. “Bradley’s daughter is so sweet and gentle with Khai,” said the source. Picture that blended brunch and try not to melt.

Speaking of which…
Gigi may be notoriously private, but when she posts the kiss, fans know it’s official. On May 5, she shared a 20-photo Instagram dump celebrating her 30th birthday, and nestled in the carousel was a golden nugget, a sweet, slightly blurry snap of her kissing Cooper, hands on his face, surrounded by friends and a chocolate three-tier cake. “I had the best time celebrating, and it’s a blessing to feel so loved!!” she captioned the post.
From Backyard Meet-Cute to Met Gala Magic
In her Vogue April cover story, Gigi revealed she met Cooper at a kid’s birthday party. “You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating, and even for my friends who aren’t public figures, that’s hard,” she said. “And then there’s another added layer of privacy and security.”
But even with the spotlight on, Gigi isn’t holding back anymore. While walking the red carpet at the 2025 Met Gala, she casually told Vogue’s Emma Chamberlain, “I woke up. I was with my man. We had a chill morning with some laughs.” Chamberlain looked shocked, and the internet went wild.
