her romance with boyfriend Bradley Cooper in her interview for Vogue’s April 2025 cover story published Tuesday.“Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life,” said Hadid, who described the pair’s relationship as “very romantic and happy.”Vogue confirmed that Hadid and the “A Star Is Born” actor, 50, met at a backyard birthday party for the child of a mutual friend.“You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating,” Hadid told the outlet. “And even for my friends who aren’t public figures, that’s hard.

Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people? And then there’s another added layer of privacy and security. You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deuxmoi or whatever, but you just don’t know.”The fashionista explained that she prefers to keep the romance private because “it’s just not part of our relationship to share for whatever reason.”She also spoke about how Cooper came into her life at the right time. “I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential, and then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve…and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be.”“I just feel really lucky,” Hadid added. “Yeah, lucky’s the word.”Further gushing about Cooper, Hadid said, “I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief.”Cooper and Hadid first sparked romance rumors in October 2023 after they were pictured having dinner with friends at Italian hot spot Via Carota in New York City.
