Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper fueled more dating rumors when they were photographed arriving back in New York City in the same car yesterday after an apparent weekend trip. TMZ reports that Hadid was in the passenger seat while Cooper drove. Page Six ran more photos here. The model was seen taking “a few overnight bags” out of the trunk. Cooper did the same “shortly after,” TMZ wrote, noting that the two stars staggered their exits.
Hadid and Cooper were first photographed together on Thursday getting dinner at Via Carota. Both are single, with Hadid very recently ending her year-long romantic “situationship” with Leonardo DiCaprio.
A source explained to Us Weekly that part of the reason that Hadid ended the fling was because she didn’t feel DiCaprio’s lifestyle quite complemented hers as a parent to 3-year-old Khai, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik. Cooper, of course, is a parent too, sharing 6-year-old daughter Lea de Seine with his ex Irina Shayk.
DiCaprio and Hadid “both travel a lot by nature of their jobs,” the source said. “But Gigi is taking more work that allows her to spend more time with her child. And Leo still travels a lot and likes to go out a lot. And there’s temptation and all those factors had been concerns of hers.”
“She doesn’t want her boyfriend to be in and out going to clubs and events and working all the time,” the source continued. “She wants someone to be hands-on and a partner. [She] doesn’t want to date someone seriously unless she can introduce them to her child.”
