Bradley Cooper & Gigi Hadid’s Romance Is Reportedly Not Getting Any Support From This Key Person

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid’s relationship seems to be going from strength to strength but there is one person who is reportedly not on board with the duo’s burgeoning romance.

Cooper, 49, and Hadid, 28, were first linked in October 2023 and recently showcased their romance in a PDA-filled outing in London. While neither have spoken publicly about their relationship, all signs suggest the two are getting closer with some sources even claiming that Cooper is looking to buy property in Pennsylvania where Hadid lives with her daughter. However, the news might not sit well with the model’s ex, Zayn Malik, according to new claims.

A source told Us Weekly that the former One Direction member is struggling with his ex’s romance with the Oscar-nominated actor. “Zayn is not happy with their relationship and never will be,” claims the insider.

Malik, 31, shares 3-year-old daughter Khai with Hadid, who he dated on and off between 2015 and 2021. The couple broke it off after the model’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, accused him of pushing her during a physical altercation. Malik was charged with four criminal offenses of harassment and pled no contest while denying the allegations publicly.

“Zayn’s been trying to reform himself,” the same source told Us Weekly. “He doesn’t want to lose parental rights.”

The singer spoke briefly about his decision not to challenge Yolanda’s claims during a 2023 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “I knew what happened, and the people involved knew what happened too,” Malik said. “I just wasn’t trying to get into a negative back and forth with her [or] any sort of narrative online where my daughter was going to look back and read that.”

According to Us Weekly‘s source, Hadid has been happily moving on with Cooper who is reportedly a grounding force for her.

“He’s sober, and his [advice] comes from his own personal experiences,” the source claims. “Bradley has warned Gigi that there’s a difference between a healthy and a toxic separation.”

Cooper is a dad to 6-year-old Lea de Seine who he shares with ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk. And, if reports are to be believed, Malik isn’t the only ex who is upset by Hadid and the Maestro director’s relationship.

“Irina is not happy with Bradley for dating another supermodel, but one who is younger,” a source told Page Six back in October. Hadid is nine years younger than Shayk. “It took her by surprise.”
