“They have been casually seeing each other but it is extremely new,” the source continues. “Gigi has expressed she does not want a serious relationship. They have a lot in common, and both relate to being parents in the industry. She wants to get into acting and is intrigued by Bradley’s perspective and guidance. It is very casual at this point.”


Cooper and Shayk dated from 2015 to 2019, welcoming their daughter Lea De Seine in 2017. By all accounts, the former couple appear to have kept things amicable and even enjoyed a vacation together in August. Shayk is also moving on and has recent been linked to Tom Brady.
