Quick Answer

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are dating — that part is confirmed. They have been together since October 2023 and made the relationship public in 2025. However, the couple has NOT confirmed any marriage or engagement. Reports in early October 2026 claimed they secretly wed after being photographed wearing gold bands in Paris, but neither Hadid nor Cooper has verified that claim, so their married status remains unconfirmed.

Relationship Timeline

  • October 2023 — Cooper and Hadid are first linked after being photographed leaving Via Carota, an Italian restaurant in New York’s West Village, together. Days later they are spotted holding hands on a walk through a New York park.
  • January 2024 — The pair dine at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles after the Golden Globes, joined by Cooper’s mother, Gloria. Onlookers describe flirting and loving glances between them.
  • March 2025 — Hadid publicly acknowledges the relationship for the first time in a Vogue cover interview, describing it as having a “very romantic and happy dynamic.” She reveals they actually met at a backyard birthday party for a mutual friend’s child.
  • May 2025 — Hadid makes the romance Instagram official, sharing a carousel from her 30th birthday celebration that includes a photo of her kissing Cooper beside her birthday cake.
  • September 2026 — In an interview, Hadid calls the relationship deeply honest and different from anything she has experienced before, praising Cooper’s encouragement and belief in her. She also credits her boyfriend, a fluent French speaker, with showing her a new side of Paris.
  • August 3, 2026 — The couple sparks marriage speculation after being photographed in Paris each wearing a gold band on the left ring finger. Reports identify the jewelry as Boucheron wedding bands.
  • October 3, 2026 — Cooper and Hadid are photographed leaving a private dinner in Paris wearing the gold bands once again. Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice outlet claims, citing insiders, that the couple quietly married and chose not to announce it — a claim no reputable outlet or representative has verified.

Latest Updates

As of October 2026, the dominant storyline around the couple is the secret-wedding rumor. According to the insiders quoted by Naughty But Nice, Cooper and Hadid wanted an intimate, family-centered wedding without photographers or a big announcement. The gossip site DeuxMoi, however, previously reported a source describing the rings as representing a “promise, commitment vibe” rather than a confirmed wedding.

What is certain is that neither Cooper nor Hadid — nor their representatives — has confirmed any engagement or marriage. Both continue to wear the gold bands in public, most recently on their October 2026 Paris outing. Their relationship itself appears strong: Hadid’s September 2026 comments about their deep honesty suggest a couple very much still together and committed.

Until one of them speaks on the record, the marriage question remains unanswered — but the romance, at least, is very real.
