Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper Work Hard to Blend Their Families as Their Daughters Become Close Friends
Hollywood stars Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have been together since October 2023. Gigi has a 4-year-old daughter, Khai, from her previous relationship with British singer Zayn Malik, who was a former member of One Direction. The couple split in 2021 after an altercation between Zayn and Gigi’s mother, Yolanda. Bradley, meanwhile, co-parents his 7-year-old daughter, Lea, with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, whom he split from in 2019 after four years together.
Gigi and Bradley are both committed to blending their families and have already introduced their daughters to each other. “The girls love spending time together, which is so sweet. Gigi and Bradley are busy with work, but they also prioritize their relationship and their daughters,” a source revealed.
Despite their breakup, Irina and Bradley maintain a good friendship and share joint custody of their daughter. In fact, Irina is the one who introduced Bradley to Gigi and is happy to see the father of her child in a happy relationship. Bradley, who is also a director, takes his romance with Gigi seriously, though the couple is not rushing into marriage.
“An engagement would be a big step forward. They are serious about each other, but they’re not in a hurry to get married. Neither of them is rushing, but that doesn’t mean they’re not extremely happy together. Gigi’s free-spirited nature brings out the fun side of Bradley,” said a source close to the couple.
For Gigi and Bradley, it’s crucial that Lea and Khai get along. “Gigi is in love with Bradley, and they’re happy together. Their relationship is a big priority for her. They’re devoted parents and take this seriously. They have a strong connection with their daughters, and they’re at the center of everything they do,” the source added.
Irina and Gigi have a good relationship, and Irina has even allowed Lea to go on vacation with her dad and his new partner. Bradley, on his part, has worked to build a relationship with Zayn. “Bradley met Zayn, and they’ve sorted things out, becoming loving parents. They’ve communicated many times when it comes to their children. They’re doing their best to ensure the girls grow up in a friendly atmosphere. Lea is almost like an older sister to Khai. Gigi and Bradley are determined to make their blended family work,” said the insider.
