Hollywood Star Bradley Cooper and Supermodel Gigi Hadid’s Romance Takes Flight at JFK
The high-profile couple, linked since late 2023, showcased their increasingly serious relationship with a stylish joint appearance at New York’s bustling airport, following recent public declarations and a romantic birthday kiss.
New York, NY – On Saturday, August 23, 2025, acclaimed actor Bradley Cooper, 50, and global supermodel Gigi Hadid, 30, were captured by photographers at the check-in area of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The pair, whose relationship has steadily progressed over the past year, exuded a blend of casual comfort and undeniable style as they navigated the busy terminal, marking another significant public appearance together. Images captured by TheImageDirect.com show the two engaged in conversation, with Hadid notably holding her passport and boarding pass, suggesting a shared journey.
Hadid, known for her trendsetting fashion, sported a vibrant pink cardigan sweater layered over a crisp white crop top. She paired this with light-washed denim jeans, white ankle socks, and classic brown loafers, completing her travel ensemble with a chic brown shoulder bag. Her effortless look underscored her status as a fashion icon even in transit.
Meanwhile, the multi-talented Cooper, an Oscar-nominated actor and director, maintained a cool and understated aesthetic. He was seen in a black Adidas jacket, complemented by tan trousers and black sneakers, embodying a relaxed yet put-together demeanor fitting for an international celebrity.
The duo’s romance first garnered media attention in October 2023 when they were spotted dining together in New York City. What began as discreet outings gradually deepened, with a source close to the couple confirming to PEOPLE by summer 2024 that their connection had evolved into a “full-blown relationship.” The source elaborated on their dynamic, stating, “They are both busy but manage to spend time together and are enjoying each other. I wasn’t sure this was anything other than a casual fling when it started, but it has grown more serious.”
The relationship moved further into the public eye in May of this year, when Hadid subtly made things “Instagram official.” Celebrating her 30th birthday, she shared intimate snapshots from the festivities, including one particularly tender moment where she and the Maestro director were seen kissing in front of a grand, three-tier chocolate birthday cake. In her heartfelt birthday post, Hadid expressed gratitude, writing, “I feel so lucky to be 30! I feel so lucky for every high and low — for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all! I’m so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!!” She continued, “So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week… I am grateful and honored to take on a new decade.”
Further cementing their bond, Hadid offered a rare public glimpse into their dynamic during an interview for the March issue of Vogue. She described their relationship as a “very romantic and happy dynamic,” emphasizing the maturity and mutual respect that underpins their partnership. “To find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be. I just feel really lucky,” she told the magazine. Hadid also highlighted her profound admiration for Cooper’s creative prowess, adding, “I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief.”
From initial whispers to public declarations and shared travel, Cooper and Hadid’s journey signifies a compelling chapter in their respective lives. Their latest appearance at JFK underscores a relationship that has, despite their 20-year age difference, blossomed into a deeply valued and public connection built on mutual admiration and happiness.
