Gigi Hadid broke her usual silence about her romance with Bradley Cooper in a recent post that turned heads. The supermodel shared an Instagram Story from a private screening of his new film Is This Thing On?, and on top of the photo she wrote “Premiere night! Congratulations to my love!” It was one of the most direct public acknowledgements she has given since the couple were first linked about two years ago.
Her tone felt warm, supportive, and unmistakably personal. The message wasn’t just about the movie—it read like a declaration of how she views their relationship. It arrived amid swirling rumors about where the romance stands and whether talk of a future together is premature. The “my love” moment became a small but loud answer to what people have been asking for months.
According to insiders, the pair are serious but not rushing the next step. They are reportedly navigating busy careers, parenthood, and blended families with care. Gigi has daughter Khai with her ex Zayn Malik and Bradley is co-parenting daughter Lea with his ex Irina Shayk. A source told People: “Their schedules are packed but they’ve figured out a rhythm that works.”
In earlier remarks, Gigi described their bond as “very romantic and happy.” She said she deeply respects Bradley as a creative and that his encouragement gives her belief in herself. “He gives so much to me: encouragement and just belief,” she told Vogue. That kind of admiration is rare in celebrity relationships that often lean into spectacle rather than substance.
But the public comment did raise eyebrows. Some fans cheered her openness, writing things like “It’s nice to see genuine love” and “She finally said what we all suspected.” Others questioned whether the message was more show than sentiment. One commenter asked: “If this is so private why go public with ‘my love’ in a post?” The tension between intimacy and public image is very much alive here.
A behind–the–scenes moment captured by a fan added more texture. One video showed Gigi laughing with her stylist before the screening. She asked playfully, “Do you think ‘my love’ is too much?” The stylist replied, “Nope. It’s perfect for the vibe.” That little exchange suggests that even this seemingly spontaneous moment was calculated to balance privacy, emotion and public presence.
The age difference between them—Gigi is 30, Bradley is 50—continues to draw commentary too. Some critics suggest that the age gap and the fact both have children from previous relationships add complexity to any talk of “forever.” Others argue that those very details make the pairing more grounded and modern. In either case, the phrase “my love” felt like a bold step in a relationship that has been mostly kept behind doors.
Their romance began quietly. They were first spotted together publicly in late 2023 and made things Instagram official in May 2025 when Gigi used her 30th-birthday post to share a photo of them kissing.
Since then they’ve maintained a low-key profile, choosing private dinners, home-based evenings and co-parenting setups that reflect preferences for normalcy. Gigi once told Vogue, “You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating… we are not interested in giving everyone our whole story.”
Even though this Instagram Story was brief, it carried weight. For years Gigi has carefully managed her public and private life. Her rare public acknowledgement of Bradley signalled she is comfortable shifting that boundary. The phrase “my love” may be simple words but in the world of celebrity relationships it speaks volumes. It says she is proud, connected, and unafraid to let it show.
Fashion watchers also noticed the implicit message in her post. Gigi’s support for Bradley’s film, coupled with her public phrase, seemed to align their personal and professional worlds. It wasn’t just “my love” for a boyfriend—it read as “my love” for a partner whose work she respects and champions. That kind of alignment is rare and provoked discussions about what modern power couples look like.
Not everyone is convinced it’s all genuine though. Some observers worry the public display is part message, part brand. “Celebrity relationships often perform for the public,” one trend watcher said. “When you are that careful with words you are sending a signal.” Others countered that genuine connections still need moments of visibility. If love exists but stays hidden it cannot breathe. Gigi’s post brings the debate into focus.
