The two have sparked romance rumors in recent weeks It looks as though Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper can thank Irina Shayk for their reported romance. The two sparked rumors recently when they were spotted on a weekend getaway. They were photographed enjoying dinner at Via Carota in Manhattan before heading out of New York City. Now, an insider told The Messenger that the couple can thank Cooper's ex, Irina Shayk, for bringing them together. "Gigi was introduced to Bradley through Irina [Shayk] and their mutual friends in the industry," the source told the outlet. "Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have hung out before, but it has always been friendly in social settings." The source notes that it's unclear when things became romantic between the two, but that they were initially "bonding over their daughters, when Bradley asked her out." "He pursued her and she was definitely interested and excited," the source added. "They have been casually seeing each other but it is extremely new." However, Hadid, who shares daughter Khai, 3, with ex Zayn Malik, reportedly isn't interested in anything serious at the present time. Cooper is also a father to Lea De Seine, 6, with Shayk.
