Gigi Hadid is a huge admirer of Bradley Cooper’s culinary skills — and she’s eager to showcase them.
On her Instagram Story this past Friday, December 20, Hadid, 29, posted a picture of herself at Danny & Coop’s Cheesesteaks located in New York City.
“151 Avenue A, NY NY 10009, soft opening — Today through Sunday,” she noted, including the hours of operation. “While daily ingredients last!”
She encouraged her followers, “Do yourself a favor!”
The supermodel and Cooper, 49, have been together since October 2023 yet opt to keep their relationship details private. They connected over their experiences as parents. Hadid has a daughter, Khai, 4, with ex Zayn Malik, while Cooper shares a daughter, Lea De Seine, 7, with ex Irina Shayk.
“Both are single parents to young daughters and have a similar sense of humor,” an exclusive source confided to Us Weekly in October 2023. “It’s still a bit early to determine where their relationship might lead. Things are not that serious just yet, but the attraction is definitely there.”
A separate source informed Us that Malik, 31, is “supportive” of Hadid pursuing a relationship with the A Star Is Born director.
“They experienced a rough phase but both have matured and are prioritizing their daughter,” the second insider revealed to Us in May. “It’s essential for them that she grows up in a stable environment.”
Malik and the Guest in Residence founder had an on-and-off relationship from 2015 to 2021, and now they are focused on successfully co-parenting Khai.
Cooper and Shayk, 38, also maintain a cordial co-parenting relationship for the benefit of Lea.
“He’s the best father Lea and I could wish for,” Shayk told Elle in November 2023. “It works because we both ensure it works. … We take Lea everywhere we can. She’s very adaptable. Just two days ago, I had to go to the gym, so I got her a drawing book and said, ‘Mama’s working out.’ She spent an hour drawing. Then we headed to the Michael Kors fitting, where she met all the girls. Michael gave her a bag, and she drew a cat for him.”
Two years earlier, Shayk had described Cooper as a “full-on, hands-on dad.”
“We don’t have a nanny. Lea went on a nearly two-week trip with him — I didn’t call them once,” she mentioned to Highsnobiety in September 2021, emphasizing that neither she nor Cooper employs a nanny.
Cooper, on his end, skillfully balances fatherhood with his professional obligations. Besides acting and directing, he also operates his food truck, serving up Philly cheesesteaks, a beloved treat from his hometown.
