Bradley Cooper & Gigi Hadid are ‘having fun together’ but is it just ‘Maestro’ promo??

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid appear to be dating. They were seen together late last week, in what appeared to be a dinner date at Via Carota in New York (they both live in NYC). He’s 48, she’s 28. Both are single parents with somewhat complicated co-parenting situations. He’s from the Philly suburbs, she has a country home in Northern Pennsylvania where she rides horses. I still don’t know what they could talk about, honestly, but here we are. It appears that B-Coop and Gigi spent the weekend together.

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid were spotted together in the Big Apple once again. Three days after they were spotted leaving dinner in New York City, the two were photographed on Sunday riding in the same car, with Cooper, 48, behind the wheel. Supermodel Hadid, 28, could be seen in dark jeans and a cream-colored sweater as she was photographed exiting the vehicle in another image.

The Maestro actor/director sported jeans, a T-shirt and baseball cap as he was photographed carrying a duffel bag and wearing a backpack.

At first, Gigi’s people weren’t talking and neither were Cooper’s. Then something changed by Monday evening, and People Mag had this exclusive:

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are “having fun” together. After the model and the Maestro star were spotted together in New York City twice in the last several days, a source tells PEOPLE the two are enjoying getting to know each other but are keeping things casual for now.

“They are having fun,” the source says. “She’s independent, busy, and her days are filled with responsibilities so I don’t see anything serious happening right away if at all.”

However, the insider reveals that Hadid, 28, has “had sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while” and might be open to exploring more than friendship with the actor, 48.

“[They have] things in common so it’s possible to see it progress,” the source continues. “It appears super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles. It’s cute…and there is an attraction.”

The source adds that Hadid — in addition to modeling, working on her fashion line and raising her 3-year-old daughter, Khai — has an interest in doing some acting, which could be a point of connection for her and Cooper.

My question: does Gigi have a bad picker? I’m really asking because I can’t decide. While it ended so badly, I sort of understood why Gigi and Zayn Malik made sense together at the time, although I always thought she was more into him than he was into her. Post-Zayn, she’s dated utter randos, then Leo DiCaprio and now Bradley Cooper.

I’ve also started to develop a theory that this is all some “undercover promotion” on Bradley’s part – his offensive prosthetic nose will be seen in Maestro in December, a film where he directed himself playing Leonard Bernstein. No one knows when the SAG-AFTRA strike will end and Maestro doesn’t have a SAG-AFTRA waiver. So he’s doing what he can to keep his name out there. I like my theory!!
