Gigi Hadid Reveals the Sweet Way Bradley Cooper Was Part of Her Met Gala Day

Bradley Cooper didn’t join Gigi Hadid at the Met Gala on Monday, but turns out, he did begin the day with her. The model offered some insight into their mostly private relationship during a red carpet interview with Emma Chamberlain for Vogue and explained their routine.

Chamberlain asked Hadid how she prepared for the event, and the model gave a play-by-play of her day, saying, “I woke up, I was with my man, [Bradley Cooper]. We had a chill morning, some laughs. Then I went to my house, had an hour by myself, then took a shower, had my fitting, had chicken fingers and fries, then got into glam. And I think a little protein in the form of fried chicken helps take down the jitters a little bit.”

Hadid and Cooper have been together for a little over 18 months. While Hadid recently wore a gold ring on her left ring finger that sparked engagement rumors, a source told People earlier in the year that the milestone is a little ways off. Hadid had no ring on that finger on Met Gala night, further shutting down speculation.

Hadid and Cooper “are serious about each other, but an engagement would be a big step,” the insider said in January. “Neither are looking to rush anything, but that’s not to say they’re not very happy together.”

Hadid spoke openly about her relationship in her March Vogue interview, calling it “very romantic and happy.”

“I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential,” she said. “And then 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. Yeah, lucky’s the word.”
