Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper Were Photographed Kissing for the ...

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have not made their red carpet debut yet, but they have hit a PDA milestone, at least in paparazzi pics. For the first time, the couple was photographed kissing while dining with friends in New York City last night at Via Carota.

The kiss comes after a source told Entertainment Tonight last week why Hadid couldn’t make it to the Oscars to attend with Cooper. She was “at home with her daughter [Khai, 3, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik],” the source said.

A second source detailed how well Hadid and Cooper’s romance is going despite this missed event. “Bradley and Gigi are both genuinely so happy,” that insider said. “They’re having a great time together, doing well as a couple, and co-parenting healthily on both sides.”

“Everyone is getting along, and it’s a good dynamic among all the parties,” they continued. “Zayn is continuing to be involved as a dad. Irina [Shayk, Cooper’s ex with whom he shares 6-year-old Lea] is still doing her own thing and is happy in her own life. Everyone’s being mature and focusing on their kids.”

Hadid and Cooper were first romantically linked in October. At the end of February, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the couple’s relationship had become serious.

“They have already spoken about their future together and next steps,” that insider said. “They are great at communicating with each other in a healthy, open, and honest way. They are excited about moving forward.”
