Gigi Hadid is getting candid about what makes her romance with Bradley Cooper unlike the relationships that came before him.
In a new interview with Vogue France, the 31-year-old supermodel offered a rare glimpse inside her notoriously private relationship with the Oscar-nominated actor.
“What is beautiful about my current relationship, and so different from what I have experienced, is an ability to be deeply honest,” Hadid told the outlet. “To say what you think, when you think it.”

When the interviewer noted that kind of honesty isn’t always easy, Hadid didn’t hesitate.
“I know. But if that’s impossible, it probably means he’s not the right person,” she said.
Hadid’s candid comments come weeks after she and Cooper, 51, fueled marriage speculation when they were photographed in Paris wearing matching bands on their left ring fingers.
Page Six reported earlier this month that the rings were Boucheron wedding bands, though neither Hadid nor Cooper publicly confirmed that they had tied the knot. Days later, Us Weekly reported, according to a source, that the jewelry was instead a pair of “promise rings” and that the couple was not married.
The pair, who have been romantically linked since late 2023, have largely kept their relationship away from the spotlight.
Hadid told Vogue in 2025 that the couple’s decision to remain private wasn’t necessarily strategic.
“It’s just not part of our relationship to share for whatever reason,” she said at the time, describing their relationship as “very romantic and happy.”
That privacy began to shift in May 2025, when Hadid made the romance Instagram official while celebrating her 30th birthday.
The model shared a series of photos from her birthday party, including one of her and Cooper kissing in front of a multi-tiered cake.
“I feel so lucky to be 30!” Hadid wrote at the time. “I feel so lucky for every high and low, for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me.”
She added that she felt “so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans.”
Now, more than a year later, Hadid appears to be settling into a quieter chapter.
Asked by Vogue France how she was feeling, Hadid said friends have noticed a change.
“Right now my friends are saying to me: Gigi, what’s going on? Looks like you’re 19 again,” she said. “I just think I’m… serene.”
Part of that serenity appears to come from the life she has built away from the fashion industry’s constant spotlight.
Hadid told the outlet that spending time in the countryside with her daughter, partner, friends and animals helps ground her before she returns to work.
“Living in the countryside surrounded by animals, with my daughter, my partner, my friends, is part of what recharges my batteries,” she said. “It allows me to appreciate the richness of fashion when I come back to it.”
