Bradley Cooper’s Romance With Gigi Hadid Threatened By His Overworking

Bradley Cooper‘s pursuit of recognition in Hollywood and his recent Oscars disappointment are reportedly straining his romance with model Gigi Hadid.

According to reports, interference from Cooper’s mother also adds to the strain. However, the couple was recently seen together enjoying a Broadway show, displaying affection.

After Cooper’s latest Oscars disappointment, his friends are reportedly worried that his relentless dedication to his craft and pursuit of recognition may jeopardize his budding romance with model Gigi Hadid.

Despite his impressive filmography and his efforts on “Maestro,” a biopic on Leonard Bernstein, which garnered multiple nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, the 12-time nominee’s inability to secure the coveted Oscar award has reportedly left him feeling defeated.

A source who spoke to the National Enquirer (per Radar Online) remarked, “Bradley is the unluckiest guy in Hollywood. He can make outrageous movies like ‘A Star is Born,’ ‘Joker,’ and ‘Maestro,’ but he’s not converting that into trophies.”

The dedicated filmmaker, who spent six years directing, co-producing, and starring in “Maestro,” was heavily criticized, particularly for his portrayal of Bernstein’s distinctive features using a prosthetic nose.

“People on social media were openly ridiculing him,” another source added.

Per the insiders, Cooper’s dedication to his career poses challenges in his relationship with Hadid, but other factors may also be straining their bond.

A tipster noted that the 28-year-old model has an “utter distaste for the Hollywood rat race,” adding that she “lives in a different world — the real world!”

“She would be a lot better off with somebody who is as down to earth as she is,” the source suggested of the supermodel.

Additionally, tensions between the couple have reportedly risen due to Cooper’s close relationship with his mother, Gloria Campano.

Insiders revealed that while Hadid initially welcomed Campano, her “constant presence” in their relationship has become a source of friction. As Cooper navigates these complexities, his romance with Hadid faces unforeseen hurdles that threaten its stability.

“Bradley’s relationship with Gigi is facing an unforeseen hurdle with Gloria, who insists on being a constant presence during their romantic outings,” a source shared, per Radar Online. “While he’s made it clear that his mother holds a special place in his life, her interference is causing tension in the romance.”

Despite recent rumors about tension in their relationship, Cooper and Hadid were spotted last month enjoying a Broadway performance of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

For the outing, Cooper, sporting a leather jacket, beanie, tan scarf, and glasses, held hands with Hadid, who rocked a stylish beige ensemble with checkered trousers, a matching button-up shirt, a leather jacket, a white T-shirt, and black leather flats. She completed her look with a matching leather bag.

The duo was also spotted attending various events together, including a group dinner for Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski’s birthday.

A source who spoke to  People Magazine revealed that despite their busy schedules, the lovebirds always find time to enjoy each other’s company, whether it’s strolling through London or dining out after the Golden Globes.

Witnesses described that they “looked happy together,” adding: “They weren’t overly affectionate, but it was still obvious that they were dating. There were lots of loving glances and flirting.”

Speculation about Cooper and Hadid’s relationship began swirling in October 2023 after they were spotted leaving the same New York City restaurant together.

Photographs of them in a black SUV further fueled rumors, with the “Silver Linings Playbook” star at the wheel and Hadid in the passenger seat.

Despite initial reports of a casual relationship, sources revealed to People that Hadid had a “crush” on Cooper for some time.

“They are having fun,” the insider shared. “I don’t see anything serious happening right away, if at all. It appears super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, and busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles. It’s cute … and there is an attraction.”

By December 2023, insiders hinted at a more serious turn in their relationship, suggesting that the couple are “getting more and more serious.”
