Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper may be private about their relationship, but they're not shy about their love for each other.
The model, 31, and Oscar-nominated actor, 51, have largely stayed mum on details
of their romance since they were first linked together in October 2023. But after Hadid opened up about her respect and gratitude for Cooper in a March 2025 Vogue cover story, the couple cracked the door open on their relationship to the public.
Months later, they became Instagram official. The "Silver Linings Playbook" star and Guest in Residence founder have since allowed the public to catch glimpses of their romance through occasional outings captured by paparazzi and rare comments in interviews.
One recent public appearance stood out, however, as Cooper and Hadid were photographed wearing gold bands on their ring fingers while strolling the streets of Paris on Aug. 3. The accessories appeared again during the couple's outing the following day.
Neither has issued a statement on whether their jewelry choices have any significant meaning.
Take a look back at the couple's milestones during their three years together, from early dinner outings to Taylor Swift's wedding.
