Gigi Hadid gave a glimpse into her nurturing, stepmom-like side as she spent quality time with Bradley Cooper’s daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, outside his luxurious Manhattan townhouse this week.
The supermodel, who is set to turn 31 later this month, appeared relaxed and cheerful as she bonded with nine-year-old Lea near the actor’s West Village home. Smiling warmly and engaging attentively, Hadid looked completely at ease in the role, highlighting how naturally she has settled into Cooper’s family life. Lea is Cooper’s daughter with his former partner, Irina Shayk, and the two have maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship since their split in 2019.
Hadid and Cooper’s romance first began quietly after they met at a children’s party in October 2023. By May 2025, they made things Instagram official, though they’ve continued to keep much of their relationship out of the spotlight, rarely appearing together at high-profile events. Despite their low-key approach, insiders and sightings suggest their bond has grown steadily stronger, particularly through shared family moments like these.
The couple are frequently seen enjoying casual outings and playdates that include both Lea and Hadid’s own five-year-old daughter, Khai, whom she shares with former fiancé Zayn Malik. Hadid and Malik are known for carefully coordinating their co-parenting schedules well in advance, especially as his busy tour commitments approach, ensuring stability for their daughter.
This latest sighting came just a day after Hadid was involved in a minor fender bender near her family’s Pennsylvania property. Witnesses noted that she handled the situation with grace, remaining calm, exchanging information responsibly, and even taking a friendly selfie with the other driver—further reflecting her composed and approachable demeanor.
Beyond her personal life, Hadid continues to juggle a thriving career, including her clothing brand, Guest in Residence, while maintaining a strong presence in the fashion industry. Still, moments like these—spending time with Lea and embracing a blended family dynamic—offer a more intimate look at her life off the runway.
Altogether, the outing painted a picture of a woman confidently balancing love, motherhood, and career, while seamlessly stepping into a meaningful role in Cooper’s family.
