Supermodel Gigi Hadid has offered a rare glimpse into her personal life, revealing a favorite homemade pasta dish that her boyfriend, actor Bradley Cooper, particularly enjoys. The disclosure came during a segment for Vogue France’s “Now Serving” series, where Hadid, 31, not only shared her culinary passion but also touched upon her relationship with Cooper, 51.
A Culinary Connection
In the video, which was uploaded on YouTube, Hadid detailed the step-by-step process of preparing a prosciutto and herb pasta. She described the dish as a reliable favorite, stating, “I’ve definitely made this for my man. He loves this.” The recipe features ingredients such as prosciutto, tomatoes, cilantro, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Hadid’s passion for cooking is a significant part of her life, often intertwined with her role as a mother to her five-year-old daughter, Khai, whom she shares with ex-partner Zayn Malik. She noted that cooking often happens when she’s on “mom duty,” humorously adding, “There’s a lot of yapping with a five-year-old.” Beyond her personal cooking, Hadid expressed a long-held dream of appearing on cooking shows to showcase her skills.
Learning the Ropes
Hadid credits her culinary education to a lifelong immersion in television cooking programs and also acknowledges her father, Mohamed Hadid, as an influence. “I’ve just been a student of television cooking for my entire life,” she explained. “Any day I was home from school, I was watching cooking.” Her father’s advice, “Cook with your heart,” has particularly resonated with her, a philosophy she shares, noting that neither of them are “big measurers” in the kitchen.
Insights into Her Relationship
Beyond the kitchen, Hadid also spoke about her relationship with Bradley Cooper in her cover story for Vogue France’s September issue. She described their connection as “beautiful” and distinct from previous relationships, highlighting “the ability to be deeply honest” and to express thoughts freely. This sentiment contrasts with past relationships, including her nearly six-year on-and-off relationship with Zayn Malik and a brief romance with Tyler Cameron.
Hadid emphasized the mutual support within her relationship with Cooper. “We don’t necessarily understand all the challenges of each other’s jobs, but the important thing is to have someone who supports you — and helps you stay grounded,” she stated. This reciprocal support system is a cornerstone of their bond.
Relationship Timeline and Speculation
Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper were first romantically linked in October 2023, following a dinner date in New York City. While the couple generally maintains a private profile, Cooper has made an appearance on Hadid’s social media. They made their relationship Instagram official in May 2025, coinciding with Hadid’s 30th birthday celebration, where she shared a photo of them kissing.
Recent public appearances have fueled speculation about the couple’s status. After attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s event at Madison Square Garden, they were observed wearing matching bands on their ring fingers, sparking rumors of a secret marriage. Following these rumors, Hadid has been seen spending time with Cooper’s mother and his daughter, Lea De Seine, who is nine years old. Cooper shares Lea with his ex-partner, model Irina Shayk, with whom he was in a relationship for four years before their separation in 2019.
Balancing Parenthood and Partnership
Both Hadid and Cooper are parents to young daughters, a shared experience that seems to inform their relationship. Hadid’s daughter, Khai, is five years old, while Cooper’s daughter, Lea, is nine. This common ground in parenthood provides another layer to their connection, as they navigate their public careers alongside family life.
Hadid’s willingness to share aspects of her personal life, from her favorite recipes to her reflections on her relationship, offers fans a more intimate look at her world beyond the runway. The prosciutto and herb pasta, a dish that has earned Cooper’s approval, serves as a simple yet meaningful symbol of their connection, rooted in shared moments and mutual appreciation.
