Weeks ago, rumors of Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper‘s engagement went flying as their daughters reportedly grew closer, and now, her ex-boyfriend, Zayn Malik, might have given his approval. In the thick of a possible marriage, a source claimed that the model has become a “mother figure” to Cooper’s daughter, Lea, whom he shares with Irina Shayk. The couple seemingly attempts to blend their families, and the Hollywood veteran has also taken a similar role in the life of Hadid’s daughter, Khai, whose dad, Malik, appeared to support their bond.
Gigi Hadid treats Bradley Cooper’s daughter as her own, ‘source’ claims
A source exclusively informed the Daily Mail about the connection between Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper and their daughters with their previous partners. The update came after Cooper’s daughter, Lea, and Hadid stepped out for an outing in New York City as rumors of the couple’s engagement and impending nuptials continue to make the rounds online. The publication shared photos of the supermodel and Lea from their casual girls’ day out in the city as they chatted away and looked quite blissful doing so.
The insider dished that Hadid treats Lea “as if she were her own,” and the 8-year-old thinks of her as a “mother figure in return.” Cooper’s ex and the mother of his child, Irina Shayk, “fully supports” his present girlfriend’s “close bond” with their little girl. Moreover, Lea shares a “big sister” bond and a “strong relationship” with the supermodel’s daughter. “Khai has grown up with Bradley and Lea as a regular part of her life, and she sees Bradley as a father figure,” the insider apprised.
In another revelation, the source confirmed that Gigi Hadid’s ex and baby daddy, Zayn Malik, has also had a change of heart about Bradley Cooper’s involvement with their daughter. Earlier this year, US Weekly reported that Malik was “not happy” with Hadid and Cooper’s relationship. However, the Daily Mail’s source stated that the singer has grown supportive of the couple and the actor’s bond with his little girl, and that “there is nothing but love” in their unconventionally “blended family.”
Further debunking marriage rumors, the insider added that Hadid “truly believes she’s found her other half” in Cooper but clarified “neither of them feels the need to rush.” Sources have previously suggested that a new ring she wore on her birthday hinted at a proposal.
