Gigi Hadid has sparked backlash from fans following a social media post featuring Bradley Cooper, with everyone saying the same thing.
In Vogue’s April cover story, Gigi, 30, gave a little background on how she and Bradley, 50, first crossed paths — and no, it wasn’t at some glitzy fashion week party.
“You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating, and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard,” she told the outlet. “Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people?”
She continued: “And then there's another added layer of privacy and security. You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deuxmoi or whatever, but you just don't know."
Gigi revealed that she and Bradley first met at a backyard birthday party for a mutual friend’s child — a low-key encounter that seems to have sparked something major.
And now, just months later, it’s clear the connection is more than just a fling as the pair have soft launched their relationship.
The 30-year-old recently shared a carousel of images on Instagram to celebrate her birthday, writing: "I feel so lucky to be 30!
"I feel so lucky for every high and low- for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all! I’m so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!!
"So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week. I had the best time celebrating, and it’s a blessing to feel so loved!! I am grateful and honored to take on a new decade."
One of the images was of Gigi and Bradley sharing a kiss.
While the message is innocent enough, the comments have been flooded with people giving their thoughts on her relationship with Bradley.
"Boyfriend old enough to be her dad," one person wrote.
A second added: "Holy crap he’s 50 and she’s 30. Let’s please not normalize this."
While a third person said: "Bradley Cooper [in] his early 20's: 'Where's my future wife? Oh I guess she's not born yet."
Putting those comments aside, it seems as if the pair are happy and even have the support of Gigi's family.
“Gigi’s family is so happy for her and they absolutely adore Bradley,” a source told PEOPLE. “He is such a gentleman and he blends so seamlessly into their family. Gigi and Bradley have a lot in common and his daughter, Lea, is so sweet and gentle with Khai.”
Bradley shares 7-year-old Lea De Seine with ex Irina Shayk, while Gigi co-parents 4-year-old Khai with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik.
And according to the insider, Gigi’s inner circle is fully onboard with the new relationship.
“Yolanda [Hadid] and Bella [Hadid] love Bradley but the main thing they care about is that he treats Gigi with love and respect,” the source added. “Bradley is different from any of Gigi’s past relationships and they’ve never seen her this happy with a partner before.”
