Supermodel Gigi Hadid is finally opening up about her co-parenting relationship with ex Zayn Malik and her budding romance with Hollywood A-lister Bradley Cooper. In a rare interview for Vogue’s April 2025 cover story the 29-year-old model gives fans a glimpse into her personal life, motherhood, and love—on her own terms.
Co-Parenting with Zayn Malik: A “Well-Planned” Relationship
Gigi and Zayn, who share 4-year-old daughter Khai, have worked out a co-parenting system that works for them. Though they split in 2021, she says they’ve found a healthy balance when it comes to raising their daughter.
“Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,” Hadid reveals. “That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other’s backs.”
She acknowledges the challenges of parenting in the public eye, saying that despite the media’s obsession with their past relationship, they’ve prioritized Khai’s well-being above all.
“The world thinks they know everything, but at the end of the day, what matters is raising a happy, healthy kid.”
Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper: A “Romantic and Happy” Love Story
Gigi and Bradley Cooper, 50, have been quietly dating since late 2023, and though they’ve kept things low-key, Hadid finally opened up about their surprising connection.
“He gives so much to me: encouragement and belief. It’s a really happy and romantic relationship.”
The supermodel revealed that she and the Maestro actor met at a mutual friend’s child’s birthday party—a totally unexpected way for two Hollywood stars to cross paths.
“I love that he’s opened me up to new things, like going to the theater—it’s changed my life.”
While Cooper is 20 years her senior, Gigi seems unbothered by the age gap. Instead, she says she’s focused on what really matters: happiness and support.
Motherhood Lessons: “You Wake Up and Do Your Best”
Gigi also opened up about the biggest lesson she’s learned from raising Khai—and it’s something every mom can relate to.
“You wake up and do your best,” she says. “Some days are harder than others, but Khai has taught me so much about patience, joy, and just living in the moment.”
The Next in Fashion host admits that being a working mom isn’t always easy, but she’s embracing the real, raw moments of motherhood rather than chasing perfection.
With a successful fashion career, a flourishing love life, and a focus on motherhood, Gigi Hadid seems to be in a better place than ever.
While she and Zayn continue to co-parent peacefully, fans are wondering if she and Bradley will take their relationship to the next level. Marriage? A blended family? Only time will tell!
