How does Leonardo DiCaprio feel about his friend Bradley Cooper dating Gigi Hadid? Drama explored

For those who do not know, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper have been friends for a long time. But sources close to DiCaprio reveal there has been a strain in their friendship ever since Cooper started dating supermodel Gigi Hadid. The reason behind the strain is that Gigi Hadid and Leonardo DiCaprio were briefly romantically involved a few years ago.

Back in 2020, insider sources had this to say about Leonardo:

"Leo is definitely pursuing Gigi."

Another source confirmed:

"Gigi is smitten."

Now, as Gigi and Bradley are dating, another insider source revealed:

"The dynamic is mega awkward because Gigi fell hard for Leo back when they hooked up, but he wanted to play the field, so things fizzled out. At the time, there was a lot of resentment from Gigi and her friends towards Leo... Bradley came onto the scene soon after that, and Leo kept his distance, assuming it wouldn't last very long. But it's turned out to be the real deal."

Is there any bad blood between Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper?

As Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid's relationship keeps getting stronger, Leonardo DiCaprio has kept a far distance from his old-time friend. An insider source revealed that Cooper is not as close with DiCaprio anymore, because he did not want:

"to stay friendly with someone who treated his girl shabbily."

The insider source continued to explain the situation between the two actors. They said:

"So that's where they're at. All Leo can do is hope Bradley and Gigi split up and stick with his other pals in the meantime. None of them holds a candle in friendship terms to Bradley, though... Leo loved him like a brother and misses him like crazy. He's sulking that Bradley's broken the bro code and really doesn't understand what he sees in Gigi."
