She hardly ever comes out with grand public statements about her relationship life, but the fans were recently surprised with a rare and affectionate shout-out to Bradley Cooper by Gigi Hadid. The scene was at the premiere of his new film, Is This Thing On?, when she bestowed a brief but genuine shout-out, dubbing him as "my love." It quickly became one of the most trending stories in their relationship.

That slight step gave us a peek at how she feels about being his public champion, but still holds to her mostly private way of loving.

Gigi Hadid and "My Love" – What She Revealed

On October 10, while Cooper's film was opening at the New York Film Festival, Gigi Hadid posted a picture on Instagram from what appeared to be an exclusive screening room. Over a picture of a huge TV with a screen grab from the movie on it, she wrote:

"Premiere night! Congratulations to my love!"

and then thanked the crew and cast and told fans to go out and watch the film when it comes out.

That outreach touched on a universal level, not just due to the intimacy of the words but because Hadid rarely uses such terms of endearment in public. It was a moment that the public and fans called one of the most glaring affirmations she has yet given.

To understand why it was an eyebrow raiser, it is useful to consider who they are and how they have built their public persona. They've been dating since about 2023, but only went "Instagram official" in May of 2025 when Gigi Hadid uploaded a birthday photo with Cooper. They'd otherwise kept things relatively low-key, limited public outings, and made few comments to the public.

Gigi Hadid has explained in interviews how Cooper supports and inspires her as an artist, saying he provides her with encouragement and trust, a rare foundation in a relationship she admires. Their relationship is most often characterized by insiders as stable, built on mutual respect, and allowing space for both their careers and kids to develop.
