One user questioned, “Why is his face melting [?]” while another claimed, “He’s really starting to look like Mickey Rourke.” Responding to a video of the couple arriving at the venue, one person wrote, “he RUINED his face! why??!!!! [sic]”
Agreeing with that statement, “he [sic] had plastic surgery on his perfectly fine face…” Yet, not every comment was negative. One admirer wrote, “They are a hot looking [sic] couple,” and another chimed in, “They look great together!!!”

During a March 2025 interview, Hadid confirmed she had been dating Cooper for over a year. She spoke about the positive influence he has had on her, explaining, “Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life.”

However, she acknowledged that dating is tough even for her non-famous friends. According to her, the process of finding a suitable venue or deciding whether to strike up a conversation to meet someone can be difficult.
Hadid 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.”

Offering more insight into their relationship, she shared that he was on “dad duty” with Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, his daughter with ex-girlfriend and model Irina Shayk.
Cooper is not the only parent in the relationship—Hadid shares her daughter, Khai, with Zayn Malik. The child was born in September 2020. At the time, Malik posted a black-and-white photo on X showing him holding his newborn’s hand.
He announced her arrival, writing that she was “healthy & beautiful.” The singer expressed how impossible it was to put into words how he felt in that moment. He added, “The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together x. [sic]”
In 2024, Khai was featured on social media when Hadid celebrated her fourth birthday by sharing a carousel of images on Instagram. The photos showed Khai riding a pony, eating cake, floating on water, observing fish, and decorating her ice cream cup with rainbow sprinkles, among other activities.
Hadid mentioned that they celebrated Khai’s birthday over an entire week. She revealed that her daughter loves animals (including fantastical ones), music, Baby Yoda, nature, bugs, and anything miniature or squishy.
The model also shared Khai’s love for water, saying the child could stay in it “from dawn til dusk. 🐬” Continuing to describe her, Hadid wrote, “She is curious, adventurous, loving, and oh so witty ⚡️⚡️ Khai- it is my life’s greatest joy and pride to be your mama!!!!”
The model expressed gratitude to Khai for “the four best years of my life,” and added, “you remind me to live life to the fullest every day, in the most simple & beautiful ways. Your possibilities are endless, my sweetest love !!!! 🦄🪱🧁🪐🥑🧜♀️🐣🎸🏖️ YODA BEST 💚🩷.”
While they might share children with exes, Cooper and Hadid’s relationship continues to capture attention, both for their romance and public appearances and espite criticism, they remain focused on their bond and family lives.
