Gigi Hadid, 30, and Bradley Cooper, 50, have giddy FaceTime with huge A-list pal during loved-up outing
Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper couldn't have looked any happier as they enjoyed some quality time together in New York City on Monday - along with a famous friend.
The couple FaceTimed Bradley's pal Will Arnett while out on a dinner date at Il Mulino.
Bradley, 50, was absolutely beaming catching up with the Arrested Development star as Gigi, 30, doted over her boyfriend, caressing his cheek and tenderly placing her hand beside his neck.
The A-list model even appeared to say hello to the comedian, 55, as Bradley seemingly included her in on the call.
While the couple generally keep a low-profile since beginning a romance in 2023, they appeared more comfortable than ever with the PDA.
Not only could Gigi hardly take her hands off Bradley during the call, the couple exuded relationship goals as they strolled down the street holding hands.
As usual, the catwalk queen was working the latest trends from head-to-toe with a slick, side-parted hairstyle, a yellow maxi skirt teamed with a matching collared shirt, and leather jacket.
She embraced the visible sock and loafer trend as well.
Bradley kept it casual in a black button down, trousers, rugged trainers, and camouflage print hat.
Perhaps Bradley and Will were were brainstorming about the new movie they are working on, Is This Thing On?, a comedy they were spotted filming earlier this year.
The film stars Will and is directed by Bradley, who co-wrote the film with Arnett and Mark Chappell. The Hangover star also has a role in the movie.
Not are the duo colleagues, they are also longtime friends and former neighbors.
During an appearance last year on Arnett's podcast Smartless, Bradley revealed how the actor's straight talk early in his career helped him get clean and sober from cocaine and alcohol.
Bradley shared with listeners that he met Will through his ex-wife Amy Poehler, whom he appeared with in Wet Hot American Summer in 2001.
It was a dinner with Will where he made a fool of himself that made him realize how bad his addiction had gotten.
'I remember being at the dinner thinking I was so funny, and I thought, these two guys who are my heroes thought that I was so funny,' the actor, who is now sober, recalled.
However he said Will didn't find his antics particularly funny.
He remembered the 30 Rock actor telling him, "'You were a real a*****e,"' which was the straight talk he needed to realize the error of his ways.
'That was like the first time I ever realized I had a problem with drugs and alcohol,' he explained. 'It was Will saying that to me. And I'll just never forget it. I was like, "Oh the guy that I think is doing mean humor is telling me the truth about that."'
Meanwhile, Gigi and Bradley have been going from strength to strength since late 2023.
Last month Gigi finally made their relationship Instagram official as she shared snaps from her star-studded April birthday bash.
She uploaded a roundup of images, and nestled into the post was a snapshot of her passionately kissing her beau.
The beauty affectionately held his face in her manicured hands as they lip-locked behind her multi-tier chocolate birthday cake.
'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!' she said at the start of her caption.
The Guest in Residence designer subtly gave a nod to her romance as she continued, '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.'
Recently the mom-of-one recently gave some insight into their bond.
Speaking to Vogue in March, she said being with the actor has helped to give her a 'normal experience of dating.'
'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,' she shared.
'You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard. Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people?' Hadid mused.
She reflected, 'I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential, and then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve… and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be.
'I just feel really lucky. Yeah, lucky's the word.'

Boos, cheers and a heavy dose of irony as Trump takes in Les Mis against backdrop of LA protests
'Do you hear the people sing? / Singing the song of angry men? / It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!' When the rousing anthem of revolution filled the Kennedy Center on Wednesday night, Donald Trump may have had a Pavlovian response along the lines of 'Get me Stephen Miller' or 'Send in the marines'. We will never know. The tuxedo-clad US president had stood on a red carpet, accompanied by first lady Melania in a long black dress, promising a 'golden era' for America before attending the musical Les Misérables, which translates as The Miserable Ones or The Wretched. The story of Les Mis is inspired by the June Rebellion, an 1832 insurrection by republicans against the authoritarianism of a newly established French king. No one is expecting a replay from Republicans in June 2025. Characters include Jean Valjean, who is imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread then seeks redemption, and Inspector Javert, who is obsessed with law and order and hunts Valjean without mercy. One reporter asked Trump whether he identifies more with Valjean or Javert. 'Oh, that's a tough one,' chuckled the wannabe strongman who sent troops to crush immigration protests in Los Angeles and is about to stage a tank parade on his birthday. 'You better answer that one, honey,' he deflected to Melania. 'I don't know.' It was Trump's first production at the Kennedy Center, the performing arts complex where he pulled a Viktor Orbán and seized control in February. He pushed out the centre's former chair, fired its longtime president and pledged to overhaul an institution that he criticized as too woke. But ticket sales have fallen since and some performers have cancelled shows. On Wednesday, as he took his seat, 78-year-old Trump was greeted with a high-octane mix of cheers and boos that stopped after a round of 'USA' chants. Several drag queens in full regalia sat in the audience, presumably in response to Trump's criticism of the venue for hosting drag shows. One person shouted 'Viva Los Angeles!' as Trump stepped out of the presidential box at the intermission. The president's appearance was meant to boost fundraising for the Kennedy Center and he said donors raised more than $10m. But Maga's efforts to break into the thespian world went about as well as Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Red carpet arrivals for the show were a far cry from the glamour of Cannes, Hollywood or London's West End. Instead of crowds of fans clamouring for autographs and selfies, Trump and his allies walked through an eerily deserted Hall of Nations and looked unsure whether to answer questions yelled by the media. Those who did revelled in cultural ignorance. First came Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump campaign manager who has faced allegations of sexual harassment. He said: 'What's amazing is, out of all the years I've been in Washington DC, I've never been in this building.' JD Vance, the vice-president, walked the red carpet with wife Usha, now on the Kennedy Center's board of trustees, and denied that Trump had staged a 'hostile takeover'. He then tweeted: 'About to see Les Miserables with POTUS at the Kennedy Center. Me to Usha: so what's this about? A barber who kills people? Usha; [hysterical laughter].' Accompanied by his wife, the actor Cheryl Hines, Robert F Kennedy Jr recalled how his uncle, President John F Kennedy – whose giant bust looms in the atrium – used to say the Greeks were remembered for their architecture, sculpture, plays and poetry. 'A civilisation ultimately is judged based upon its culture and its art. He wanted to make sure that American civilisation would be judged by that and President Trump shares that vision.' Trump spent last Saturday night with Mike Tyson watching people beat the hell out of each other behind a chain-link fence in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which is quite possibly how American civilisation will actually be judged. Indeed, on his watch, the Kennedy Center no longer feels very Kennedy-esque. The atmosphere is different from the days when Democrats Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi glided in for the annual Kennedy Center Honors. Framed portraits of the Trumps and the Vances are mounted on a marble wall and, on Wednesday, were bathed in holy light. Washington is now a city under occupation. The president, who reportedly once derided 'shithole countries' in Africa, walked in beneath national flags that include Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe and past the opera house stage door. His impromptu press conference was a surreal combination of theatre and geopolitics, veering from his favourite musicals one moment to the prospect of Middle East war the next. 'I love Les Mis,' Trump said. 'We've seen it many times. We love it. One of my favourites.' He was untroubled by reports that understudies may perform due to boycotts by cast members. 'I couldn't care less,' he said. 'Honestly, I couldn't. All I do is run the country well.' Then on Iran: 'They can't have a nuclear weapon. Very simple. They can't have a nuclear weapon. We're not going to allow that.' Then back to showbiz. Brian Glenn of Real America's Voice, who is congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend, proclaimed: 'Mr President, we're making theatre great again, aren't we tonight?… You're bringing class back. The golden era of theatre!' Trump lapped it up as a cat does milk. 'And we have a golden era here in the country,' he said. 'We're bringing the country back fast and I'm very proud to have helped Los Angeles survive. Los Angeles right now, if we didn't do what we did, would be burning to the ground.' Glenn wasn't done. 'You're a New Yorker. You've been to a million theatres. Do you remember your first theatre production that you attended?' Trump looked pensive, as if mulling over countless nights absorbing the works of Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, Tom Stoppard, Tennessee Williams and August Wilson. 'A long time ago,' he mused. 'I would say maybe it was Cats.' Glenn put the same question to Melania, who had held Trump's hand while maintaining a sphinx-like expression. She cited The Phantom of the Opera, which must have been music to the ears of man whose cultural hinterland runs the gamut from 1980 to 1989. But on the night that Maga stormed America's citadel of culture, one man was nowhere to be seen. Elon Musk's banishment continues despite his recent attempts to end his feud with the president. Perhaps the tech bro was out there somewhere in the gloomy streets of Washington, channelling Les Mis's Éponine: On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him 'til morning … Without me His world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known

Real reason Taylor Swift deleted pictures of Blake Lively as fans call out missing posts
Justin Baldoni defenders have accused Taylor Swift of deleting photos featuring her former friend Blake Lively from her Instagram account in recent days. Fans have highlighted posts that highlighted the bond between the 35-year-old pop superstar and the 37-year-old actress, who recently subpoenaed Taylor's longtime nemesis Scooter Braun in her ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, 41. Many of those photos of the former friends — which have long been preserved online — are nowhere to be found on Taylor's account, leading Blake's biggest critics to claim that Taylor wiped them from the site after falling out with the Gossip Girl star. The latest claims were made just days after Baldoni's $400 million defamation suit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, her publicist and the New York Times was thrown out by a judge. But the real reason those posts are no longer on Taylor's Instagram is more complicated. As fans familiar with the singer–songwriter's complicated history have pointed out online, the post's absence doesn't have anything to do with Taylor and Blake's fractured relationship. In August of 2017, the singer–songwriter shocked her followers by deleting her social media headers on multiple platforms and wiping her posts, including on Instagram. The move was a promotional stunt to prepare for the release of her sixth studio album Reputation, which was released in November of that year. Among the posts that Baldoni's most parasocial defenders cited as evidence that Swift allegedly wiped Lively from her feed was a photo of Swift holding an adorable koala while Lively petted its face and neck and stared into its eyes. The post featured a gushing comment that now read as ironic after the behind-the-scenes collapse of Taylor and Blake's friendship 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE! You're a wonderful friend, to humans and koalas alike,' the Shake It Off singer wrote. 'I absolutely love you 😘😘😘.' The post was referenced in conspiratorial videos shared by Lively's critics on Instagram and in posts highlighting Taylor's alleged social media cleanse on Reddit. But commenters clarified that the birthday post, along with others featuring Blake or referencing her were lost when Taylor culled her posts in 2017, long before Blake and Justin's dueling lawsuits that led to her falling out with Taylor. Another widely shared posts featured a pumpkin pie that Blake had either bake or procured for Taylor that featured a banner reading 'Happy Thanksgiving Birthday' and featuring cute figurines modeled after two of Taylor's Scottish Fold cats. But that photo also appears to have predated the 2017 disappearance of Taylor's social media history. One photo that was deleted in the 2017 sweep featured Taylor and Blake cuddling with a Koala and had a birthday caption dedicated to the actress Another photo deleted before their falling out showed a pumpkin pie Blake made or procured for Taylor with figurines of her Scottish fold cats on it The former pals were snapped in midair during a trip to Australia in a long-gone post View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) The screenshot features an old profile photo of Taylor and long-outdated Instagram design elements further indicating that the screenshots were taken years ago. A third post included a photo of Blake and Taylor snapped in midair as they jumped up in front of a theater marquee at a theme park in Australia. 'Yesterday was such an amazing day off-- roller coasters, kangaroos and LOLs with @blakelively,' she wrote, before noting that she would next be performing in Adelaide. Although Taylor currently has few photos with Blake on her Instagram, the actress isn't completely absent. She's featured in some group shots, including in photos from a 2019 Christmas party featuring many of the hitmaker's pals and members of her squad. In one photo, Blake beamed as her husband Ryan Reynolds planted a kiss on her cheek while Taylor was joined by her go-to producer and co-songwriter Jack Antonoff and Larry David's daughter Cazzie David, among other friends. After Swift's fans spoke out in the comments of a popular Reddit post by an account with a pro-Baldoni username that falsely claimed the singer had deleted her posts featuring Lively, the original poster responded defensively in edited text. 'No one claimed [the posts] were deleted recently. Not once,' they reponded. 'There is literally no way to find out when a post was deleted.' Blake's sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin is still proceeding, and she has subpoenaed Taylor's longtime nemesis Scooter Braun as part of it In response to fans noting that Taylor's posts were deleted in 2017, they shot back: 'What a narrow world view to impose on other people. There are 8 billion people on the planet, everyone would not know she even exists. Sorry to break that bubble, but not everyone is a swiftie and that's okay.' Since Taylor and Blake's reported falling out, the It Ends With Us star has since praised the singer and actress Cynthia Erivo on social media in what some fans interpreted as a dig at her ex-pal. Although Lively was able to breathe a sigh of relief after Baldoni's lawsuit against her was thrown out by a judge, his attorney has since warned that she is on a ' false victory tour.' The judge's decision still gives the actor and director's legal team the option to refile four of its seven claims by June 23, so Lively isn't completely out of the woods yet,
