Gigi Hadid goes Instagram official with Bradley Cooper
Gigi Hadid has officially made her romance with Bradley Cooper Instagram official, delighting fans worldwide.
The supermodel shared a series of intimate photos from her 30th birthday party, held at L'Avenue at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City on 25 April.
The highlight? A tender snapshot of the couple sharing a kiss in front of her towering three-tier chocolate cake. This marked more than a year since their romance began in 2023.
In her heartfelt Instagram caption, Gigi expressed profound gratitude. '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! I'm so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!!'
She also thanked her global followers for their unwavering support, saying, 'It's a blessing to feel so loved!!'.
The couple's journey began quietly in October last year when they were spotted dining together in New York's West Village, according to E News.
Since then, their relationship has blossomed, with Bradley, 50, and Gigi, now 30, blending their lives and families.
Both are parents; Gigi has a four-year-old daughter, Khai, with ex Zayn Malik, while Bradley shares his eight-year-old daughter with ex Irina Shayk.
Sources reveal that their children spend time together, highlighting the couple's commitment to family.
Gigi recently opened up about their relationship in Vogue, describing it as 'very romantic and happy.' She emphasised the importance of knowing what one wants and deserves in a relationship.
'To find someone who is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve. You both work separately to come together and be the best partners that you can be.
I just feel really lucky,' she said. Gigi also praised Bradley's creativity and support, adding, 'He gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief.'
Their romance has captured the public's imagination, with fans eagerly hoping for the next step. Some have already sent blessings for marriage and children, reflecting the couple's wholesome image.
Despite this, insiders say they are content with their current pace, focusing on their relationship and their daughters rather than rushing into engagement.
The story resonates as a beautiful example of love flourishing amid busy, high-profile lives. Gigi and Bradley's blend of family, friendship, and romance offers a refreshing narrative in celebrity culture.

'Your girl needs a hug': UK singer Jessie J diagnosed with early breast cancer
UK singer Jessie J has been diagnosed with early breast cancer. The 37-year-old Bang Bang hitmaker shared the news in an Instagram video, expressing her hesitation about going public with the news but ultimately deciding to be open about it. 'I've been going back and forth a little on should I share it? I want to but there's a lot of opinions outside and I know the media are going to make this way bigger than it needs to be, but I also want to share this with my fans and the people who care about me,' she said. 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer and I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this period. I want to be open and share it because selfishly I don't talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.' The singer announced she will undergo surgery after her performance at the Summertime Ball. 'It's a dramatic way to get a boob job. I will come back with huge tits and more music,' she said jokingly. Jessie J, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, has always been open about her health struggles, including her experiences with Meniere's disease, which affects her inner ear and voice, and a miscarriage in 2021. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and sharing their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me.' Despite that, she has remained positive. 'The past two months have been amazing and having this go on alongside it on the sidelines has given me the most incredible perspective. But, your girl needs a hug.'

Next Stay Close ✕ Director Jon M. Chu confirmed that both Grande and Erivo will deliver new, original songs, alongside well-loved numbers such as "For Good" and "No Good Deed". "I think it's been reported that we have two new songs. They're great additions to this movie, and they were necessary in this movie to help tell the story,' Chu shared previously in an online interview. Composer Stephen Schwartz, who penned the original score for the stage musical, has once again collaborated on these new pieces, infusing them with the signature charm that has resonated across generations. Fans were first treated to the film's glimpses at the annual theatre owners conference in Las Vegas in April, where initial reactions hailed the footage as "dazzling" and "intriguing". The first film, which grossed an impressive $750 million at the box office and earned 10 Academy Award nominations, set an incredibly high bar. "Wicked: For Good" will continue the narrative from the Broadway musical, which is an adaptation of Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel. This sequel promises to delve deeper into the relationship between Elphaba and Glinda, exploring themes of friendship, betrayal, and the complexity of good and evil. It also teases an integral connection to the classic story of "The Wizard of Oz," with a glimpse of Dorothy standing before the Wizard, flanked by her loyal companions, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. Fans are left wondering who will play Dorothy, as the casting for this pivotal role has yet to be revealed. Fans of the musical will also find that "Wicked: For Good" has been crafted simultaneously alongside the original film. In an interview, Chu expressed the decision to split the adaptation into two films as a means to honour the material fully and explore its depth without compromising characters or songs. "It was impossible to make 'Wicked' into one film without doing some real damage to it," he explained. Meanwhile, taking to the comments one fan wrote: "Not even November yet and something has already changed within us....", while another said: "I apologize in advance for the person I will become once I watch Jonathan Bailey and Cynthia Erivo singing 'As Long as You're Mine' 😭😭😭." • "Wicked: For Good" is slated to release in cinemas on November 21.

Salma Hayek Pinault's natural beauty secrets and makeup tips
Salma Hayek Pinault shares her beauty secrets. Image: YouTube screenshot While many celebrities turn to cosmetic procedures in the pursuit of youth, Salma Hayek Pinault is choosing a different path by embracing her natural beauty and ageing gracefully. In a candid feature for Vogue's 'Beauty Secrets' series, the 58-year-old actress and producer opened up about her beauty routine, offering insight into how she maintains her glow without relying on invasive treatments. Hayek revealed that she's been experimenting with makeup since she was just 13. Now she prefers to keep things as natural as possible. One unique tip she shared is that she embraces the natural darkening of her eyelids with age, likening it to a built-in eyeshadow. 'I kind of like it,' she said. 'It's like natural eyeshadow.' Though she wears a lightweight foundation, the "Frida" star uses a touch of concealer to even out her skin tone, particularly on age spots. 'I don't want to look over-produced,' she explained. 'Everybody is too over-produced and they look gorgeous, but that is not a look I want for myself.' Staying true to her down-to-earth style, Hayek applies most of her makeup with her fingers, keeping the process simple. When it comes to common signs of ageing like crow's feet, she avoids fillers entirely. She admitted that she once thought the bumps on the sides of women's faces were the result of poorly done cosmetic work, only to realise later that these changes were just part of the natural ageing process. Though she embraces her grey hair, she has a clever trick for blending it without dyeing. She uses a touch of black mascara, gently brushing it through any visible white strands around her face. She also encourages women to adapt their makeup routines with age, reminding them that what worked for them when they were younger will not work for them now. Recently, Hayek made headlines for appearing in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue, proudly showcasing her stunning, age-defying figure and reinforcing her commitment to authenticity.
