Bradley Cooper Holds Hands with Daughter in Manhattan Amidst Rumors of New Romance

Bradley Cooper, the 48-year-old actor-director, was spotted holding hands with his adorable six-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Cooper, in Manhattan on Thursday morning. The pair looked happy and relaxed as they enjoyed the warm autumn weather in the bustling city. Cooper shares 50/50 joint custody of Lea with his ex-fiancé, Irina Shayk, whom he split from in 2019 after a four-year relationship.

Sporting a pink T-shirt, navy-blue slacks, and mustard-yellow Adidas sneakers, Bradley's choice of footwear happened to be the same as those featured in the storefront of rumored girlfriend Gigi Hadid's flagship store. The model's cashmere clothing collection, Guest in Residence, is located in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood.

Cooper and Hadid were first seen together on October 5, enjoying a meal in New York City. According to an insider, Bradley is excited about this new relationship, stating that he "hasn't felt this excitement about a woman in a very long time." The source added that Cooper appreciates the fact that Gigi, a mother herself to three-year-old daughter Khai, understands the dynamics of co-parenting.

Apart from their personal lives, Bradley Cooper has been making waves in the film industry. He recently unveiled the second trailer for his biopic, "Maestro," about legendary composer-conductor Leonard Bernstein. The fully-authorized film, which Cooper co-wrote, produced, directed, and stars in, will hit limited US theaters on November 22 and stream on Netflix on December 20.

Cooper's dedication to portraying Bernstein authentically is evident, as he underwent prosthetic makeup by two-time Oscar-winning artist Kazu Hiro. The movie, which already received positive reviews with an 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes, also features a talented cast including Carey Mulligan, Matt Bomer, Maya Hawke, and Sarah Silverman.

Additionally, Bradley Cooper has been cast by renowned directors Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Spielberg has chosen Cooper as the lead in his upcoming untitled Frank Bullitt film. Produced by Chad McQueen and Molly McQueen, the film promises an exciting role for the talented actor.

As fans eagerly await both "Maestro" and Spielberg's new project, rumors continue to swirl around Bradley Cooper's personal life. While he enjoys quality time with his daughter, the speculation of a budding romance with Gigi Hadid adds an extra layer of excitement to his already eventful career.
