Gigi Hadid is reportedly ready to take the next step with Bradley Cooper, but there’s one major roadblock she can’t stop thinking about—his mom.
According to Star Magazine, the 30-year-old model has started dropping hints about an engagement, but insiders say she’s unsure whether she’s won over Gloria Campano, Cooper’s fiercely loyal mother.
A source revealed that while Gloria has remained polite, Gigi feels like she hasn’t completely broken through. Despite dating the Oscar-nominated actor for more than two years, Hadid still fears she’s being carefully observed by the most important woman in his life.
Gloria is known for her deep influence on Cooper, 50. She frequently appears on red carpets with him and remains a constant in his inner circle. For Hadid, the dynamic adds pressure. The source noted that Gigi knows how much Gloria’s opinion matters to Bradley and is nervous because she isn’t sure she has earned her full approval.
Gigi’s bond with Bradley’s daughter grows stronger
Despite her concerns about Gloria, Hadid has reportedly formed a close connection with Cooper’s 8-year-old daughter, Lea, whom he shares with ex Irina Shayk. The source said Gigi has built a strong and sweet relationship with the child, which has only deepened her feelings for Bradley.
Hadid also has a daughter of her own, four-year-old Khai, from her previous relationship with singer Zayn Malik. Friends say Gigi is committed to building a united family dynamic and sees Bradley as a steady, long-term partner.
But when it comes to Gloria, Gigi continues to second-guess every interaction. She’s trying hard not to overthink things, yet the lingering doubt hasn’t gone away.
Bradley wants Gigi to relax, but she’s quietly worried
Cooper reportedly finds Gigi’s anxiety endearing. He believes her efforts to connect with his mom come from a genuine place, but he’s also encouraging her to relax and stop doubting herself. Still, Gigi doesn’t think she’s cracked the code with Gloria just yet.
An insider told Star Magazine that while Gigi is moving forward with optimism, the uncertainty remains. She hopes her dedication and family-first attitude will eventually win over Gloria, but she’s not sure time is on her side.
Now, with engagement rumors heating up and pressure quietly building behind the scenes, Gigi’s next move could change everything.
