Gigi Hadid Rings in 30th Birthday with Bradley Cooper, Sparks Online Age Gap Buzz
Supermodel Gigi Hadid, who seemingly just yesterday burst onto the scene as a fresh-faced It-girl, celebrated her 30th birthday in true New York City fashion. The now-A-lister marked the milestone with boyfriend Bradley Cooper at Le Chalet in Midtown.
Hadid, trading in the glitzy gold mini dress she sported for her 23rd birthday, opted for a chic, city-ready ensemble: a corseted white tank, sleek leather pants, and black heels. Gold jewelry, a white clutch, and a polished side-bun completed the look, accented by a bold dark red lip. Cooper, meanwhile, kept it casual in an all-black outfit, including a leather Eagles jacket commemorating their Super Bowl LIX victory.
While the pair presented a picture of effortless style, their 20-year age gap ignited a flurry of comments online. Some social media users pointed out the stark age difference, with one noting that when Cooper turned 30, Hadid was just 10 years old. Others questioned the common ground between the two, while some comments veered towards the more critical and humorous.
However, some voices rose in defense of the couple, urging others to refrain from judgment. One commenter emphasized that despite their age difference, Hadid and Cooper are likely in similar life stages, both raising young daughters.
