The connection between Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid seems to be intensifying as Gigi quietly reacts to her ex, Zayn Malik’s recent declaration that he was never truly in love with her. This renewed closeness emerges just after Zayn stirred controversy by revisiting their past relationship publicly.
Although Gigi Hasid chose not to respond outright to Zayn’s comments, her actions have spoken volumes. The model was recently seen sharing affectionate moments with Bradley Cooper, highlighting their growing bond despite the surrounding tension involving her former partner.
Zayn Malik’s Controversial Interview and Its Fallout
In a widely discussed podcast appearance, the former One Direction singer openly stated that while he will always have a special place for Gigi, he questions whether he was ever truly in love with her. This admission followed their years-long, on-and-off relationship, and it quickly drew significant public backlash.
During the Call Her Daddy interview, Zayn expressed:
I don’t feel like it was love, and to be fair, just to say this on record, I will always love G, ’cause she’s the reason my child is, you know, on this earth and I have the utmost respect for her,
he told host Alex Cooper.
I will always love her but I don’t know if I was ever in love with her.
This candid statement happened shortly before Gigi and Bradley were photographed sharing a kiss outside a Manhattan eatery, highlighting the contrast between her present happiness and Zayn’s remarks.
Gigi’s Perspective and Response to Zayn’s Comments
Sources close to the supermodel have indicated that Gigi is significantly affected by Zayn’s words, even if she does not show it publicly. The emotional impact is described as “triggering,” confirming a complex reaction beneath the surface.
Gigi is way beyond being hurt by anything Zayn says, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t triggering for her,
a source told In Touch.
She sees everything and did not appreciate him taking that shot at her.
Despite her frustration, Gigi remains determined to avoid a public confrontation and maintain a civil relationship for their daughter’s well-being.
She would never give Zayn the satisfaction of saying anything directly in response,
the source continued.
She’s not interested in getting in a big public fight with him,
She has her daughter to think of. She wants to keep things as cordial as possible for Khai’s sake.
