Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have been seen together for the second time in the last few days, sparking rumors they may be dating.

The two already have close ties - she used to romance his best friend Leonardo DiCaprio and he has a child with her pal Irina Shayk. 

The 28-year-old Versace model and the 48-year-old A Star Is Born actor were seen arriving back in New York City after what looked like a weekend out of town.

They looked pretty chummy: Bradley flashed a smile to Gigi after dropping her in his black matte Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV at her apartment with overnight style luggage, before returning to his own home.

She wore a cute cream-colored sweater tucked into faded black jeans with black ballet flats as she held onto a small ivory purse while her new 'beau' went much more casual in a cap, T-shirt, worn-in blue jeans and black sneakers.

Is it love? Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have been seen together for the second time sparking rumors they may be dating. The Versace model and the A Star Is Born actor were seen arriving back in New York City after a weekend out of town.

Just the two of us: There appeared to be no one else in the car which hinted that the two stars enjoyed a romantic trip with just the two of them. They could have spent the weekend with other pals like Leonardo and Irina, but they were not seen

New wheels: The car was newly purchased as it still had the stickers on the left side of the front windshield

Cooper was making a statement with his shirt and cap which were from the One Tribe Foundation. 

The Texas-based organization exists to combat suicide and 'support all of our nation's bravest,' according to the website.

Helping military personnel has been close to Bradley's heart ever since he starred as slain war veteran Chris Kyle in American Sniper in 2014.

While Bradley carried a basic black backpack and an overnight bag, his new lady love was more designer driven with a large Louis Vuitton duffel bag and a Prada had bag. 

There appeared to be no one else in the car which hinted that the two stars enjoyed a romantic trip with just the two of them. They could have spent the weekend with other pals like Leonardo and Irina, but they were not seen.

And there was no sign of Bradley's darling blonde daughter Lea De Seine. 

Gigi was also not seen with her daughter Khai, age three, that she shares with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik.

Gigi has had an interesting love life.

When still a teenager she romanced Cody Simpson. Then she was on to Joe Jonas and Bachelor star Tyler Cameron.

The look: She wore a cute cream-colored sweater tucked into faded black jeans with black ballet flats

So chic: She had gold rimmed sunglasses with brown tinted frames that went nicely with her gold earrings and necklace

No fuss hair: Her long flaxen locks were pulled back and put into a low bun with a Scunchie wrapped around the ball

Getting her own bags: She went alone to the back of the Mercedes-Benz to retrieve her luggage as Bradley did not get out to help her as he likely did not want to be seen next to her as their relationship is still new

She certainly travels in style: The Fendi model pulled a large Louis Vuitton duffel bag and a blue-and-white Prada hand bag out of the trunk

The looker, born Jelena Noura Hadid, seemed to be getting serious with modelizer DiCaprio but lately he has been with 25-year-old Italian model, Vittoria Ceretti.

Gigi was at the same fashion shows in Milan as Vittoria making for an awkward situation. 

And at some shows, Leo's ex Camila Morrone of the series Daisy Jones & The Six was there as well. 

Meanwhile, Cooper appears to have a healthy and close friendship with his baby mama Shayk, who now dates Gisele Bundchen's ex Tom Brady.

Bradley has also romanced Renee Zellweger, Isabella Brewster and Suki Waterhouse.

He was married once, to Jennifer Esposito from 2006 until 2007.

The star is very serious about his A-list Hollywood career.

He is the recipient of various accolades, including a British Academy Film Award and two Grammy Awards, in addition to nominations for nine Academy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, and a Tony Award.

Gigi has a child Khai, three, with ex beau Zayn Malik.

Gigi and Zayn were a power couple who even posed together for Vogue that dated on and off for six years before splitting for good in October 2021.

Zayn recently opened up about his relationship with his daughter on the Call Her Daddy podcast in July. 

'Since I've had my daughter, the main thing in my mind is trying to be a good example to her,' the One Direction vet said. 

Zayn also said that his adorable offspring was why he chose to do an interview, his first in six years.

This sighting comes just as Cooper is preparing to plug his new film Maestro.

Cooper endured a five-hour makeup process to transform into Leonard Bernstein in Maestro.

The Oscar-winning makeup artist Kazu Hiro revealed how he and his team would spend all night applying the cosmetics so he could be behind the camera in character.

Hiro told an audience at the picture's New York Film Festival screening on Monday (02.10.23): 'The last stage, he had covered pretty much everywhere, the bodysuit and arms. That took over 5 hours.

'The last stage, the whole time, our call time was 1 in the morning.

'The other thing was he wanted makeup to be finished before the crew call, so he would appear as Lenny to set up the shoot and everything. That also kind of made our call time two hours earlier than normal, so that was quite tough.'

Hiro explained that the length of time Bradley spent in the makeup chair varied as they filmed scenes from across Bernstein's life.

He said: '(We had to) keep adding because as he gets older, we had to add more elements. The younger stage was the nose and lips and chin and a wig. After the third stage, he started having cheek and neck (additions).'

Hiro's work sparked outcry as Cooper decided to wear a prosthetic nose in his portrayal of Bernstein, who was Jewish, and the makeup artist did not intend to cause offence.

He said: 'I wasn't expecting that to happen. I feel sorry that I hurt some people's feelings.

'My goal was and Bradley's goal was to portray Lenny as authentic as possible. Lenny had a really iconic look that everybody knows - there's so many pictures out there because he's photogenic, too - such a great person and also inspired so many people.

'So we wanted to respect the look too, on the inside. So that's why we did several different tests and went through lots of decisions and that was the outcome in the movie.'
