Taylor Swift seemingly has a stake in her girl pal Gigi Hadid's budding relationship with Bradley Cooper!
The singer, who is currently in her romantic era with NFL player Travis Kelce, has reportedly been helping Hadid and Cooper explore their relationship away from the cameras.
Taylor Swift Is Playing 'Cupid' With Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper's Budding Romance
Following the seemingly soft launch of Cooper and Gigi earlier this month, sources have confirmed that the "Blank Space" singer loaned her Rhode Island mansion to the couple.
"Taylor is a total romantic and loves playing cupid for her friends," the insider told The Mirror. "Even though Gigi and Bradley have their own properties in New York, they wanted somewhere more private to spend time getting to know each other, and Taylor was only too happy to help. She said the door to her home is always open for them to use."
The 11,000 sq ft property is located in Watch Hill with eight bedrooms, eight fireplaces, and a pool in the back. It also features 700 ft of shoreline with views of Little Narragansett Bay, making it the perfect romantic spot for her model friend and the actor.
News of the "American Sniper" actor's budding romance with Hadid made waves when they were spotted having dinner on October 6 in New York City. The renowned model stunned in a tan mini skirt and crop top ensemble for the night at Via Carota before they exited the restaurant together.
Just three days later, they were seen on their second date, making many jump to the conclusion that, indeed, something romantic was going on between them. Per reports, the duo was seen returning to New York after a weekend getaway — which might have been at Swift's home.
This time, the duo was seen with no bodyguard as Cooper dropped off the "Next In Fashion" host in her home with his black matte Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV. For the outing, the pair kept it super casual, with the IMG model rocking a cream-colored sweater tucked into faded black jeans with black ballet flats.
The "A Star Is Born" actor opted for a blue t-shirt paired with jeans and black sneakers and smiled sweetly at Hadid before she disembarked from his vehicle. As fans may know, Hadid was previously linked to Cooper's good friend Leonardo DiCaprio for several months.
Hadid and DiCaprio were spotted together at a party hosted by tech mogul David Rosenberg at the Hamptons in July, among several other occasions. On the other hand, Cooper has been in an on-and-off relationship with model Irina Shayk, with whom he has a six-year-old daughter.
Irina Shayk Responsible For Hadid & Cooper Romance
Per reports, Copper can thank Shayk for hooking him up with the "Oceans 8" star. Insiders confirmed that the Russian model introduced her ex to Hadid.
"Gigi was introduced to Bradley through Irina and their mutual friends in the industry. Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have hung out before, but it has always been friendly in social settings."
The source confirmed that Hadid and Cooper bonded over parenting and discussing their daughters, but the actor made the first move romantically.
"He pursued her, and she was definitely interested and excited," the source said. "They have been casually seeing each other, but it is extremely new. Gigi has expressed she does not want a serious relationship. "They have a lot in common, and both relate to being parents in the industry. She wants to get into acting and is intrigued by Bradley's perspective and guidance."
However, while Shayk has no problem letting go of her ex, the same cannot be said for Hadid's ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik. According to another source, the One Direction alum isn't a fan of their romance.
"Zayn has gotten wind of it, and he hates it," a source told Daily Mail. "Not that it is Bradley, just because it is anyone in the first place. He still has a connection with Gigi, and he doesn't really want to see or let alone think about her with someone else romantically."
The "Pillowtalk" singer believes he is still very much "connected" to the model, and seeing her with another man toys with his emotions.
