Though Gigi Hadid continues to protect Khai’s privacy by not revealing her face online, the heartfelt photo dumps captured the duo enjoying a serene bike ride through the woods as the snow gave way to spring.

While Hadid has long been careful about shielding Khai from the spotlight, she opened up about her boundaries in her recent Vogue cover story. “I don’t think it would be fully genuine to post nothing of Khai,” she explained. “But I also don’t want to put anything up that would take away from her privacy and her peace.”

The Guest In Residence founder also shared her current mindset around social media, admitting that her relationship with it has shifted over time.

“I am grateful for social media, and the ways that it has connected me to the world. I wouldn’t have the same career without it,” she said. “My Instagram is like snail mail.

Cooper and Hadid are keeping things low-key and deeply meaningful.

The Oscar-nominated actor and the 29-year-old supermodel may be one of Hollywood’s more private pairs, but behind the scenes, their romance is thriving. While engagement isn’t currently on the horizon, sources say the couple is “serious about each other” and fully invested in their bond.

The duo first sparked dating rumors back in October 2023, and insiders say that what began as a quiet romance has grown into something much deeper. According to PEOPLE, the couple has been described as “the real deal,” largely thanks to the shared values they bring to their relationship, especially when it comes to parenting.

“They're serious about each other, but an engagement would be a big step,” a source told PEOPLE Magazine. “Neither are looking to rush anything, but that's not to say they're not very happy together.”

Hadid, who has been a visible supporter of Cooper’s recent film "Maestro," is reportedly “in love” and views their relationship as “a big priority.” Their connection has only been strengthened by their families spending time together and their daughters forming a strong bond.

“They're very happy,” another insider noted. “They are busy with work but also prioritize their relationship and daughters.”
