Gigi Hadid, 29, and Bradley Cooper, 49, pack on the PDA as she shows off her stunning bikini body while on family getaway in Italy

Gigi Hadid bared her bombshell bikini body as she and her shirtless boyfriend Bradley Cooper frolicked on a yacht off the Italian coastline during their summer holiday.

The 29-year-old supermodel, who has been linked to the 49-year-old actor since last October, have been enjoying a luxurious vacation to the Mediterranean.

Over the course of their trip, they have mingled with fellow celebrities including pregnant Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley, as well as Benedict Cumberbatch. 

During their latest sighting, the couple were joined by Bradley’s seven-year-old daughter Lea De Seine, whom he amicably co-parents with Russian model Irina Shayk. 

At one point Gigi could be seen flinging her arms around Bradley’s shoulders and drawing him into a tight embrace, while he placed a hand over her derriere.

Gigi, whose sister Bella Hadid also shot to worldwide fame as a model, opted for a barely-there striped two-piece that allowed her to showcase her impressively chiseled midriff.

She wore her blonde locks in a short do that brought back memories of the 1950s, and accessorized the look by clasping on a couple of necklaces for an extra dash of sparkle.

Meanwhile Bradley bared his toned physique as he went shirtless over a set of olive green swimming trunks, slicking back his drenched hair as he soaked up the sun.

He and Gigi took full advantage of their steamy surroundings, hopping onto a banana boat with Lea De Seine, who seemed fascinated as she drank in her surroundings.

Gigi and Bradley also clambered off the yacht to enjoy a motorboat ride as a duo, after she changed from her bikini into a wetsuit and they both popped on life jackets for added safety.

The dynamic duo also enjoyed separate jet ski rides, zooming around on the open sea near their yacht – with Gigi even occasionally standing up as she drove.

Gigi, whose athletic habits include a love of horseback riding, could also be glimpsed diving headfirst from the yacht into the water, beating the heat during the waning days of summer.

Once she was done taking a dip, she climbed back aboard the yacht with the help of one of the crew members and quickly wrapped herself in a towel before making her way back up to the deck. 

Near the beginning of this year, Bradley gave an interview to the British Film Institute and remarked on the glare of public scrutiny on his personal life.

‘I definitely think I’m a private person,’ he reflected. ‘But you almost sort of have to give over to the fact that it’s impossible to be private these days.’

The Hangover star acknowledged: ‘So it’s more about acceptance of the reality, instead of creating my own reality that doesn’t exist.’

He enjoys a famously warm co-parenting rapport with Lea De Seine’s mother Irina Shayk, who has also dated Cristiano Ronaldo, Kanye West and Tom Brady.

Bradley and Irina were first linked in 2015 before going public as a couple in 2016, welcoming their little girl in 2017 and then going their separate ways two years later.

Shortly after their breakup TMZ reported they had decided to split custody and to both remain based in New York in order to make joint parenting easier.

In fact she and Bradley are such close co-parents that they have made sure to live just blocks apart in Greenwich Village in order to raise their daughter. 

‘He’s a full-on, hands-on dad – no nanny,’ Irina told Highsnobiety. ‘Lea went on holiday with him for almost two weeks – I didn’t call them once.’

On the work front, Bradley directed last year’s film Maestro, a biopic of Leonard Bernstein, the Broadway composer of such shows as West Side Story and Candide.

Leonard was married to Chilean actress Felicia Montealegre from 1951 until her death of cancer in 1978 in spite of the fact she knew he was gay.

Bradley played the leading man, with Carey Mulligan as Felicia in a cast that includes Maya Hawke, Matt Bomer and Sarah Silverman. 

The film found itself on the business end of a ‘Jewface’ controversy while it was being made, after an on-set picture emerged of Bradley wearing a comically large prosthetic nose while in character as Leonard. 

Bradley previous directed the latest Hollywood version of A Star Is Born, starring himself opposite Lady Gaga, who gave an acclaimed performance as a rising pop singer in love with his declining, alcoholic rocker.

Before Bradley’s remake, there had been three A Star Is Born movies – first in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, then in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason, then in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

Meanwhile Gigi and her on-off ex-boyfriend, One Direction star Zayn Malik, share a young daughter called Khai who will celebrate her fourth birthday this month.

Zayn and Gigi had rollercoaster relationship that began in 2015 and ultimately reached its final dramatic conclusion in late 2021, just months after their daughter was born.

News of their latest breakup went public in October 2021 after Zayn had an explosive falling-out with Gigi’s reality star mother Yolanda Hadid. 

The fracas reportedly started when Yolanda entered Gigi and Zayn’s Pennsylvania home without Zayn’s permission while Gigi was in Paris for work.

Zayn was accused of having pushed Yolanda into a dresser and calling her a ‘f***ing Dutch s***,’ demanding she keep away from the baby.

It was also claimed he called Gigi and said: ‘Strap on some f***ing balls and defend your partner against your f***ing mother in my house.’

He was subsequently banned from having any contact with Yolanda or the security guard who saw the incident, and had to complete an anger management course and 360 days probation. 

Last year, Gigi explained the way she has rearranged her work life so that she can also devote herself to her responsibilities as a mother to her young daughter.

‘I think when you are a parent, you have to be intentional because, now, I literally have half the time. I work when my daughter is with her dad, and that’s the time I have,’ she told Net-A-Porter.

‘And the jobs I choose to fill that time with have to be ones that are fulfilling to me. I will literally fit in as many jobs as I can on those days. I’m sometimes a crazy person, but if it means a lot to me, then I do it.’

She also revealed that she has aspirations beyond the runway, divulging that she harbors dreams of becoming an actress but is waiting for a suitable project before taking the plunge.

‘If and when the right script comes around, I’d still like to do a movie one day,’ she said. ‘I took acting classes for a few years in New York. But a lot of scripts that I’ve gotten over the years are just the most obvious roles for me to play. It is what it is, but I’ve only auditioned for the ones that I didn’t feel were obvious.’

Alongside her modeling career, Gigi has broken into the apparel business as well, founding her own luxury knitwear line Guest In Residence, which she launched last year. 

Gigi boasts a famously luminous complexion but has confessed she is ‘not much of a skincare guru’ and is in fact ‘terrified’ of getting facials, which she has only ever done once – prior to the 2022 Met Gala. 

She does practice a wellness routine that includes having herself ‘recalibrated’ by booking sessions with a chiropractor, the Los Angeles native told WSJ Magazine.

Her workout regimen consisted largely of ‘running after’ Khai, who was then two, she said, adding: ‘We walk a lot. We do yoga together. With lifting her and running around all day and going to the park, I get moving.’
