Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are "having fun" together. After the model and the Maestro star were spotted together in New York City twice in the last several days, a source tells PEOPLE the two are enjoying getting to know each other but are keeping things casual for now.
"They are having fun," the source says. "She’s independent, busy, and her days are filled with responsibilities so I don’t see anything serious happening right away if at all.”
However, the insider reveals that Hadid, 28, has "had sort of a crush on [Cooper] for a while" and might be open to exploring more than friendship with the actor, 48.
“[They have] things in common so it’s possible to see it progress," the source continues. “It appears super casual now, but they both have kids, big careers, busy lives and understand what life is like in these circles. It’s cute…and there is an attraction.”
The source adds that Hadid — in addition to modeling, working on her fashion line and raising her 3-year-old daughter, Khai — has an interest in doing some acting, which could be a point of connection for her and Cooper.
Cooper and Hadid were first spotted together on Thursday as they left celebrity hotspot Via Carota in the West Village. In photos shared by the Daily Mail, the pair got into the same SUV.
On Sunday, they reunited for another dinner outing. They were later photographed riding in the same car, with Cooper in the driver's seat. Reps for Hadid and Cooper did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
Cooper was most recently in a relationship with Russian model Irina Shayk, with whom he shares a 6-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine. The pair, who began dating in 2015, broke up two years later but remain friends.
In August, they even took a trip to Italy together as a family. "Lea wants them all to travel together," a source told PEOPLE at the time. "And Irina and Bradley are friendly and get along. They both want to make Lea happy."
Shayk, 37, shared photos from the vacation, including one of Cooper lounging on the beach. Hadid was previously in a relationship with Zayn Malik, with whom she shares Khai. She and the One Direction alum split in October 2021 after nearly six years of dating.
Most recently, Hadid was linked to Leonardo DiCaprio after she and the Don't Look Up star were seen together at a New York Fashion Week afterparty in September 2022.
