The pair have been linked since October 2023. Though the 29-year-old and 50-year-old have been photographed together over the months, they've never actually commented on their relationship status.

In a new interview with Vogue, Gigi spoke about her dreams of acting — which includes the theater. She began, “Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that’s something that’s so nice to bring back into my life.”

As for where they met, she confirmed that they first crossed paths at a backyard birthday party for the child of a mutual friend. “You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating,” she continued, “Even for my friends who aren’t public figures, that’s hard."

"Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people? And then there’s another added layer of privacy and security. You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deuxmoi or whatever, but you just don’t know," she added.

She called their relationship “very romantic and happy,” but says that she wants to keep parts of it private because “it’s just not part of our relationship to share for whatever reason.” As for the "sources" that have commented on things over the years, she said, “That’s kind of right and kind of wrong...you just have to let it go; you can’t always correct everything.”

"I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential,” she continued. "Then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve…and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be. I just feel really lucky. Yeah, lucky’s the word."

“I respect him so much as a creative,” Gigi added. “I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief. For those people you admire to encourage you, it can create so much belief in yourself. Like, what’s the worst thing if I auditioned for this? You jump and take the leap.”
