Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are the Hollywood couple we didn’t expect to see this year – and the internet has mixed reactions to their rumored romance! The catwalk model, 28, and the A Star is Born actor, 48, have reportedly “been out a couple of times” (according to an Us Weekly source) over the past few weeks, as their previous respective partners Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, and Irina Shayk, 37, have appeared to move on.

The Wolf of Wall Street actor is reportedly getting much closer with Vittoria Ceretti, while the former Victoria’s Secret Angel is rumored to be dating 46-year-old former NFL quarterback Tom Brady following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen.

Gigi Hadid Is Reportedly 'Really Enjoying Spending Time' With Bradley Cooper

Despite their 20-year age gap (the same age gap between Hadid and DiCaprio, may we add) they reportedly "have a lot in common," Us Weekly's insider claims, adding, "They’re both single parents to a young daughter and they share a similar sense of humor." Gigi shares daughter Khai, 3, with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, while Bradley shares daughter Lea De Seine, 6, with Irina Shayk.

The source claims that the Guest in Residence founder "has no intention of introducing Khai to anybody she dates unless she’s in a fully committed relationship," but she is "open to the idea of getting to know [Cooper] better."

The insider spilled that Hadid and Cooper "have been out a couple of times" after meeting through a mutual friend – could this mutual friend be DiCaprio, we wonder? – and she is "really enjoying spending time" with the Hangover actor. The source did also say "it’s still far too early to know where things might be headed," and "things aren’t that serious right now" but "the attraction is there."

Fans Disapprove Of Hadid And Cooper's Age Gap

Despite how great the two look together, not everyone seems to be a fan of this rumored budding new romance. And the 20-year age gap seems to be a large part of the reason why! "Girl enjoy your 20’s, stop dating 50 year olds," slammed one Instagram user on Us Weekly's October 10th post about the romance rumors. "Women enjoy your 20s don’t date old farts," concurred another, as someone else said: "Hard no. He could be her dad."

"No they do not have anything in common. So sick of the disgusting age gaps these celebs keep going for like Dane Cook. It’s like they wanna marry children," slammed another person on Instagram. "This feels a bit like grooming," wrote another, as someone else called it "another Hollywood cliché," followed by the eye-rolling emoji.

Not everyone was disapproving though, with one fan urging others to "let them live their lives." Another concurred: "LIVE YOUR LIVES and [expletive] what anyone else thinks! As long as you're legal and consenting have a blast!" Another chimed in: "Y’all the woman is 28… I see two grown adults that are famous single parents enjoying each other's company." "Good for them," wrote another IG user, as another said: "He’s Bradley Cooper. Enough said."
