Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid Seen Enjoying New York Weather

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid may not have hard-launched at the Oscars, but they are making their relationship known somewhere almost as prestigious: the outdoor dining section at Via Carota. The couple was seen kissing during a group dinner there on Thursday night, and by all appearances, they are feeling the first tinglings of horny season like the rest of us.

Though neither of them have officially confirmed their relationship, Cooper and Hadid have been seen wandering the streets of New York together since October. They were seen dining with Cooper’s mom after the Golden Globes in January, and now they seem to have reached the crucial relationship milestone of dragging your boyfriend to a group dinner where he knows no one.

People published several photos of their evening, which also involved Queer Eye stars Tan France and Antoni Porowski. (France and Hadid both hosted Nextflix’s fashion-design competition show, Next in Fashion.) In one image, Hadid is leaning in for a smooch with Cooper, and in another, Cooper looks like he’s trying to astral project back to Lady Gaga’s house in Malibu. All signs point to this gathering being a birthday party — Hadid later posted an Instagram story of Porowski blowing out candles within range of a parallel-parked car.

But let’s get back to the kissing. What better way to usher in spring-y New York weather than making out in a streatery? Nice of these two to put on a show for the rats.
