Hadid, 29, and Cooper, 50, sparked dating rumors in October of 2023, but the lovebirds have been private about
their romance.
Despite their lack of photo ops, a source told
Us Weekly they "are the real deal," adding that things have "become very serious over the last year."
Cooper, who is from the suburbs of Philadelphia, is a devoted
fan of the Eagles and often discusses his love for the City of Brotherly Love and the NFL team.
While Hadid hasn't been vocal about sports, the pair have seemingly bonded over their love of parenthood. (Hadid has one child with
Zayn Malik while Cooper has a little one with
Irina Shayk.)
"It's very sweet," an insider told
People. "They are busy with work, but also prioritize their relationship and daughters."
"Having a child, and having a family of my own — which is a miracle and something I've always dreamt of — has opened me up even more, I guess, to the day, and to be present," the Silver Linings Playbook star told NPR.
For her part, the model gushed over her little one. "She has already given me so much," Hadid said in an interview with The Sunday Times. "I always wanted to be a mom, but I was never obsessive about it or [thought that] I was put on this Earth to be a mom."
"I've always been quite organized, so having Khai at the time that I did was a blessing," she added. "I'm so glad to be a young mom."
