Though many fans of Bradley Cooper<\/strong><\/a> and Gigi Hadid<\/strong><\/a> were hoping to see the couple make their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair<\/em> Oscars party on Sunday, March 10, neither the actor nor the model were in attendance at the event. A source revealed to Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> that the reason for their absence was a last-minute job offer.<\/p>\n Though Bradley, 49, and Gigi, 28, were reportedly expected to attend the Oscars afterparty in Los Angeles together, the source said the model flew to New York City over the weekend because \u201cshe ended up taking a job and had to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n Bradley attended the Academy Awards that evening with his mom, Gloria Campano<\/strong>, as his date. The mother and son walked the red carpet together in matching black outfits, with blue accents on the buttons of Bradley\u2019s jacket and in Gloria\u2019s sunglasses. The actor, who was nominated for Best Actor for his lead role in Maestro, became the subject of a joke from host Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong> during the show.<\/p>\n \u201cBradley brings his mother to every award show, right? Last year at the Oscars, and the Tonys and the Soul Train Awards. \u2026 It\u2019s very sweet, but I guess the question is \u2015 how many times can one bring his mom as his date before he is actually dating his mom?\u201d the late night talk show host said. \u201cAre you working on a movie about Freud right now and not telling us?\u201d<\/p>\n Many fans have been waiting for Bradley and Gigi<\/a> to make their red carpet during this award season, but there hasn\u2019t been any luck so far. The couple first sparked dating rumors in early October 2023 when they were spotted leaving a dinner date together in New York. Days later, they were seen returning to the city after seemingly going on a brief getaway together.<\/p>\n A source revealed to People<\/em> at the time that Bradley and Gigi were \u201chaving fun.\u201d However, their romance became serious very quickly<\/a>, a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> in December 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cDespite keeping a very low profile, they are with one another a lot, often meeting up late and spending the night together,\u201d the source added. \u201cObviously, they\u2019re both super busy, but they really go out of their way to make time to see each other.\u201d<\/p>\n A source later exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that Bradley and Gigi have \u201cbonded\u201d over parenting young daughters. Gigi shares 3-year-old Khai with ex Zayn Malik<\/strong>, while Bradley shares 6-year-old daughter Lea with ex Irina Shayk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
