Bradley Cooper has reportedly sought permission to propose and marry his girlfriend Gigi Hadid

A source told the Daily Mail: "Bradley asked Yolanda for Gigi's hand in marriage. He wants her to know how serious he is about Gigi and how he plans to build a solid family with her in New York."

It has been said that Gigi - who met Bradley at a child's birthday party, where their daughters attended as guests - has been expecting a proposal, and discussed getting married with Yolanda and her 77-year-old dad, real estate developer Mohamed Hadid.

The insider said: "Her mom, Yolanda, is on board, so that was a no-brainer. But Gigi telling her father she wants to marry Bradley is a big step; it's much more official."

Bradley - who was married to 52-year-old actress Jennifer Esposito from 2006 until 2007 - has also reportedly let his mom, Gloria Campano, in on his plans to say "I do" to Gigi in, possibly, 2026.

The insider added: "They are very close and he loops her in on everything."

It has been said that the Silver Linings Playbook star and the blonde beauty want to tie the knot so that their children can be brought up together.

Bradley has Lea, eight, with his 39-year-old ex-girlfriend, model Irina Shayk - whom he broke up with in June 2019 after four years together.

And Gigi has Khai, five, with her former 32-year-old boyfriend, singer Zayn Malik - who she split from in 2021 after they dated on-and-off for almost five years.

Bradley and Gigi went Instagram official in April, as the TV personality shared a glimpse into her milestone 30th birthday celebrations.

She captioned the post with: "I feel so lucky to be 30!

"I feel so lucky for every high and low - for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all! I'm so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!!

"So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week.

"I had the best time celebrating, and it's a blessing to feel so loved!! I am grateful and honoured to take on a new decade. (sic)"

In March, the Ocean's 8 star said how fortunate she is to have Bradley in her life, and praised him for giving her a "normal experience of dating".

In an interview with Vogue, the cover girl said: "Bradley has opened me up to going to the theatre more, and that's something that's so nice to bring back into my life.

"You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating, and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard. Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people?

"I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential ... 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."

And the Guardians of the Galaxy actor is always "encouraging" Gigi to strive within her career.

She gushed: "I respect him so much as a creative, and 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."
