Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid have enjoyed a private whirlwind relationship since first getting together late last year, and it seems the actor is already looking to cement their future together.
Despite only being together for nine months, the smitten actor, 49, is ready to take their romance to the next level and pop the question, with sources close to the pair claiming he is “determined” to marry the supermodel, who is 20 years his junior.
The couple, who have one daughter each, have also reportedly discussed having children together, which would increase their “functional blended family” with exes Zayn Malik and Irina Shayk.
“Bradley has already decided that he is going to ask Gigi to marry him,” a source close to the pair told DailyMail.com exclusively. “This isn’t even a question. They talked about family and marriage early on in their relationship.”
‘They have been committed to each other and their plans for some time and now it’s just a matter of when.’

They continued: “Bradley only has a couple of projects currently in production, but he doesn’t have anything planned after that. He wants to take some time to focus on this and give Gigi the attention and love she deserves.”
The Oscar winner will not face any opposition from those closest to Gigi, as he has “the blessing of her family, friends and even her daughter.”
Gigi shares three-year-old son Khai with ex-boyfriend Zayn, 31, while Bradley is father to seven-year-old daughter Lea De Seine with ex Irina, 38.
Revealing how Gigi and Zayn operate as co-parents, the source continued: ‘Bradley met Zayn. They’ve all moved on and are dedicated parents so there’s never any issues. They’ve had contact numerous times when dealing with their children, who they all co-parent amicably.
Plus, Gigi and Zayn’s daughter gets along really well with Bradley and Irina’s daughter. She’s almost like an older sister to her. They have every intention of becoming a functional, reconstituted family.
A separate source confirmed that Bradley’s feelings for Gigi were cemented by her support during his disappointing awards season win for Maestro.
Despite receiving several nominations, the actor failed to win any of the major awards and Gigi was there to console him.
“The years he worked on Maestro, and not earning what he thought the film should have earned, was disappointing, but it was Gigi who helped him get through it,” they said.
The Maestro star, 49, and the California-born beauty, 29, were first linked nine months ago, and their private relationship has gone from strength to strength.
‘They are the ones for each other and they are there for each other in such a way that spending the rest of their lives together seems like the next stage for both of them.’
Teasing an impending engagement, they added: “It should come as no surprise to anyone that they are getting engaged and getting married next year. They are ready to take the next step.”
The couple has yet to speak publicly about their relationship and has kept a relatively low profile since they began dating late last year.
But last month they were photographed enjoying a date night filled with public displays of affection in New York.
According Page sixThe lovebirds were spotted ‘hugging and kissing’ while dining at Tribeca restaurant Forgione with friends.
The couple was also spotted dancing to Stevie Nicks at the BottleRock music festival in Napa, California, over Memorial Day weekend.

And before that, they attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Paris with the singer’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Travis, 34, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, shared on his New Heights podcast that he had a great time with both of them, describing them as “amazing.”
Bradley and Gigi appeared to confirm their passionate romance in London in January when they were photographed walking hand in hand, just a month after Bradley bought a house near his girlfriend’s family’s horse farm in Pennsylvania.
The residence is reportedly near Gigi’s mother Yolanda Hadid’s $4 million farm in New Hope, which has a population of less than 3,000.
In a sign of how modern their future blended family could be, Bradley and Gigi got together with the help of his ex-girlfriend Irina.
Meanwhile, Gigi shares three-year-old daughter Khai with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, 31.
The source told DailyMail.com: “Bradley met Zayn. They have both moved on and are devoted parents so there was never any problem.”
“Gigi met Bradley through Irina and their mutual friends in the industry,” a source told The Messenger.
The source shared: ‘Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have dated before, but have always been friendly in social settings.
‘Gigi and Bradley had been in touch recently and were bonding through their daughters, when Bradley asked her out. He persisted and she was definitely interested and excited.’
Prior to the romance, Gigi was previously linked to Titanic actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 49.
