The Victoria’s Secret angel, 29, first sparked dating rumours with the A Star Is Born actor, 50, back in October 2023.
Since then, the pair have been pictured on rare occasions out in New York City together and attending her gal pal Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Paris, among other sightings.

Now, more than a year on from when they started dating, Hadid has described their relationship to Vogue as “very romantic and happy.”
“I respect him so much as a creative and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief,” she told the outlet for her latest cover interview.
“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.”
