Bradley Cooper says he doesn't see himself as a 'ladies' man', but his relationship history would say otherwise.

The 48-year-old American actor began his career back in 1999 when he guest starred on Sex and the City, and has since gone on to feature in hit comedies and Hollywood films, including The Hangover, A Star is Born and Joker. In 2011, he was labelled the 'Sexiest Man Alive', but claims he doesn't have a way with the ladies.

Bradley was briefly married to actress Jennifer Esposito and has a daughter with his ex-girlfriend, model Irina Shayk, who he reportedly remains good friends with. Here, we take a look back at the other showbiz flings the award-winning star has had, including his most recent rumoured romance with supermodel Gigi Hadid.

Renee Zellweger

Renée Zellweger and Bradley worked together on the supernatural horror film, Case 29, back in 2006 and were later seen on a date together in 2009. The duo quickly became serious, with Renée spending Christmas with Bradley at his parents house in LA the same year.

"I can't say enough about her," Cooper said in September 2010, after the pair reportedly moved in together. "I just love her. I [loved] coming to work. I love acting with her. I can learn so much from her." However, by March 2011, Renée and Bradley had split on good terms and were seen catching up at the 2020 Academy Awards, when she won Best Actress for her feature film, Judy.

Bradley was spotted dining with the Jenny From The Block singer in September 2011 but both Jennifer and the actor insisted that it was simply business. The next month they were spotted together again, fueling rumours. Sources told People magazine that Jennifer had enjoyed Bradley's attention. "After their date in New York, Bradley and Jennifer stayed in touch," the source said. "She does like his attention, and it makes her feel good that he seems so into her. She has a fun time with Bradley and he makes her laugh."

Years later, Jennifer gave Bradley advice after revealing he was "nervous" ahead of his performance of Shallow at the 2019 Oscars. "He seemed a little nervous," she later shared on Instagram. "I said, 'The song is so beautiful. When they hear the first few notes, they're going to start applauding. So don't worry. Just deliver the song.' He was like, 'I got it, I got it, okay.' "

Suki Waterhouse

The couple kept their relationship on the down low

Suki Waterhouse and Bradley were first linked in February 2013 after leaving in the same car from the Elle Style Awards. The same night, they were together as they headed to a nightclub with Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

The couple kept their relationship under the radar but were pictured out together regularly. They had been dating for almost a year when Bradey brought Suki to the SAG Awards in 2014 as his date. They also attended a White House State Dinner together until they ultimately broke up in 2015.

Huma Abedin

In May 2022, Bradley was reportedly dating American political staffer Huma Abedin, a longtime aide of Hillary Clinton. The pair met at the Met Gala and were introduced by Vouge boss Anna Wintour. "They are dating but it's not a full-speed-ahead type thing yet," a source revealed at the time. "It's still in the earlier stages."

"Bradley is fascinated by her," another source told People. "Huma is very international and has seen and done so much. He finds this intriguing and challenging." Though the romance didn't progress and Bradley went on to briefly rekindle his romance with supermodel Irina Shayk.

Gigi Hadid

Earlier this year, Bradley was spotted out with Gigi Hadid having a seemingly romantic date at Via Carota in New York. This supposed date comes months after a romance between Gigi and Bradley's close friend, Leonardo DiCaprio, fizzled out. Leo isn't the pair's only connection, as Gigi is close to Russian model Irina, whom Bradley was with for four years and shares a daughter with.
