Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid HOLD HARDS as a private couple show PDA for the first time on a romantic stroll in London – after the Oscars for directing

Bradley Cooper and his girlfriend Gigi Hadid were spotted holding hands for the first time publicly showing affection as they strolled through the streets of London earlier this week.

The 49-year-old maestro star, who was rejected in the Best Director category at the Oscars, cemented their relationship by walking hand in hand, a notable gesture for the famously private couple.

The 28-year-old supermodel showed off her off-duty style as she styled her long blonde locks into a fussy braid at the back of her head.

She wore a dark leather bomber jacket and low-slung camel cashmere pants from her guest-in-residence collection.

Meanwhile, the Silver Linings Playbook actor stayed warm in a peacoat and camouflage cargo pants.

Gigi and Bradley began a romance in October after they were reportedly “introduced to each other” by Bradley's ex Irina Shayk, 37.

Last month, Page Six reported that Bradley had purchased a home near his girlfriend's horse farm in Pennsylvania.

A source told the outlet that the A Star Is Born actor, who is originally from Pennsylvania, recently purchased a home in Bucks County.

The residence is reportedly near Gigi's mother Yolanda Hadid's $4 million farm in New Hope, which is home to fewer than 3,000 people.

Yolanda moved to the 32-acre property in 2017 and it has since become a safe haven for Gigi and her younger siblings – models Bella Hadid and Anwar Hadid.
