Bradley Cooper is riding a wave of success as both his professional and personal life continue to thrive. The Oscar-nominated actor and director has just scored a major career highlight — his upcoming film Is This Thing On? will officially close the 63rd New York Film Festival in 2025.
The news comes at a time when Cooper, 50, is also making headlines for his blossoming relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid. The couple’s growing bond has sparked speculation that Cooper may be preparing for an even bigger life event — a proposal.

Speaking to Deadline, Cooper shared his excitement about the film’s prestigious selection:
“We are honored and humbled to premiere our film at the New York Film Festival. Earlier this year, we had the wonderful opportunity to shoot this story all throughout the city. So it’s very exciting to debut it on the closing evening of the festival. NYC injects an energy into every aspect of filmmaking that just can’t be replicated.”
The romantic connection between Cooper and Hadid has only intensified media interest in the actor’s next steps. According to an exclusive by Page Six, insiders claim Cooper is seriously considering proposing to Hadid in the coming months. Some even speculate it could happen during the film’s high-profile red carpet premiere.

Bradley’s potential engagement wouldn’t be the first to happen at a glamorous event. Celebrities like Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello and Eva Longoria and José Bastón also marked major milestones during red carpet appearances.
As the New York Film Festival 2025 approaches, Cooper fans are eager not just for his cinematic contribution, but possibly for a real-life romantic twist as well.
