Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid, who have been dating since 2023, may have just gotten hitched. The two sparked speculation that they may have secretly tied the knot after they were spotted in Paris on Aug. 3 wearing matching bands on their left ring fingers.

The photos that got everyone talking showed the pair walking together in gym clothes. The model, whose ring appeared to have pearls all around the exterior, sported gray leggings and a white tank top while the Silver Linings Playbook actor, whose ring appeared to be a classic gold band, wore light blue basketball shorts and a navy blue T-shirt.

Inbaal Honigman is a behavioral and body language expert. She has appeared in the media for more than two decades, offering her expertise and perspectives on several pop culture figures for Big Brother’s Little Brother, Elle Magazine, and talkSPORT radio, to name a few.

Speaking on behalf of Casino.org, Honigman told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “The couple looks like newlyweds for two main reasons: First and foremost, they both lead with their hands. Their ring fingers are placed forwards as they walk, and they’re clearly proud and thrilled to display their commitment. The fact that their ring fingers lead ahead, placed a little separately from their bodies, could suggest that the rings are new and that Bradley and Gigi are still getting used to them.

“Secondly, and in contrast, they both express secretive body language. Each of them is seen looking to the sides with some suspicion, as if trying to hide something. Brows furrowed, they’re checking out if anyone is looking or taking pics, and they appear concerned, not wanting to reveal their private business.”

Honigman added, “They’re clearly in love, lacing their fingers together when they walk hand in hand. It is a warm, romantic way of hand-holding, and it is equal at times, their hands side by side. Intermittently, Bradley covers Gigi’s hand with his, protecting her. This move is a little possessive. He hides her from view and keeps her to himself, but it isn’t a jealous or a domineering move. It says that Bradley doesn’t want to lose her.

“The combination of their furtive head moves with the evident parading of their new rings is a curious blend of forthright and covert. The mismatch indicates an unusual state of affairs, which could well be recent nuptials.”

If the marriage chatter is true, this would be Cooper’s second. Before Hadid, the Maestro star and director was married to actress Jennifer Esposito. Some of his other high-profile relationships over the years include British model-turned-singer Suki Waterhouse, whom he dated from 2013 to 2015, and Russian-born model Irina Shayk, with whom he shares a daughter, Lea De Seine.

Hadid also has one child. She and her ex, former One Direction band member Zayn Malik, co-parent their daughter, Khai, who was born in 2020.

Showbiz Cheat Sheet acknowledges that conditions and cultures can impact body language and is sensitive to all backgrounds.
