Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid have enjoyed a private whirlwind of a relationship since first getting together late last year – and it seems that the actor is already looking to cement their future together.
Despite only being nine months in, the smitten actor, 49, is ready to take their romance to the next level and pop the question, with insiders claiming he is ‘determined’ to marry the supermodel, who is 20 years his junior.
The pair, who both have one daughter each, have also reportedly discussed having children together, adding to their ‘blended functional family’ with their exes Zayn Malik and Irina Shayk.
‘Bradley has already determined that he is going to ask Gigi to marry him,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘This is not even a question. They discussed family and marriage early on in their relationship.
‘They have been committed to each other and to their plans for some time and now it is just a matter of when.’

They continued: ‘Bradley only has a couple of projects currently in production but has nothing lined up after that. He wants to take some time away to focus on this and give Gigi the attention and love she deserves.’
The Oscar-winner won’t have any pushback from those closest to Gigi as he already has ‘the blessing of her family, friends and even her daughter.’
Gigi shares Khai, three, with ex-boyfriend Zayn, 31, while Bradley is dad to daughter Lea De Seine, seven, with his ex Irina, 38.
Revealing how Gigi and Zayn operate as co-parents, the source continued: ‘Bradley has met Zayn. They have all moved on and are dedicated parents so there is never any issue at all. They have had contact numerous times when dealing with their kids who they all co-parent amicably.
‘In addition, Gigi and Zayn’s daughter gets along so well with Bradley and Irina’s daughter. She almost acts like a big sister to her. They have every intention of becoming a blended functional family.’
A separate source confirmed that Bradley’s feeling for Gigi were solidified by her support during his disappointing awards season run for Maestro.
Despite landing several nominations, the actor failed to win any of the major gongs and Gigi was there to comfort him.
‘The years that he worked on Maestro, to not win what he thought the movie should have won was disappointing, but it was Gigi that helped him through,’ they said.
The Maestro star, 49, and the California-born beauty, 29 were first linked together nine months ago, and their private relationship has been going from strength to strength
‘They are each other’s person and are there for each other in such a way that spending the rest of their lives together seems to be the next phase for them both.’
Teasing an impending engagement, they added: ‘To be engaged and married within the next year is something nobody should be surprised about. They are ready to take the next step.’
The couple have yet to speak publicly about their relationship and have maintained a relatively low profile since first hitting it off late last year.
But last month they were pictured enjoying a date night packed with public displays of affection in New York.
According to Page Six, the lovebirds were seen ‘cuddling and kissing’ as they dined at the Tribeca restaurant Forgione with friends.
The couple was also spotted dancing to Stevie Nicks at the BottleRock music festival in Napa, California during Memorial Day weekend.

And before that they attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Paris alongside the singer’s boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Travis, 34, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, went on to share on his New Heights podcast that he had a ‘blast’ with the pair, describing them as ‘amazing.’
Bradley and Gigi appeared to confirm their red-hot romance in London in January when they were pictured walking hand-in-hand, just one month after Bradley purchased a home near his girlfriend’s family horse farm in Pennsylvania.
The residence is reportedly close to Gigi’s mother Yolanda Hadid’s $4million farm in New Hope, which has a population of less than 3,000.
In a show of how modern their future blended family might be, Bradley and Gigi came together with the help of his ex-girlfriend Irina.

‘Gigi was introduced to Bradley through Irina and their mutual friends in the industry,’ a source told The Messenger.
The insider shared: ‘Gigi and Irina have been close over the years while working together, and Gigi and Bradley have hung out before, but it has always been friendly in social settings.
‘Gigi and Bradley were in touch recently, and were bonding over their daughters, when Bradley asked her out. He pursued her and she was definitely interested and excited.’
Prior to the romance, Gigi was previously linked to Titanic actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 49.
