Gigi Hadid, the well-known model and entrepreneur, has recently opened up about her culinary pursuits, particularly her cherished pasta recipe, which she often prepares for her partner, actor Bradley Cooper. In a segment from Vogue France’s “Now Serving” series, the 31-year-old Hadid demonstrated her technique for making a delightful prosciutto and herb pasta, describing it as a dish that “works every time.”

The easy-going pasta recipe focuses on a blend of ingredients including prosciutto, fresh tomatoes, coriander, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, pine nuts, and red pepper flakes, which Hadid prefers to add for a hint of spice. As she prepared the dish on camera, Hadid affectionately mentioned, “I’ve definitely made this for my man,” referring to Cooper, who is 51. “He loves this.”
Since being initially linked romantically in 2023, Hadid and Cooper have taken a more reserved approach when it comes to their relationship, though they have shared several memorable public moments together. The pair made headlines when Hadid posted a photo on Instagram in May 2025, where they were seen sharing a kiss at her 30th birthday celebration. Recently, speculation about a possible marriage sprouted after they were spotted strolling hand-in-hand in Paris, both wearing what appeared to be wedding rings.
Further contributing to the buzz around their relationship, the couple attended the wedding of Hadid’s close friend Taylor Swift to football star Travis Kelce in New York City, generating significant media attention. In recent comments, Hadid expressed deep appreciation for her connection with Cooper, describing it as “beautiful” and markedly different from her prior experiences. In an interview published on August 25, she remarked, “What’s beautiful about my current relationship is the ability to be deeply honest.” She underscored the importance of mutual support, saying, “The key is to have someone who helps you stay grounded.”
While pursuing her career in modelling, Hadid is also a devoted mother to her daughter Khai, five, whom she shares with former partner Zayn Malik. In the cooking video, she revealed that her culinary time typically aligns with her responsibilities as a mother, stating, “Usually if I have time to cook it’s when I’m on mum duty.” She also mentioned that Khai occasionally lends a hand in the kitchen or engages in art projects nearby while Hadid prepares food.
Interestingly, Hadid shared her aspirations related to cooking during her childhood, saying she dreamed of participating in cooking shows, almost as much as she aspired to be a model. “I’ve just been a student of television cooking for my entire life,” she reflected, noting how she would often tune into cooking shows whenever she was home from school.
Cooking is a family affair for Hadid, with her father, Mohamed Hadid, considered the culinary prodigy of the family. She pays tribute to her father’s influence in her cooking style, noting, “The biggest thing I learned from my dad is to cook with your heart.” He adopts a more intuitive approach to cooking, often eschewing precise measurements—a practice Hadid joyfully emulated during her pasta preparation.
In the same segment, Hadid also showcased her skills in making an Arnold Palmer, an iced tea and lemonade concoction. Her jovial personality shone as she reminded viewers that the theme of their session was “Gigi doesn’t measure a lot,” while accentuating the importance of heart in the kitchen. Sharing a deep fondness for Middle Eastern cuisine, she mentioned a strong connection to her culinary heritage, particularly enjoyed through dishes like “eggs and za’aatar.”
Concluding her part in the segment, Hadid expressed enthusiasm about her Arnold Palmer, which she made using tea infused with honey and freshly squeezed lemons. After a light-hearted moment where she spilled some ingredients, she laughed off the mess and proclaimed, “We get messy. That’s part of the fun.” Upon tasting her drink, her delight was evident as she exclaimed, “That’s really good!”
Through these glimpses into her personal life and cooking adventures, Gigi Hadid not only shares a favourite recipe but also highlights the warmth and connection that comes with preparing meals for loved ones. As she navigates her career and family life, Hadid continues to find joy in cooking, creating lasting memories in the kitchen.
