Gigi Hadid is definitely doing something right when it comes her dating life this summer. The mother and model were allegedly dating Leonardo DiCaprio not long ago. And even though it is said that they “still talk,” Cole Bennett, a 27-year-old music producer, appears to be the new man in her life.
Kanye West, Eminem, Wiz Khalifa, and J. Cole are a few artists who have worked with Bennett in the past.
According to an insider, the couple is “moving in a romantic direction”, as per Us Weekly.
Hadid and Bennett were spotted catching separate cars outside West Hollywood celebrity haunt The Nice Guy on the night of Tuesday, August 29. He left through the front door and she through the back exit at the same time, which could totally be a coincidence but probably isn’t, given that, mere days ago, on Saturday, August 26, the two were seen leaving a Los Angeles house party together in the same SUV.
Bennett has 3.7 million followers on Instagram and has run his Lyrical Lemonade multimedia company since 2013. He was nominated for BET Hip Hop Awards’ video director of the year in 2021.
“They’ve been friends for a few years,” the insider adds. “They’ve been playing coy about their status, but they mesh really well together.”
According to another source, Bennet “lights up” around Gigi, and the model finds the producer “refreshing”.
Despite the fact that neither Bennett nor Hadid have publicly stated their positions, the first insider claims that the supermodel is “ready for something more serious” following her brief relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio.
After being connected in September 2022, the two momentarily drifted apart in February before coming back together.
Despite appearing to have moved on, Hadid and DiCaprio, 48, remain friendly.
