Lady Gaga invites Bradley Cooper to her wedding along with a ‘plus one’ for Gigi Hadid

Lady Gaga has reportedly invited her close friend and former co-star Bradley Cooper to her upcoming wedding to Michael Polansky. The singer and actor, known for her deep bond with Cooper since their work on A Star Is Born, is said to have him play a significant role in the ceremony, which is expected to take place this summer.

A source told Life & Style that Gaga considers Cooper one of the most important people in her life outside of family. “Bradley’s one of the top people on Gaga’s list to have at her wedding, aside from family, he’s that important to her. He wasn’t just a mentor who believed in her for their movie, she feels a huge kinship with him.”

 

The insider also revealed that Cooper will have the option to bring a plus one, with his girlfriend, supermodel Gigi Hadid, likely to accompany him. “(The wedding) will have an open invite to bring a plus one, so odds are (his girlfriend) Gigi Hadid will be there with him, and Gaga is totally cool with that. She thinks they’re great together and is happy to see Bradley happy. She’s excited to have him there for her big day, which is in the works for this summer.”

Despite their undeniable chemistry on-screen and their close friendship, Gaga made sure from the start that her fiancé and Cooper had a good relationship. “Gaga introduced Michael and Bradley very early on in the relationship, and she made it clear it was important to her that they get along. Michael was very understanding,” the source shared. “A lot of men would be threatened because Gaga and Bradley are very familiar with each other. Their friendship can come across as flirty, but she insists she sees him as a brother. Fortunately, Bradley has made a big effort to bond with Michael. They aren’t super close, but they have a friendship.”

 

Gaga and Polansky began dating in 2019, the same year she won her first Oscar for Best Original Song for Shallow. Their engagement speculation began when Gaga referred to Michael as her “fiancé” during a conversation with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at the Paris Olympics on July 28, 2024.

She later shared details of Polansky’s proposal during an October 1, 2024, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “We went on a trip together, and we went rock climbing, and we’ve been rock climbing before, which was super fun. We climbed to the top, we looked around, took some photos. And then went back down and we were just walking back to the room,” she recalled. “And he actually—it was very Michael—he asked me if he could ask me. He wanted to know if it was okay to propose before he proposed. And I was like, ‘Yes, it’s so OK.’”

Gaga also revealed that Polansky opted for a more intimate moment rather than a grand gesture at the top of the climb. “I think it was smart. It was safe. He had the ring in his backpack, so it was super cute.” She added that while he didn’t get down on one knee, she appreciated his modern approach, saying, “But I’m a modern lady. I like what he did.”

On the professional front, Gaga was last seen in Joker 2 and announced her new album, Mayhem. Cooper, on the other hand, directed and starred in the recent Netflix film Maestro.
