Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are wearing wedding rings, and they are not make believe.
A source said the two secretly married before they were photographed holding hands in Paris on Aug. 3, with both wearing rings on their left-hand ring fingers. The couple had exchanged vows at Lenny Kravitz’ apartment in Paris, my source said.
They might have been inspired to go low-key after attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s over-the-top nuptials at Madison Square Garden in NYC over July 4 weekend.
While in Paris on Aug. 9, Hadid hung out with Cooper’s mom Gloria, and Cooper’s daughter Lea with model Irina Shayk.
The couple were first seen together in October 2023 leaving the Via Carota restaurant on Grove Street in Greenwich Village and getting into the same SUV.
Cooper left Paris for Monaco to film the untitled prequel to “Ocean’s Eleven” with Margot Robbie.
No porn for Brad
“Bad acting drives me crazy,” Brad Pitt told Esquire magazine. “It’s why I can’t watch porn.”
The leading man has three films coming out soon: “Heart of the Beast” with J.K. Simmons in September, “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” co-starring Carla Gugino in November, followed by “The Riders” with Julianne Nicholson.
His fans keep wondering how he looks so good.
The word “facelift” keeps popping up in stories, and doctors are speculating though it’s never been cofirmed Pitt went udner the knife.
Dr. Luis Macias, who practices in Los Angeles, says he has had a 25 percent increase in male patients requesting facial plastic surgery this year.
“Men are bringing in celebrity photos to communicate the kind of result they want. Brad Pitt is the most frequently referenced example, with patients pointing to his natural, believable appearance,” Dr. Macias said.
According to Dr. Macias, the biggest priority for male patients is subtlety: “They want to look natural. They don’t want to look like they’ve had a facelift. They don’t want to look too pulled, they want it to look believable.”
Top New York dermatologist, Dr. Kenneth Mark said of Pitt, “It definitely looks like he had a surgical facelift and fat transfer.”
But maybe Pitt actually is just too good to be true.
Ralph out and about, Lasso returns
Ralph and Ricky Lauren are rarely seen out on the celebrity circuit in the Hamptons.
“Their lives revolve around their three children and five grandchildren. They are constantly entertaining their family,” said an insider.
The couple, who’ve been planning a visit to The Palm in East Hampton, have been renovating their compound on a bluff outside of Montauk with views of the ocean. There are individual homes for each of their children, Andrew, David, and Dylan Lauren.
Dylan, who owns Dylan’s Candy Bar, recently told a friend that she has moved into a larger house closer to Montauk, but is constantly at the compound visiting her parents and siblings.
He sold out Wrigley Field, Madison Square Garden and is headed back to Radio City Music Hall. But comedian John Mulaney is making one stop first in the Hamptons on Saturday, Sept. 5.
The former “Saturday Night Live” writer and six-time host is playing a smaller room at The Clubhouse in East Hampton. Well, technically he’ll be in the backyard — the same stage Lauryn Hill rocked out on a few weeks ago. Tickets at murmrr.com.
The fourth season of “Ted Lasso” — where he coaches a women’s team — launched with a screening at MoMA with Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, Brett Goldstein, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Annette Badland and Steve and Liza Garrin. They celebrated with an after-party at Quality Italian.
Hamptons book party
Deborah Goodrich Royce — who played Susan Lucci’s sister on the soap opera “All My Children” — didn’t start writing books until she was 55. Her fourth novel “Best Boy” is out now and she’s already working on her next.
Hilary and Wilbur Ross gave her a book party at their home in Southampton, where guests included Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, Chuck Scarborough and Jamee and Peter Gregory.
Royce, a mother of two, worked for Harvey Weinstein as a story editor at Miramax during the studio’s glory years. She had no exposure to the mogul’s sordid sex life.
“Lucky me,” she told me.
She didn’t become an author until Gene Wilder “gave me the nudge.” She’d met the late actor while helping save the Avon Theater in Stamford, Conn.
As if she weren’t busy enough, Royce runs the Deer Mountain Writers Retreat where a dozen published authors hide out for a week in Tannersville, NY in the Catskills.
“We write all day and meet for dinner at night,” she said. She’s hoping Susan Lucci, having written two memoirs, will come.
Her advice to aspiring novelists? “Write what you know,” she said. “I’d be hard-pressed to write a nuclear physicist.”
