Gigi Hadid turned 30 in style — and of course, Bradley Cooper was right there by her side.

The model celebrated the big milestone on Friday, April 25, at a star-studded party in New York City, just two days after her actual birthday. Gigi’s inner circle, including her sister Bella Hadid and actress Anne Hathaway, showed up to help her ring in the new decade.

Gigi and Bradley, 50, made a stylish entrance at Saks Fifth Avenue, walking in hand-in-hand and looking every bit the power couple. Gigi wore a fitted white corset tank paired with edgy leather pants, while the Maestro star kept it cool in a Philadelphia Eagles varsity jacket over a jewel-toned matching jumpsuit.

But it wasn’t just their PDA that caught everyone’s attention. Fans quickly noticed Gigi wearing a sparkling ring on that finger, immediately setting off a new wave of engagement rumors. Earlier this year, a source told PEOPLE that while the couple is “serious,” they’re also “not looking to rush anything.” Still, the ring sparked plenty of speculation.

As of Saturday, April 26, reps for Gigi and Bradley hadn’t responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment — but honestly, the party photos were enough to get the internet buzzing.

Anne Hathaway also made a glamorous entrance, walking hand-in-hand with husband Adam Shulman. She kept it chic and fresh with a long baby-blue coat, metallic heels, and a matching clutch.

Meanwhile, Bella Hadid turned heads in a black backless capri catsuit, which she styled with black pumps, a bold red purse, and a leather jacket casually slung over her arm. Bella’s look perfectly captured her signature cool-girl energy.

The guest list didn’t stop there. Model Emily Ratajkowski, actor Will Arnett, and Gigi’s parents, Yolanda and Mohamed Hadid, were also spotted at the celebration. According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, the night was “an intimate celebration with her family and close friends,” exactly the vibe you’d expect for such a meaningful birthday.

Later in the night, the crew gathered inside Le Chalet, a cozy cocktail bar inside the same NYC building. Just after 11 p.m., everyone joined in singing “Happy Birthday” as Gigi blew out the candles on her birthday cake — and yes, Bradley stayed close to her the entire time.

“She and Bradley were very cute,” the source shared with PEOPLE. “They mingled and had fun, but also kissed every time they got near each other.”

The insider added, “It was clear that she had a beautiful celebration. And it was even clearer that she’s incredibly happy with where her life is right now, especially with Bradley by her side.”

Gigi and Bradley were first romantically linked in early October 2023 when they were spotted grabbing dinner together at Via Carota in New York’s West Village. Gigi later shared that their paths crossed at a backyard birthday party for a mutual friend’s child — a meet-cute worthy of a rom-com.

As for wedding bells? It sounds like the couple is taking things one step at a time. Bradley, who shares 8-year-old daughter Lea De Seine with ex Irina Shayk, and Gigi, who shares 4-year-old daughter Khai with ex Zayn Malik, are blending their families slowly and thoughtfully.

“They’re serious about each other, but an engagement would be a big step,” a source told PEOPLE earlier this year. “Neither are looking to rush anything, but that’s not to say they’re not very happy together. Their families spend time together, and so do their kids. It’s very sweet.”

The source added, “Gigi has a free spirit personality and she brings out a fun side of Bradley.”

With love, laughter, family, and possibly a diamond ring, Gigi’s 30th looked like one for the books.
