Actor Bradley Cooper is in a relationship with Huma Abedin, former wife of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, according to reports.
The pair was spotted together on several occasions in the past few months, according to sources who revealed to Page Six that they were introduced by Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, a close friend to both.
"Anna definitely played matchmaker," one insider with knowledge of the situation told the outlet. "She's BFFs with Bradley and adores Huma."
A second source confirmed that "Bradley has been quietly dating Huma for a few months now, [and] they've been keeping it really quiet."
"Bradley broke up with [actress] Dianna Agron and started dating Huma," the insider told Page Six, adding that Abedin "has told a few friends" she has a "new man" but she didn't say who.
"She was keeping it very close to her chest," the source said. "They are perfect for each other. They're both into power and politics and human affairs."
Abedin was 32 when she married Weiner, the former Democratic congressman from New York. In 2017 he pleaded guilty to exchanging sexually explicit texts with a minor and was sentenced to 21 months in prison.
Abedin filed for divorce from Weiner, with whom she shares 10-year-old son Jordan, that year, according to Yahoo! Abedin previously opened up about her split from Weiner in a 2021 interview with The Cut.
"I had my heart broken, dragged out, stomped on, humiliated. I lived with shame, in shame, for so long," she said. "On the one hand, you have this person who's making your life so easy. On the other hand, you have this person who's doing these deeply irresponsible things, and what felt to me like very, very selfish things, and taking us down."
