Anna Wintour says she “never intentionally” tried to “romantic” two celebrities, so it seems the romance between Bradley Cooper and Huma Abedin was just incidental.
Vogue’s editor-in-chief, 72, made the comment after being asked in a ’73 Questions’ video if she’d ever played matchmaker for the stars.
Wintour’s cryptic response came after Vidak For Congress exclusively reported that she set up the actor-director ‘A Star Is Born’ and the political assistant.
“Anna definitely played matchmaker,” a well-placed source told us in July. “She’s BFFs with Bradley and loves Huma.”
A Hollywood insider confirmed to us at the time that Cooper, 47, had been “calmly dating” Abedin, 46, for a few months.
“They are a perfect match,” the source added. “They both love power, politics and human affairs.”
However, it seems to have been more of a flirtation than anything serious. The current status of the short couple is unknown, but the “Hangover” star recently went on vacation with his ex-fiance Irina Shayk and their 5-year-old daughter, Lea.
“It was a real family getaway and they are considering getting back together,” another source told Vidak For Congress after the trip. “[Irina] would like her daughter to have a sibling.”
We were told that the star of “Silver Lining’s Playbook” is on board.
Since her split from Cooper in 2019, Shayk, 36, has been briefly associated with Vito Schnabel and Kanye West, though both quickly fell apart.
“[Bradley and Irina] haven’t gotten serious with anyone else and they both have the idea of having a child,” our source added.
