Bradley Cooper is reportedly dating Huma Abedin.

The “A Star Is Born” actor is said to have been in a relationship with Hilary Clinton's long-time political aide.

Abedin, who has 10-year-old son Jordan with her ex-husband, disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, were introduced by Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

As reported by PageSix, a source said: "Anna definitely played matchmaker. She’s BFFs with Bradley and adores Huma.

“Bradley has been quietly dating Huma for a few months now, (and) they’ve been keeping it really quiet."

The insider added: "They are perfect for each other. They’re both into power and politics and human affairs.”

Meanwhile, the 47-year-old big screen star recently opened up about co-parenting with his ex, Irina Shayk, with whom he has five-year-old daughter Lea.

The couple were together for four years before their split in the summer of 2019, and Cooper called Shayk an "incredible" mother to their child.

He added: "Every single thing is absolutely shaded or brought out in glorious colours by the fact that I get to be a father to a wonderful human being. It's just the absolute greatest thing."

And Abedin, who separated from Weiner in 2016 following a sexting scandal involving the politician, previously insisted she had "moved on" from the controversy.

Back in October, she said: "I think for most of my adult life, certainly in the last 25 years that I've been in public service or in the public eye, I have been the invisible person behind the primary people in my life.

"But what I realise is that, if you don't tell your story, somebody else is writing your history."

And she noted she is trying to stay civil and "in a healthy relationship" with her ex, for the sake of their son.

She explained: "Anthony is always going to be in my life because he is the father of my child. I want to make sure he's healthy, that we are in a healthy relationship, that our son sees model behaviour that is healthy for him."
