Bradley Cooper is apparently seeing Huma Abedin, a longtime advisor to Hillary Clinton and the soon-to-be ex-wife of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner, in an odd turn of celebrity couple events.

According to a Page Six insider, the actor has been "quietly dating" the political aide for the past few months. It was Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour who introduced the unusual duo to each other.

Who Is Huma Abedin?

Anthony Weiner, the former New York congressman who admitted to having illegal online contact with a 15-year-old girl, and Abedin are currently in the final stages of divorce. After Weiner left Congress in 2011, he was found guilty of sending pornographic images to a juvenile and was given a 21-month jail term in May 2017. Abedin filed for divorce in that year. Jordan Zane Weiner, their 10-year-old son, is shared by the two, as per The Independent.

The internet was rattled about the unusual coupling; people flocked to Twitter to voice their opinions on the new romance even though Bradley Cooper, 47, and Huma Abdein, 46, have not officially confirmed claims of their connection.

Huma Abedin is a Democrat and a former top aide to Hillary Clinton. She was raised in Saudi Arabia despite being born in the US in 1975. In 1993, she relocated back to her hometown. The now-47-year-old rose through the White House ranks by working her way up.

She began her career in 1996 as an intern in First Lady Hillary Clinton's office before rising to the position of chief of staff for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in 2008. She was also chosen to serve as the US Department of States' deputy chief of staff .

In 2016, Huma Abedin served as Hillary Clinton's vice-chair. She presently resides in New York City with her son Jordan, according to her website. She identifies as a "Lucky mom, grateful Democrat, lover of fiction, devourer of french fries & ice cream" on Twitter.

Per HITC, numerous sources estimate Huma Abedin's net worth to be between $2 million and $5 million. She has a successful career in politics in addition to being a New York Times bestselling author of BOTH/AND: A Life in Many Worlds. The book was published a year ago.

The memoir follows her childhood, her faith in Islam, her time with Clinton, and her marriage to her ex-husband and former Democrat, Anthony Weiner. They tied the knot in 2010 and filed for divorce in 2017.

Bradley Cooper's Previous Relationships

More than three years have passed since Bradley Cooper's breakup from supermodel Irina Shayk, with whom he has a daughter. The pair separated in 2019 after four years of dating.

The actress Jennifer Esposito and the actor were previously married. Bradley Cooper asked the Crash actress to marry him in February 2006, but only four months later, alleging irreconcilable differences, she filed for divorce. Renee Zellweger is another ex-girlfriend of Bradley Cooper's who has achieved fame.

In 2010, the couple even moved in together after starting a relationship in 2009. The next year, though, the pair broke up amid rumors that he had moved on to actress Olivia Wilde. The actresses Jennifer Lopez, Zoe Saldaa, and Suki Waterhouse have also been linked to Cooper.

Many thought Cooper and Lady Gaga were dating because of their on-screen chemistry in the smash musical 'A Star Is Born,' but the actor has dismissed these as rumors. The actor gushed about how "terribly charismatic and beautiful" his co-star was, The Independent reported.
