Bradley Cooper hosted a small gathering of friends and family at his New York home on Thursday – which also happened to be the 46th birthday of new suitor Huma Abedin.
Photos show the ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ star’s mother, Gloria Campano, arriving at his home for the intimate evening, along with two other mystery guests. Abedin was not spotted at the party.
It’s been a hectic week at the 47-year-old ‘Hangover’ star’s home as chef Kristin O’Connor was seen laying flowers there on Wednesday. Cooper’s good friend, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, was also seen at her home a day before the rally.
Sources previously told Page Six that Wintour, 72, played matchmaker in the budding romance between Abedin – who was a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton – and Cooper.
“Anna definitely played matchmaker,” a well-placed source told us earlier in July. “She’s best friends with Bradley and adores Huma.”
Another Hollywood insider also confirmed, “Bradley has been quietly dating Huma for a few months now, [and] they kept him very calm.
Although Abedin was not seen at Cooper’s dinner, the couple enjoyed some alone time in the Hamptons this week. A spy caught the actor and Abedin at Goldberg’s Famous Bagels in Amagansett, NY at 6 a.m. Sunday.
“They were there before the bagels even arrived,” the source said. “She was kind of stroking him, they kissed a couple of times. She was very loving.
Despite the eyewitness testimony, representatives for the couple denied the breakfast outing.
“Huma was upstate [New York] all weekend and abroad just before, so it can’t be true,” a representative from Abedin told us.
Meanwhile, a Cooper rep told us, “They’re good friends, that’s not true. Bradley was in New York.
