Bradley Cooper & Suki Waterhouse Hold Hands at White House Dinner

They’re celebrating their one-year anniversary as a couple this week, just in time for Valentine’s Day. And Bradley Cooper was practically beaming as he escorted his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse to the White House State Dinner on Tuesday. The handsome 39-year-old looked dapper as ever in a classic tuxedo while the 22-year-old model opted for a conservative blazer and maxi-skirt. The two-time Oscar nominee held tight to the British beauty’s hand as they headed to the massive tent on the South Lawn.

Suki then dutifully stood by as Bradley Cooper chatted up Secretary of State John Kerry at the swanky soiree in honor of French President François Hollande.The Georgetown University grad could have even made conversation with Hollande due to his fluency after studying in Aix-en-Provence for six months. By comparison, Waterhouse – who shares a birthday with her beau – dropped out of school at 16 to pursue her modeling career. First lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama hosted roughly 300 distinguished guests at the dinner which featured live entertainment from Mary J.

Blige. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mindy Kaling, Stephen Colbert, and JJ Abrams were spotted dining on caviar, quail eggs, and rib-eye steak – according to the Associated Press.The American Hustle hunk and the 5ft 9in blonde have been inseparable lately jetting to LA, London, Paris, Berlin, and now Washington, DC. ‘I don’t talk about my boyfriend because it’s boring. I’m not one of those girls who goes on about their boyfriends,’ Suki Waterhouse told British Elle last month. ‘I do think whatever I say will sound weird.

But the truth is, if I start talking about Bradley Cooper I probably won’t be able to stop.’ Cooper’s role as fussy, permed FBI agent Richie Di Maso has made him a best supporting actor frontrunner during awards season. The in-demand A-lister will battle Jared Leto, Michael Fassbender, Jonah Hill, and Barkhad Abdi at the Academy Awards airing March 2 on ABC. And Waterhouse is currently the new face of Burberry’s fragrance Brit Rhythm for Her.

The former Sexiest Man Alive will reprise his role as The Elephant Man on Broadway this fall – according to Entertainment Weekly. And the Hangover funnyman will next voice Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy due out August 1. Meanwhile, Suki will act in this year’s romantic comedy Love, Rosie alongside Lily Collins and Sam Claflin.
