Cody called Gigi Hadid his first love.
They dated from around 2013 to 2015.
Before really meeting, Cody hatched a plan to get Gigi to speak to him: a fake music video shoot.
“There was no music video. No plans for a video, the videos have all been shot and this was like right around, I was doing my second album. I’m pretty sure I pitched her this whole concept that didn’t exist and she goes, ‘Yeah, okay.’ And I think that just broke the ice. So I started texting her and I’m like, ‘Ah I don’t think the video is going to happen anymore, but like, do you want to catch up? Do you want to go out for food or whatever?’” he recalled.
Cody explained about their first date: “And I just got in my first car, and I’m feeling like the man, you know. And I couldn’t even legally drive by myself at the time, but I think I went, picked her up and we hung out.”
He continued, “It was kind of like she was my first love, man. Absolutely. We were together for, on and off, about two years, but we started hanging out and a couple weeks later, she came on tour with me, and we again, it was a similar thing in that we bonded through her family, she came from a very, very interesting family.”
“Her stepdad at the time was David Foster, an incredible music producer, who at the time I don’t think I appreciated enough then having that relationship with him,” Cody continued. “The universe brings people together when they’re supposed to be together … We were supposed to be together when we were and learnt stuff from each other.”
