There’s been buzz in Hollywood about a hookup of old and new Hollywood dynasties.
Sources told Page Six that supermodel Bella Hadid has been quietly dating a new man — Duke Nicholson, the actor grandson of Hollywood icon Jack Nicholson.
But a rep for Hadid subsequently said that the duo are not a couple, and “Bella and Duke are not dating. They met once through mutual friends but have not been in touch since.”
An LA insider claimed that the pair had been spending time together since at least late last month, when Nicholson saw Hadid on a trip to New York. The source added that the duo also celebrated Hadid’s recent birthday — before she headed for an all-girls island getaway.
The model turned 24 last week and celebrated by taking a group of gal pals on vacation via private jet. She posted images on Instagram and wrote, “Oh gosh I feel just really lucky … I usually cancel any kind of big birthday celebration so this year I just wanted to take my beautiful friends on an adventure that was absolutely non-refundable.”
But our spy said that prior to the trip, Hadid was celebrating with her new beau, which did not make it onto social media.
In 2019, Nicholson had a role in Jordan Peele’s horror film “Us” and appeared alongside Lana Del Rey on the cover of her Grammy-nominated album “Norman F - - king Rockwell!” He’s also in director Nicholas Jarecki’s upcoming movie “Dreamland” with Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer and Evangeline Lilly.
A Hollywood Reporter profile on Duke last year described the 20-year-old as “6-foot-1 with shaggy hair and striking, almost menacing looks.”
Duke’s mother is designer Jennifer Nicholson, and his father is former pro surfer Mark Norfleet.
Hadid — who dated singer The Weeknd on and off for years — appeared earlier this month in Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty fashion show. Hadid is the sister of model Gigi and daughter of former “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Yolanda. Her brother, Anwar, is dating Dua Lipa.
A rep for Nicholson didn’t comment.
