Nico Parker and Cooper Hoffman have been branded the ultimate nepo baby couple after they appeared to go public with their relationship.
Earlier this week, Thandiwe Newton’s daughter, Nico, 20, and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s son, Cooper, 22, looked extremely smitten as they stepped out for the Christian Dior fashion show as part of Spring/Summer 2026 Paris Fashion Week.
In a photo that has since set the internet alight, Nico sweetly placed her hands on her beau’s knee and lovingly tilted her head towards his.
Onlookers noticed that she also gently rested her foot on top of Cooper’s for the shot.
Both parties seemed to be glowing in each other’s company.
Fans couldn’t be more delighted by the nepo baby romance and celebrated the pair on social media.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, one gushed: ‘I’m so serious I love these two nepo babies and their love.’
‘Such a lovely classy young couple, I’m enchanted,’ exclaimed another.

‘Two of the best arguments FOR nepo babies,’ added a sixth.
Another raved: ‘Cooper Hoffman and Nico Parker kinda the cutest couple I’ve ever seen.’
The Daily Mail reached out to Nico and Cooper’s reps for comment.
While the couple has yet to publicly address their supposed romance, Nico has shared a loved-up snap of the two of them together, complete with a red love heart emoji, on her Instagram Story.
Although it’s not known when the pair struck up their romance, Nico and Cooper recently starred alongside each other in the comedy film Poetic Licence, directed by fellow nepo baby Maude Apatow.

Production on the film began last November, with the movie premiering at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 6.
Cooper, who is the son of the late Hollywood star Hoffman and costume designer Mimi O’Donnell, followed his father into the industry.
He made his acting debut in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2021 film Licorice Pizza, in which he played lead role, Gary Valentine.
More recently, he starred alongside David Jonsson, Charlie Plummer, and Mark Hamill in the 2025 film The Long Walk, which is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King.
For his next role, Cooper is playing OpenAI co-founder Gregory Brockman in Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming comedy drama, Artificial.
He will star alongside Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro, Zosia Mamet, and Chris O’Dowd.
Similarly, Nico followed her mom into the industry and made her first appearance on screen in the 2019 film Dumbo, directed by Tim Burton.
Since then, she has starred as Pedro Pascal’s daughter Sarah in the wildly popular HBO show, The Last of Us.
Nico, whose dad is writer/director Ol Parker, also appeared in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and How to Train Your Dragon, both of which premiered this year.
