BRADLEY Cooper and Huma Abedin are dating, sources tell Page Six exclusivel­y.

The longtime aide to Hillary Clinton — and former wife of disgraced pol Anthony Weiner — has been seeing the star for the past few months, multiple insiders said.

They were introduced by Vogue maven and Met Gala chair Anna Wintour, who is close with both. “Anna definitely played matchmaker,” one well-placed source said. “She’s BFFs with Bradley and adores Huma.”

A Hollywood insider confirmed, “Bradley has been quietly dating Huma for a few months now, [and] they’ve been keeping it really quiet . . . Bradley broke up with [actress] Dianna Agron and started dating Huma.”

The first source added that Abedin “has told a few friends” she has a “new man . . . but she didn’t say who it was. She was keeping it very close to her chest.”
