Inside Bradley Cooper, Irina Shayk’s Romance Amid Lady Gaga Cheating Rumors

Bradley Cooper is currently being linked to Lady Gaga following the singer’s split from Christian Carino. But perhaps unbeknownst to many fans of the “A Star Is Born” on-screen couple, Cooper is deeply in love with Irina Shayk.

Cooper and Shayk have been mostly private about their romance, but they changed that starting last year when the Russian model decided to show up with her beau at different big events and award shows to show her support to the actor, who also made his directorial debut on his latest film.

Bradley and Irina first sparked dating rumors in April 2015, a month after the actor ended his relationship with model Suki Waterhourse. In January of the same year, Shayk made headlines when she and soccer pro Cristiano Ronaldo split after five years, according to ET Online.

A month after their first sighting together, the two were spotted kissing in the Big Apple after seeing a late showing of “Hamilton” at the Public Theatre. It was this time when sources claimed that Cooper and Shayk officially got together.

Ten months later in March 2016, Cooper and Shayk made their romance public when they attended the L’Oreal Red Obsession Party during Paris Fashion Week. At the event, they were photographed sharing a passionate kiss.

In July 2016, the couple seemed to have had a serious argument as Shayk was seen wiping her tears while refusing to talk to the Hollywood star. A clip of the awkward moment the couple had at Wimbledon landed on social media and generated a lot of buzz from netizens.

Four months later, Bradley and Irina surprised everyone when it was confirmed that the model was pregnant with their first baby. When Shayk walked at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, her tiny bump was already visible.

By the end of that year, rumors swirled that Shayk and Cooper got engaged since the former was already wearing an emerald sparkler when they stepped out together in Los Angeles. Their rumored engagement came three months before the model gave birth to daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper on March 21, 2017.

Ever since the two welcomed their daughter, Cooper and Shayk have been more open about their relationship. They also attended huge events together starting with the Met Gala last year and just recently the BAFTAs where the actor even gave a shoutout to his baby mama during his speech.

Despite being seen together publicly as a couple, Bradley and Irina have still managed to keep most of their personal life private. In an interview with Glamour U.K. earlier this month, Shayk admitted that it’s her personal choice to keep her family life with Cooper private because they are already working in a very public industry.

Meanwhile, Cooper and Shayk’s relationship has been plagued by cheating rumors ever since the actor started working with Lady Gaga on their successful movie. Since the two have undeniable on-screen chemistry, many of their fans were hopeful that they could end up with each other in real life.

The rumors intensified when Gaga split from Carino and when the “Bad Romance” hitmaker got a tattoo that appeared to pay tribute to her leading man. There were also reports that Cooper and Gaga developed a deep connection while filming and promoting their movie.
