Everything You Need to Know About Bradley Cooper's Girlfriend, Russian Supermodel Irina Shayk
We’ve seen her effortlessly grace many red carpets with Bradley Cooper recently.
And after the unbelievable performance of “Shallow” by Cooper and Lady Gaga last night – everyone seems to be talking about Irina Shayk.
The Russian supermodel and Cooper’s longtime girlfriend was the first to stand to applaud the A Star Is Born pair after the performance, and was photographed giving Gaga a warm embrace with Shayk’s face showing nothing but pure pride.
Shayk and Cooper have been known to have a notoriously private relationship, after they first started dating in the spring of 2015 and welcomed daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper together in March 2017.
“I think it’s all about personal choice,” she told Glamour UK in her new cover story. “Because my work requires me to be out there, I just decided my personal life will be quiet. That’s why it’s called personal, because it’s something for you and your family, and I feel happy with it.”
