FOR THE first time, Bradley Cooper became a father with the birth of his and Irina Shayk’s child.
Two years before the A Star is Born filmmaker and the Victoria’s Secret model parted ways, they welcomed their daughter Lea de Seine.
From his previous relationship with Irina Shayk, Bradley Cooper has one daughter named Lea de Seine.
On March 21, 2017, Irina gave birth to Lea in Los Angeles, California.
Regarding his life as a father, Bradley said on the Smartless podcast: “Fatherhood is…everything changed.
“Every single thing is absolutely shaded by, or brought into glorious colors, by the fact that I get to be a father to a wonderful human being.
“You have this wonderful thing or breakthrough with a script, or you have a wonderful moment on this set or in an editing room…
“…You have like 40 of those moments every day with your kid, that are that level of joy. That’s not spinning it, that’s just the truth.”
The Maestro actor further elaborated to NPR: “Well, I’ve been opened up to a world of children’s music, that’s for sure.
“I spent about 15 years going from movie to movie to movie.
“And then I hit 39 and I stopped and I said, ‘What do I really want to do?’
“I guess having a child, and having a family of my own — which is a miracle and something I’ve always dreamt of — has opened me up even more, I guess, to the day, and to be present.”
On June 6, 2019, it was confirmed Bradley and Irina hit splitsville.
At the time, an insider shared with People: “They spent a lot of time apart.
“[Irina is] not focused on the celebrity part, or on the fame — she just wants to protect her family.
“Bradley is very into work and is trying to take advantage of every career opportunity right now.
“They were living totally separate lives. If he was in Los Angeles, she’s out of town, and if she was in town, he was out of town.”
Citing his work with Lady Gaga in A Star is Born, another source told the outlet: “The rumors about Bradley and Gaga having a love affair didn’t help, especially with his constant travels [promoting the film].
“He has a huge and overwhelming connection to Gaga but whether it becomes a real love story in their lives for all the world to see is premature, and it’s difficult to speculate at this sensitive time.
“Since Bradley and Irina have always been very private about their relationship, few knew there was really for sure something going on.”
