Bradley Cooper Is the epitome of a devoted father
On Wednesday, Bradley Cooper looked every bit the devoted father as he took a stroll in New York City with his daughter Lea de Seine.
The 49-year-old actor and his seven-year-old daughter strolled down a busy street in New York City while holding hands tenderly.
For the outing, Bradley—who has a daughter with his ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk—wore a ‘Pearl Jam’ hat, a flannel button-down shirt, blue pants, and suede shoes.Adorably, he even handled his daughter’s possessions, toting her glittery jacket and putting her pink rucksack over his shoulder.
After sailing across the Mediterranean with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid in the final days of summer, the Hangover actor recently returned to New York.
They socialized with other celebs while traveling, such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Margot Robbie, who was expecting a child with her husband Tom Acklerley.
Little Lea joined in on the fun as well; last week, she was spotted off the coast of France with Bradley and Gigi in a banana boat.
Irina, on the other hand, has a glamorous dating past that includes relationships with Tom Brady, Kanye West, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Prior to going public as a couple in 2016, Bradley and Irina were first linked in 2015. They welcomed their daughter in 2017 and parted ways two years later.
According to TMZ, it became apparent shortly after their split that they had chosen to divide custody and stay in New York to facilitate joint parenting.
She and Bradley are actually such close co-parents that, in order to raise their kid, they have made sure to live in Greenwich Village within a few streets of one another.
“He’s a hands-on, full-time dad—no nanny,” Irina said to Highsnobiety. “Lea spent nearly two weeks on vacation with him; I didn’t give them a call once.”
In an interview with Elle, Irina revealed that she and Bradley ‘always find a way’ to balance their job and parenting obligations.
“He is the most ideal father Lea and I could ask for.” She gushed, “It always works, but it always works because we make it work.”
Despite their popularity, Irina and Bradley wanted to give their daughter a normal childhood, as they both came from average origins. Irina is from an industrial Soviet town at the foot of the Urals.
Since October 2023, Bradley and Gigi have been connected, and they have frequently been observed out and about having fun moments together.
Bradley discussed the intense public scrutiny of his personal life in an interview with the British Film Institute in the beginning of this year.
“I think of myself as a private person,” he thought to himself. “However, you almost have to accept the fact that being private these days is impossible.”
“So it’s more about acceptance of the reality, instead of creating my own reality that doesn’t exist,” the celebrity conceded.
