The rumors circulating about Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's so-called affair started spreading when their musical romantic drama film, A Star Is Born, hit theaters worldwide in August 2018.
The pair who starred in the film had started being the object of gossip because of the undeniable chemistry between them. They had been frequently spotted together in various movie promotion efforts and premieres, looking really chummy with each other.
The "Bad Romance" singer, alongside Cooper, who is the director of the musical film, performed one of the film's original songs "Shallow" a few months back, at the 2019 Oscars. It was a lovely live performance which the audience noted to be really romantic; viewers also claimed that there were real sparks between the two co-stars.
During that performance, Lady Gaga sat by a piano on stage with an enamored-looking Cooper sitting beside her. Both their heads were tilted toward each other while belting out the verses and chorus of the song, which had gone on to win the award for Best Original Song at the self-same Academy Awards.
Speculation has since become widespread on the matter of how the closeness and possible romance developing between Gaga and Cooper has been affecting the actor/director's relationship with real-life girlfriend, Irina Shayk. Apparently, with the whirlwind of movie press and promotions, plus months and months of work with his co-star had taken its toll on Cooper's personal life.
Sources recently revealed that there had been a spat between Cooper and his supermodel girlfriend during the night at the Oscars. But, after the duet they performed, the couple were spotted kissing at the front row, just after Shayk had given Gaga a big and lingering hug.
Moreover, in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a few days after the Oscars, Lady Gaga asserted that there was no and never will be anything romantic going on between her and her co-star. She added that the duet they performed at the Oscars was a love song just as the film they starred in was a love story.
So, as artists, they did their best to make it as realistic as possible to the audience and viewers. The reactions all around therefore go to show that they had done their job well and fooled the world.
A source was said to have revealed that the Russian Victoria Secret model claimed she was unfazed by the friendship between her partner of four years and his co-star. She supports him fully and understands that this is what his passion and profession demands from him.
The couple share a 2-year-old daughter named Lea. Both lead very private personal lives and rarely post or talk publicly about their relationship or their little family.
Rumors of their engagement were also sparked in 2016 when the supermodel was spotted wearing a huge emerald ring on her finger, one which she had been wearing for two years.
However, despite the many clarifications made to clear the air of rumors, the couple have recently truly called it quits. This was after they took a little time off following the awards season. The pair have had an amicable split, according to the source, and are discussing custody arrangements for their child.
The same source made it clear that the break-up had nothing to do with any Lady Gaga drama and that there was no point in time where the aforementioned singer had put a strain on their relationship. The decision to part ways was said to have been a mutual one.
