Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk parted ways in June after four years of dating. Since then, the rumors about the 44-year-old actor going on a date have been rampant. Different gossip sites claim the A Star is Born actor usually goes out with someone even if there's a lack of evidence to prove it. So, what's the truth about this?
In September, a tabloid created a made-up romance between Cooper and Angelina Jolie. It claimed the two had been enjoying each other's company whenever they were together after they were spotted at Disneyland on the same day.
In August, another publication claimed Cooper was dating Jennifer Aniston, while Shayk went on a date with the Friends star's ex, Justin Theroux. In the month before that, a different magazine asserted The Hangover actor was more than friends with Jennifer Garner after he visited Ben Affleck's ex in Los Angeles.
Lastly, a few days after Cooper's breakup with Shayk, an outrageous publication revealed he was having a baby with Lady Gaga. It alleged he intentionally ended his four-year romance with Shayk because he fell in love with the Mother Monster, and they were already expecting their first child.
Gossip Cop debunked all these made-up stories about Cooper going on dates as soon as he broke up with Shayk. He and Jolie never went on a date. It just happened that they were in the same place. They were not together, arrived separately, and brought their respective kids, but never crossed paths.
He also didn't have a romance with Aniston, and there was no "exes exchange" that happened. The actress' rep even called the story "complete nonsense."
About Cooper visiting Garner, the Alias co-stars have remained good friends since they started working together. The 47-year-old actress is also in a relationship with businessman John Miller. So, there is no truth about the rumors about them.
Also, time and time again, Cooper and Gaga have been insisting that they are not romantically together. She, too, is never pregnant with Cooper's baby. To stop these rumors from spreading, it may be enough to know that she is now dating her sound engineer, Dan Horton.
Laura Dern also cleared that she is not going on a date with Cooper after they were seen out and about together. The 52-year-old star told Us Weekly, they are good friends and almost like family. She then stressed men and women could hang out together even if they don't have romantic feelings for each other.
