A complete timeline of Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk's relationship, from their first meeting in 2015 to their co-parenting vacations
- Exes Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk recently took a vacation together in Venice, Italy.
- The actor and the model began dating in 2015 and share a 6-year-old daughter named Lea.
Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk first met in early 2015, when they were both newly single.
Before their romance began, the actor, 48, was briefly married to actor Jennifer Esposito and has also reportedly had relationships with Zoe Saldaña and Renée Zellweger. At the start of 2015, he ended his two-year relationship with musician and actor Suki Waterhouse, according to People.
Shayk, for her part, also had a few famous exes before meeting the "Hangover" actor. She dated Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon from 2007 to 2009 and was in a relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo for five years between 2010 and 2015.
After embarking on a low-key romance, Cooper and the Victoria's Secret model, 37, welcomed their daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper in 2017.
However, in 2019 it was reported that the pair had gone their separate ways and were co-parenting their young daughter.
Below, everything you need to know about their relationship — including their recent vacations together.
The former couple were spotted at numerous events together before confirming their romance with a public kiss.
Shayk was first spotted with the newly single Cooper in April 2015, a few months after she split from Portuguese footballer Ronaldo.
Per Page Six, the two attended a performance of "Finding Neverland" on Broadway together on April 22.
A few days later, the outlet reported that they were seen together at a White House Correspondents' Dinner party in Washington, D.C., bolstering speculation that there was something more than friendship between them.
A month later, both Page Six and People reported that they were seen kissing at Rihanna's Met Gala afterparty. They weren't photographed together at either of those events, but just over a week later, they were seen locking lips in London in photos obtained by the MailOnline, all but confirming the rumors of their blossoming romance.
Cooper and Shayk made their first official outing together at Paris Fashion Week in March 2016.
Just a month shy of their first anniversary, Cooper and Shayk stepped out for the first time together at the L'Oreal Red Obsession party during Paris Fashion Week.
They posed for pictures together at the event with their arms around each other. They even shared a kiss for the camera.
In the months following, the Oscar-nominated actor and the Russian model appeared together at many more public events, including a Parisian opera, the 2016 Met Gala, and the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
In November 2016, the couple revealed that they were becoming parents.
Shayk walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway with her ever-so-slight five-month baby bump visible, and the following day E! News and People reported that the couple was expecting their first child together. According to People, many backstage at the show were unaware of the model's big reveal.
A month later, engagement rumors began to circulate after Shayk was seen wearing a ring on her finger.
As People reported at the time, Shayk stepped out in mid-December 2016 sporting an emerald and diamond ring on her ring finger, leading to speculation that Cooper had popped the question.
However, representatives for the couple did not comment on the rumors at the time.
The couple's daughter was born on March 21, 2017.
The duo became first-time parents in March 2017 with the arrival of their first child, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper.
They attended the Met Gala together in 2018.
The couple walked the red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala together, where Shayk was seen wearing the same emerald ring that was spotted on her left hand over a year earlier.
Cooper thanked Shayk for "putting up" with him while accepting an award at the BAFTAs in February 2019.
While accepting the award for best original music for his directorial debut, "A Star Is Born," at the BAFTA Awards, Cooper mentioned his then-partner.
After thanking collaborators Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, and Lukas Nelson for their help in bringing together the film's soundtrack, he gave a shout-out to Shayk.
"Most of all I have to thank Irina, for putting up with me for all the music I was trying to make in our basement for a year," he said. "Thank you very much. Thank you."
The same month, Shayk explained in an interview why the pair keep their relationship low key.
In a Glamour UK cover story, the model laid out her reasoning for keeping her and Cooper's romance as quiet as possible.
"I have a lot of friends who share a lot of their personal life on Instagram or social media, very publicly. I admire it and I think it's great – but I think it's all about personal choice," she said.
"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."
In June 2019, news broke that Cooper and Shayk had separated.
People Magazine broke the news that the two were parting ways on June 6, 2019, after four years together. At the time, their daughter was two years old.
An unnamed source told the outlet that the two were "amicably working out how to share custody of their daughter Lea De Seine."
In February 2020, Shayk spoke about their break up for the first time and stated: "Two great people don't have to make a good couple."
In a cover story interview for British Vogue, the model opened up about her relationship with Cooper for the first time since their split.
"I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst – it's just the nature of a human being," she said. "Two great people don't have to make a good couple."
"I think we've been very lucky to experience what we had with each other," she continued. "Life without B is new ground."
She also praised her ex for being a "full-on, hands-on dad" to their daughter a few months later.
"No nanny," Shayk told Highsnobiety in September 2021. "Lea went on holiday with him for almost two weeks — I didn't call them once."
In August 2022, the couple vacationed together.
In a carousel of photos Shayk uploaded to Instagram of a tropical trip she and Cooper had gone on together, they can be seen playing with pigs and baby sharks on a beach.
She included a photo of the two of them, in which they are both smiling while Shayk rests her head on the actor's shoulder. She captioned the photos with a red heart emoji.
In recent months, Shayk has been romantically linked to former NFL player Tom Brady.
Shayk was first rumored to be dating Brady in June and they were photographed together for the first time a month later. Brady divorced from his wife of 13 years, Gisele Bündchen, last year.
Nevertheless, Shayk enjoyed a second vacation with Cooper in late August.
In photos uploaded to Instagram, the "Sports Illustrated' model could be seen posing topless amid rocky terrain in an unidentified vacation spot. She captioned the carousel "ROCKY SUMMER…"
On her Instagram Stories, she revealed that Cooper was with her on the trip, sharing a photo of the actor lying shirtless on a kayak in what appears to be the same location.
In photos obtained by Page Six from what appears to be the same trip, the couple could be seen enjoying a boat ride with their daughter as well as enjoying an al fresco meal.
The outlet reported that the family were in Venice, Italy, over the weekend ahead of Cooper's latest film "Maestro" premiering at the city's annual film festival. Cooper will not be attending the film's premiere due to the ongoing actors' strike.
