Bradley Cooper may have been dubbed one of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Men Alive, but he has often downplayed his romantic persona. In 2011, he shared with PEOPLE, “If you’re a single man in this industry, people assume you’re a player.”
Cooper’s marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito in 2006 ended after less than a year. Over the years, his romantic connections with high-profile women, such as Jennifer Lopez and Zoe Saldaña, have drawn public attention.
Recently, Cooper has been linked to model Gigi Hadid, adding another chapter to his romantic journey (@bradleycooperroffical/Instagram)
In 2019, rumors linked him with A Star Is Born co-star Lady Gaga, though both denied any romantic involvement. His most publicized relationship was with Irina Shayk, with whom he shares a daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper.
Despite their 2019 breakup, they have maintained a positive co-parenting relationship. Recently, Cooper has been romantically involved with model Gigi Hadid.
