Bradley Cooper Keeps Up With Girlfriend Irina Shayk, Gets Vulnerable At Gala

Bradley Cooper has now made his status with Irina Shayk official, which means that he has to keep up his end of the bargain. Having a supermodel as a girlfriend means that he can’t slack on his physique.

“He’s been dating Sports Illustrated vixen Irina Shayk for a year and it only seems fitting that Bradley Cooper ensures he’s on a par with his well-toned other half,” reports Daily Mail. “The 41-year-old star was pictured heading home after an intense gym session where he worked up a serious sweat in New York on Tuesday. The hunky actor clad his buff physique in a skin-tight grey top, as he left the venue glued to his phone.”

At least the actor is aware that he has to look somewhat presentable next to his smoking hot girlfriend.

Meanwhile, the Russian beauty is continuing to rock it in the fashion world, most recently shooting a spread for Vogue.

“Irina Shayk looked stunning as she posed in New York City on Tuesday for an edgy Vogue photo shoot,” reports Daily Mail. “The Russian model, 30, went for a different look as she donned a high neck printed red dress and black leather boots. Also with the girlfriend of Bradley Cooper were two well-dressed young boys.”

Looks like she is getting some practice in handling young children. Seeing how there have been rumors that Irina and Bradley are thinking about starting a family, this might not be such a bad idea.

At least the first step towards starting a family has been made. The actor has brought his new girlfriend to his mother Gloria multiple times so that she can get used to the idea of having Irina around.

In September 2015, “[…] the 40-year-old actor clearly felt it was time to take their relationship to the next level as he introduced his new flame to his mother, Gloria Campano,” according to Daily Mail.

Also, they have made their relationship Instagram official, which is as official as it gets in Hollywood. Check out the photo that drove the fans wild.

So far the actor is doing a good job keeping up with his fitness routine by the looks of that picture!

On other news, it looks like his relationship with Irina Shayk has made him a much more open and vulnerable man. At a gala to raise money for a new cancer research foundation, Bradley Cooper opened up about his experience of losing his father to cancer.

“Bradley Cooper opened up about the loss of his father during a star-studded gala celebrating the launch of tech guru Sean Parker’s new cancer research foundation,” reports People Magazine.

“I can’t even imagine how much more difficult it is for those patients and the families that are less fortunate than I was that simply can’t afford to pay for both treatment and rent,” he said.

Before he started his relationship with Irina, he was dating another model, Suki Waterhouse, who was 17 years his junior. They dated for a long time, but it looks like the age difference got the better of them as they headed into a much more serious part of courting.

While he has moved on, Suki has not found a man to replace him quite yet. She has been focusing on her career. In fact, she recently spoke about how she has taken up photography to further her understanding of the industry.

“I’ve got photos of me crying,” she says of her photography according to Telegraph UK, “it’s interesting. It helps me with acting, because if I’ve got something really sad to do for acting I have a box with different pictures of things that remind me, and I have this picture of me crying and I know exactly what hotel it is and exactly what’s going on, so I’ve got a reference point.”
