Actor Bradley Cooper officially addressed prior romance rumors with his ‘A Star Is Born’ co-star Lady Gaga after years of conjecture and making headlines about a burgeoning romance. After giving an intimate performance of ‘Shallow’ at the Academy Awards, Lady Gaga and actor Bradley Cooper ignited romance rumors.

Cooper claimed the chemistry he had with Gaga during the film and subsequent performances was just acting in a cover story about the musician published on a website, according to a report. Cooper told the magazine that staring into each other’s eyes when performing ‘Shallow’ at the Oscars “reduces the anxiety level.”

“In that scene, they appear to fall in love. It’s the explosive moment that occurs in front of thousands of people on a stage…. If we were both on stools facing the audience, that would have been so strange.” He said

Cooper praised Lady Gaga’s contribution to ‘A Star Is Born’ with nothing but praise. “She’s simply enthralling and stunning. ‘If I can only harness it, then it’s just for me to mess up,’ I thought when I first met her. But once we started working together, I realised, “Gosh, oh, the sky’s the limit in terms of what she’s capable of doing and her level of devotion,” as I put it.”

Cooper expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with her. Cooper is now in the news for rekindling his romance with ex-girlfriend model Irina Shayk, according to the uninitiated.

They were seen strolling arm-in-arm in New York City, experiencing their first public display of affection since their split in 2019. Cooper and Shayk started dating in 2015, and their relationship is still going strong. After spending valuable time together, the two allegedly met through acquaintances and began dating.
