Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga were nearly inseparable during the 2019 awards season and film festival circuit as they promoted A Star Is Born together, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. After lighting up the Oscars with a stunning performance of the song “Shallow” together in February, it appears the co-stars haven’t seen each other since.
“Since the awards season ended, Bradley spends every day with his family,” a source told People. Cooper and girlfriend Irina Shayk often take their two-year-old daughter Lea de Seine out for activities, like strolling on the beach, the insider added.
As for Gaga, however, the source said, “It seems Bradley hasn’t spent any time with Lady Gaga. He has been all about his family.”
After the Oscars, Cooper has been staying relatively under the radar, occasionally getting photographed by paparazzi during casual outings with Shayk. Although the extremely private couple continues to stay hush-hush about their relationship, they’re still going strong. “Bradley and Irina seem great,” People‘s source added.
Gaga, on the other hand, has made a few post-Oscars cameos. She appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! days after the awards ceremony and attended the Daily Front RowFashion Awards last month.
While speaking to Kimmel, Gaga shut down rumors that she and Cooper were romantically involved after their steamy “Shallow” performance sparked heavy fan speculation.
“Yes, people saw love. And guess what? That’s what we wanted you to see!” the singer said. “This is a love song, ‘Shallow.’ The movie, A Star Is Born, it’s a love story.”
Shayk was also well aware that the co-stars were simply in character for the performance. “Irina knows that Bradley and Gaga are artists,” a source told Us Weekly following the Oscars. “[Their chemistry is] a nonissue for her. They were in character putting on an Oscar performance.”
There’s nothing fake about Cooper and Gaga’s real-life friendship, though. The duo, who met in 2016, forged a true bond while working on A Star Is Born together. The singer said of her co-star last November, “Bradley is such a kind and loving and real person. I’m so honored to have you as my friend.”
