Recent reports suggest that Irina Shayk, 37, has moved on with NFL star Tom Brady, 45. Following their time together at Brady’s Los Angeles residence, Shayk was seen looking close to him over the weekend. This development has reportedly unsettled her ex, Bradley Cooper, 48. According to a DailyMail story, Cooper is “bothered” by these recent images and feels “conflicted” about his former partner’s new relationship.
Background of Cooper and Shayk’s Relationship
Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper began their relationship in 2015 and welcomed their daughter, Lea, in March 2017. Although they separated in 2019, the two have remained close as co-parents. There were even rumors of a potential reconciliation earlier this year following public displays of affection. However, Shayk’s new relationship with Brady seems to have stirred strong feelings in Cooper.
Emotional Impact on Bradley Cooper
An insider has revealed that Cooper’s feelings about Shayk’s new relationship are quite intense. “To say he is not bothered by this would be a lie,” the source stated. Cooper reportedly continues to have deep feelings for Shayk and is concerned that Brady might become a permanent fixture in her life. “She is the mother of his girl, and they are his two favorite women in the entire world,” the insider added, highlighting Cooper’s worry that Brady might win Shayk’s heart permanently.
Concerns About Tom Brady’s Influence
Tom Brady is seen as a stable and potentially long-term partner for Shayk, which is a source of concern for Cooper. The source suggested that Brady’s qualities—such as his potential to be a loving husband and father—make him a formidable competitor. “Tom has the potential to be a loving husband, father, and parent. This is what Bradley sees,” the insider noted. Brady’s stability and commitment are viewed as significant threats to Cooper’s hopes of rekindling his relationship with Shayk.
Gisele Bündchen’s Reaction and Future Prospects
In contrast to Cooper’s emotional response, Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, reportedly views the new relationship with indifference. Following their divorce earlier this year, Bündchen sees Brady moving on as beneficial to her own freedom. Sources suggest that she feels little concern over Brady’s new relationship. Shayk and Brady are said to have first met at the wedding of their mutual friends, Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick. While their relationship has not been officially confirmed, their visible affection indicates a serious commitment that may lead to a lasting partnership, which Cooper may find difficult to accept.
