Is This How Bradley Cooper Really Feels About Irina Shayk And Kanye West As A Couple?
Kanye West is reportedly dating model Irina Shayk. The pair were spotted vacationing together in the south of France as they celebrated the rapper's birthday with friends, per Daily Mail. Although West and Shayk haven't spoken publicly about their reported romance, sources close to the pair say they have been dating for a few weeks and that they seem to enjoy spending time together. "They looked incredibly happy and relaxed. It was just them and a few friends," an insider told E! News about West and Shayk's recent trip to France. Meanwhile, a source dished to People that Shayk appears to be falling for West. "She seems smitten. He invited her to France and she happily accepted," they stated, adding the pair haven't labeled their relationship just yet. "They are not officially dating, but there is an interest from both sides," says the insider.
The relationship comes hot on the heels of West's split from wife Kim Kardashian. Kardashian filed for divorce just four months ago, and the two are said to be working on co-parenting and keeping things as calm as possible for their four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. "Kim and Kanye are currently talking, but it's not that often," a source told Hollywood Life of the couple's current communication status back in April. For her part, Shayk previously dated actor Bradley Cooper. The pair began dating in 2015 and called it quits in 2019 (via Us Weekly). They also share one daughter together. Now, sources are revealing Cooper's reported feelings on Shayk's new relationship.
Bradley Cooper reportedly wants Irina Shayk to be happy
Although Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk split back in 2019, the couple is linked for life thanks to their daughter Lea De Seine, 3. This means that Cooper may have an interest in who his former girlfriend is dating. As rumors continue to swirl about the model hooking up with Kanye West, sources tell Us Weekly that Cooper is totally fine with the relationship. "Bradley would be fully supportive of whoever Irina chooses to date — he just wants her to be happy," an insider stated. "Bradley and Irina are not just on good terms as co-parents, they're also close as friends and share personal things with each other," they added.
Meanwhile, West and Shayk have also reportedly gotten the seal of approval from the rapper's ex, Kim Kardashian. The outlet reports that Kardashian is totally fine with West and Shayk's relationship. "Kim knew that Kanye and Irina were dating," a source close to the situation said. "Kim doesn't mind because she saw how quiet and respectful Irina was after she broke up with Bradley," the insider added, claiming that Kardashian "wouldn't like" if West dated someone who would talk to the media about their relationship. Meanwhile, some fans have already started calling for Kardashian and Cooper to strike up a romance. "I hope Bradley and Kim get together!" one fan tweeted. "Well now Kim and Bradley should date," another tweeted.
