Bradley Cooper embraces his role as a family man as he carries his daughter’s backpack on his 48th birthday – amid Irina Shayk reconciliation rumors
Bradley Cooper enjoyed some quality time with his five-year-old daughter Lea De Seine as he celebrated his 48th birthday on Thursday.
The Oscar winner was spotted in New York City with his baby daughter, whose mother is model Irina Shayk.
Bradley, the doting dad, did every inch of the heavy lifting for his daughter as he slung her pink backpack over his shoulders while holding her hand.

The Silver Linings Playbook actor partially hid his famous face with a gray trucker hat and sunglasses. A strand of facial hair grew along his chin.
Despite his partially concealed complexion, Bradley still didn’t look out of place in his bright orange sweatshirt, which he paired with midnight blue pants and suede sneakers.
Lea stayed stylishly warm, clad in a red jacket and fluffy pink boots.
On one occasion, Bradley was spotted chatting to another pal as they strolled across the street together.

Lea’s mother, supermodel Irina Shayk, 36, wasn’t there but rumors of a reconciliation between her and Bradley continue to circulate.
The Russian beauty and the American sniper star have been spotted frequently with Lea in New York City, fueling speculation that the couple has been back together since splitting in 2019.
The end of Cooper and Shayk’s four-year relationship led to a very amicable situation as mutual parents, but their platonic partnership seems romantic once again as they’ve become increasingly affectionate over the past few months.

Irina and Bradley originally got the rumor mill pumping over the summer when they reportedly went on vacation with Lea De Seine.
Adding fuel to the fire, a Page Six insider claimed, “It’s been a real family outing and they’re considering getting back together.”
The source claimed that Irina “wants her daughter to have a sibling,” and Page Six reported that Bradley approved of the idea.
Though Bradley was rumored to be dating Hillary Clinton’s confidant Huma Abedin at the time, Page Six reported that they were only ever involved in passing.
Meanwhile, Irina’s dating history includes Cristiano Ronaldo, and in 2021, she was briefly linked to Kanye West following his split from Kim Kardashian.
It remains to be seen if Irina will be attending any birthday celebrations for Bradley when the superstar turns 48.
