The end has come for Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk. After days of reports that the couple of four year's relationship was just 'hanging by a thread,' People has confirmed Shayk and Cooper have officially broken up.
An insider told the outlet that the two 'are amicably working out how to share custody of their daughter Lea De Seine.' Lea was born in 2017.
The news comes after Shayk was photographed without what was believed to be her engagement ring on and after she was reported to have moved out of Cooper's home.
E! reported yesterday that Cooper and Shayk had been struggling for a while and that their daughter was the reason they were still together.
'Things get a little bit better but then they find themselves back in the same place of questioning whether being a couple is what’s best,' a source told E!. 'They want to stay together for their daughter, but neither of them are very happy.'
E!'s source explained the two have taken some space from each other.
'They’ve spent time apart to test the waters and see if they are better off,' the source said.
'They have a lot invested and it’s very difficult to completely walk away from. They are trying out different arrangements and trying to find their way. They love their little girl dearly and that’s not going to change no matter what.'
Page Six reported similar intel days before E!. 'Because of their daughter, they keep trying,' Page Six's source said when the outlet broke the news of their relationship troubles. 'Things are not good. Neither one is happy. The relationship is hanging by a thread.'
