• Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk’s relationship was reportedly a 'partnership.'
  • Bradley and Irina just split after four years of dating, and Bradley currently has a 'huge and overwhelming connection' with Lady Gaga, according to some reports.

Ever since Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk split up, there have been new reports about their relationship, like, every day, and the latest one is incredibly enlightening. Bradley and Irina dated for four years before they broke up this month, but it looks like their relationship wasn’t like you’d imagine. According to new sources, it fizzled out and became more of a 'partnership' before their breakup was ever announced.

Before Bradley acted and sang alongside Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born, nobody really analyzed his relationship with Irina as much as they have in recent months. Plus, Bradley and Irina kept their relationship on the DL, so there wasn’t much to go off of. And according to a People source, that’s why nobody really knew there were issues in their relationship. Toward the end of it, the source said, 'The romance changed to more of a partnership.'

Now, the source didn’t say when exactly that change happened, but they assured the publication that 'they care about each other,' and another source said they kept this 'partnership' for the sake of their 2-year-old daughter. This source added, 'To keep a decent relationship and civility, they knew it was time to part and work out a plan for their daughter. Both of them love their daughter and will be there for her.'

In other B. Coop news, he reportedly has a 'huge and overwhelming connection' with Gaga. It doesn’t take an expert to know they had such fiery chemistry that it would make your 10th grade chem teacher reach for their safety goggles, but these reports are still so surprising. Other People sources explained, 'He has a huge and overwhelming connection to Gaga, but whether it becomes a real love story in their lives for all the world to see is premature, and it’s difficult to speculate at this sensitive time.'

Safe to assume we’ll all be waiting to see what becomes of this whole 'connection' situation and to see what FOMO-inducing Insta content Irina will post next.
