Who is Irina Shayk, when did she split from Bradley Cooper and why did she unfollow Lady Gaga on Twitter?
RUSSIAN model Irina Shayk seems to have it all including a beautiful baby daughter, successful career as a supermodel and an impressive following on social media.
But the Victoria's Secret model has now called it quits with her partner of four years and father of her child, Bradley Cooper. Here's the lowdown...
Why did Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk split up?
In June 2019, the couple called it quits after four years together.
The actor, 44, and supermodel, 33, are now amicably working out how to share custody of their two-year-old daughter Lea De Seine, an insider told .
The news came just two days after Sun Online exclusively revealed that Irina had moved out of the LA mansion she shared with ex-fiance Bradley.
A source told us: "Things are cooling off between Bradley and Irina in a big way.
"They haven’t been good for a few months and Irina decided it would be best if she moved into her own place.
"It’s not looking like there’s much long left for the two of them together."
Despite US reports of their relationship "hanging on by a thread," there is yet to be an official explanation for the split.
Though a source told People that their relationship was never the same after A Star Is Born.
They said: “Bradley was emotionally absent during the long time filming A Star Is Born.
“They tried to save the relationship but it had changed.”
But that hasn't stopped speculation being rife ever since Bradley's steamy Oscars performance with his A Star Is Born co-star, Lady Gaga, caused shockwaves back in February.
Though both have denied that they were in a secret relationship.
claimed that Irina had allegedly accused Bradley of cheating with the singer on numerous occasions, adding that it had caused endless problems between the two.
Irina, according to the source, also took an issue with Bradley allegedly spending time with Gaga at very odd hours.
And following those claims, the Poker Face hitmaker, who was performing in Las Vegas last weekend, made her opinion known after being heckled by a group of fans keen to know where Bradley was now that he had split with the mother of his child Lea De Seine.
She told the crowd: "And one more thing, be kind or f**k off."
How long were Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk together and do they have any children?

By November of that year, the two love birds had moved in together in New York's West Village.
In March 2017, Irina gave birth to their adorable daughter Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper., who just turned two.
Why did Irina Shayk unfollow Lady Gaga?
Back in February 2019, just days before Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's steamy performance at the Oscars, Irina unfollowed the singer.
After the shock move, a source told The Sun:
"The stories about Irina being sick of Gaga have some truth to them – it’s not that she dislikes Gaga or is jealous of her, but she’s sick of the constant stories about her ‘close’ relationship to Bradley.
"She’s no stranger to cheating rumours – she dated Cristiano Ronaldo after all – but it’s been a long publicity campaign and she’s ready for it to end.
";She’s actually thrilled at how successful the movie has been and really wanted to go to the Oscars.
"It’s undeniable that Gaga and Bradley have chemistry – they have a lot more in common than Irina and Bradley – but that’s why the movie worked."
Who else has Irina Shayk dated?
Before dating Hollywood hunk Bradley Cooper, the Russian model was in a relationship with Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
The pair had dated for five years before calling it quits in January 2015.
Just months later in Spring of the same year she started dating Bradley.
