A source told Grazia: "Irina never felt at home in Los Angeles, particularly in their Pacific Palisades home because Brad’s mum lived there with them and that caused tension.

"Lea’s welfare is at the forefront of discussions and, on the surface, they are trying to keep things civil for their daughter."

The Sun Online revealed earlier this month that Irina had moved out of the Los Angeles mansion she shared with Bradley.

A source close to the couple said: “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.”

“Not now – they’re really good friends and still speak all the time, but it’s not his style to jump into another relationship straight away.

"Especially after all the rumours about them during A Star Is Born. He wouldn’t do that.”

In February, Gaga confirmed she’d ended her engagement to music mogul Christian Carino after two years together.

Bradley and Gaga's close friendship seemed to cause an issue with Irina, who unfollowed Gaga on Twitter.

Irina had kept a low profile after the break-up but over the weekend posted pictures from her new fashion campaign shoot in Iceland.

Gaga has always insisted she is just good friends with Bradley.
