Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk ‘locked in custody battle over daughter Lea, 2,’ claim reports

BRADLEY Cooper and Irina Shayk and Irina Shayk are locked in a custody battle over their daughter Lea, according to a new report.

Grazia magazine claims the pair are at war over who'll raise the 2-year-old as Irina is keen to move to New York, while Bradley will stay in Los Angeles for his film career.

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.”

In February this year, Bradley's steamy Oscars performance with his A Star Is Born co-star, Lady Gaga, caused shockwaves as it was speculated that the two were in a secret relationship.

Gaga, 33, denied the allegations at the time, hitting back: "Yes, people saw love and guess what? That’s what we wanted you to see...

"When you’re singing love songs, that’s what you want people to feel."

The Sun Online also revealed how Bradley and Lady Gaga were speaking everyday following his split from Irina.

But a pal said that Bradley would find it too disrespectful to his ex to be anymore than friends with Gaga.

They explained: “There’s no way Gaga and Bradley will get 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.
