Irina Shayk (34) does not like to talk about her private life. If you are constantly in public at work, it is nice to have relationships and family all to yourself, she said in an interview in early 2019. The model has now made an exception for the British "Vogue" and has commented on the separation of actor Bradley Cooper (45, "A Star is Born") for the first time. The couple made this public in June 2019.
"You show your best and worst in every respect"That's how people are predisposed," says Shayk about their four-year partnership with the actor, from which their daughter Lea (2) emerged. The ex-couple shares custody. "Just because two people are great doesn't mean they make a good couple. "
It doesn't seem easy
She appreciates the time she spent with Cooper. To live without "B", as she calls him, is a completely new, strange experience and certainly not always easy, because Shayk has a busy schedule both as a model and as a mother.
"Believe me, there are days when I wake up and think, 'Oh my god, I don't know what to do, I'm going to break down,'" admits the 34-year-old, who mainly lives in New York, while Cooper lives in Los Angeles.
It also seems to have become emotional during the interview. In an Instagram post, the model thanked "Vogue" editor-in-chief Edward Enninful. "Thank you for always making me laugh, even though I felt like crying during the interview."
End of a dream couple
Model Irina Shayk and actor Bradley Cooper were instantly a dream couple when they announced in 2015 that they were together. Daughter Lea De Seine was born shortly afterwards and the sky seemed to hang full of violins.
After the 2019 Academy Awards, at which Bradley Cooper presented an emotional performance with Lady Gaga, it was whispered whether the couple split up. A few months later, the relationship ended.
