While Irina Shayk didn't intentionally play matchmaker, the supermodel clearly had a serendipitous role in her ex's budding relationship with her friend. Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid initially fueled dating rumors in late 2023 and seemingly confirmed their relationship by holding hands in public in January 2024. Although none of the parties involved have spoken out about the supposed love triangle, a source informed Page Six that Shayk has mixed feelings about it.
"Irina is not happy with Bradley for dating another supermodel, but one who is younger," the insider revealed. "It took her by surprise." It remains unclear how Shayk really feels about a friend of hers dating her former partner, especially given that she was reportedly ready to settle down with the Hollywood A-lister, as another insider previously shared with Page Six. After they split in 2019, Shayk and Cooper repeatedly sparked reconciliation rumors.
The former couple was spotted on public outings and even family vacations. In the summer of 2022, after one such tropical getaway, Shayk and Cooper were reported to be trying for another child and contemplating getting back together, according to yet another Page Six source. Notably, just a couple of months before Cooper was linked to Hadid, in late 2023, he was photographed looking cozy with Shayk during one of their family trips.
