Cape Town - While Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk are 100% over, the Hollywood actor is reportedly mulling over his friendship with Lady Gaga.
Gaga previously denied rumours alleging that she and Bradley were in love following their onscreen chemistry in A Star Is Born and their sizzling performance of Shallow at the Oscars, Cosmopolitan reports.
According to a few sources, however, there may be more to the story.
“He has a huge and overwhelming connection to Gaga but whether it becomes a real love story in their lives for all the world to see is premature,” a source told PEOPLE.
The source claims that Bradley’s connection with Gaga might have played a role in the star’s split with Irina.
“The rumours about Bradley and Gaga having a love affair didn’t help especially with his constant travels [promoting the film],” the source added.
Bradley and Irina called it quits after four years of dating. The two share a two-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine.
Before their breakup, a different source previously told PEOPLE that the two had been spending a lot of time apart.
“[Irina is] not focused on the celebrity part, or on the fame – she just wants to protect her family,” the source shared.
“Bradley is very into work and is trying to take advantage of every career opportunity right now.”
Bradley did reportedly try to save his relationship by slowing down his career in a bid to spend more time with his family, Cosmopolitan reports.
