Despite Bradley Cooper [1] and Irina Shayk calling it quits [2] on their romance back in June 2019, the pair have seemingly maintained a pretty friendly bond since. In August 2022, the exes enjoyed a rare tropical getaway together [3], which the supermodel documented on Instagram with some beach photos of her and the "A Star Is Born" actor. They later had a run-in at the 2023 Met Gala [4] in May, and now they're back at the beach enjoying some fun in the sun, per Shayk's latest Instagram posts.
Over the course of their four-year relationship, Shayk and Cooper were spotted enjoying a few makeout sessions [5] while on vacation, staying close at events, and accompanying one another on red carpets. They even welcomed a daughter, Lea De Seine [6], in March 2017. At the time of their split, People [7] reported that a source said Cooper and Shayk had figured out a way to amicably share custody of their child and coparent.
Shayk gave Harper's Bazaar [8] an update on their parenthood journey back in April, telling the publication, "We're teaching our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people."
