Lady Gaga [1] and Bradley Cooper [2]'s chemistry during their 2019 Oscars performance [3] was so dazzling, it left many fans blushing [4] and wondering. However, Gaga set the record straight about their relationship during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! [5] on Wednesday: the only romance between these two comes from their acting.
"Yes, people saw love, and guess what? That's what we wanted you to see!" Gaga explained. "This is a love song, 'Shallow.' The movie, A Star Is Born [6], it's a love story."
Hear that, folks? Nothing to see here except a couple of genuinely talented performers. There's no denying Bradley and Gaga have a strong connection; they've both spoken about it on numerous occasions [7]. But every element of their fiery Oscars performance was meticulously planned, down to the longing looks. Not to mention, Bradley is in a long-term relationship with model Irina Shayk [8], and Gaga only recently ended her engagement with Christian Carino [9].
