Inside Bradley Cooper and Ex Irina Shayk’s Parenting Journey With Daughter Lea

When a baby was born to Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper in 2017, the pair had been a couple for two years.

And though they split up not long after their daughter Lea‘s second birthday, they have remained the model of togetherness when it comes to parenting.

“We always find a way,” Shayk told Elle last November. Cooper is “the best father Lea and I could dream of. It always works, but it always works because we make it work.”

Yet they’ve been known to make it look easy, the exes—who live blocks away from each other in New York—having taken Lea on numerous vacations and celebrated many a holiday as a trio, including this Halloween.

And when they’re parenting separately (Shayk finds the term “co-parenting” redundant), “We both take Lea everywhere with us,” the supermodel added. “She’s super easy. Two days ago, I had to go to the gym, so I just got her a drawing book and said, ‘Mama’s working out.’ She was drawing for an hour. Then we went to the Michael Kors fitting. She met all the girls.”

And Kors got a picture of a kitty to show for it.
