“I hope Leah learns from my mistakes”: Bradley Cooper on how he raises his daughter by Irina Shayk 07/07/2023, 12:15

Bradley has a 6-year-old daughter, Leia, with top model Irina Shayk. The young father devotes all his free time to the baby and takes care of her while Irina flies on business trips. The 48-year-old actor admitted that his experience with fatherhood was affected by psychological trauma. Bradley’s father, Charles Cooper, died of lung cancer in 2011.“He gave me a huge gift by dying in my arms. Seeing death is so amazing,” Bradley admitted.

According to the actor, the family drama took a toll on his mental state over time. “After that I had a decidedly nihilistic attitude for a while. Something like, “Wow, I’m going to die.” For a while, everything was not very good, until I realized that I should just accept myself as I really am and try to make peace with it, “said the young father.

Cooper admitted that he was inspired by his late father’s parenting style. The actor and director of the film A Star Is Born works hard on himself, but he is not afraid to show that he is imperfect in the eyes of his daughter.

“You learn from your ancestor’s mistakes. I will be doing a lot of things that I hope Leia will learn from. And then I will be hard on myself so that I can grow. To help her take the burden off my shit,” Bradley admitted.

The lead actor in the movie Nightmare Alley indicated that it was his daughter’s appearance that made him solve his problem. “The best I can do for Leia and myself. It makes life so much better,” People quotes Cooper, referring to the Bear Grylls show.

Bradley couldn’t keep the family together with Irina. The actor and the top model broke up when Leah was two years old. Cooper and Shayk remain on friendly terms for the sake of their daughter. In November 2022, there were rumors that the couple would get back together. During a recent walk, the young parents communicated very warmly. Paparazzi caught the moment when Irina hugged Bradley.

Cooper is often spotted on the streets of New York with Leah. The artist goes for a walk with his daughter in any weather.

Now Leah’s mother is in France. Irina has already appeared on the catwalk of Paris Fashion Week several times.
