Irina Shayk talks ex Bradley Cooper, life as a single mom to 2-year-old daughter Lea in rare interview
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Irina Shayk, who is known for being notoriously quiet about her relationship with ex Bradley Cooper and their 2-year-old daughter, Lea, is peeling back the curtain on her private life.
The 34-year-old supermodel opened up to British Vogue for the magazine's March 2020 cover story, where she took a look back at her four-year relationship with Cooper, 45.
“I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst – it’s just the nature of a human being,” she told the fashion outlet (via People magazine). "Two great people don’t have to make a good couple.”

She continued: “I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other. Life without B is new ground.”
The couple first started dating in the spring of 2015 and welcomed daughter Lea in March 2017. Although they were known to keep their love life private, the pair's summer 2019 breakup made its way to the public eye.

On being a single mom, Shayk told British Vogue: “It’s hard to find a balance between being a single mom and being a working woman and provider.
"Trust me, there are days I wake up and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I don’t know what to do, I’m falling apart,'" she admitted.
