Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk put on a 'united front' on holiday together

Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper sent fans into a frenzy when they hinted at being on holiday together despite having broken up in 2019. The pair share a child together, five-year-old Lea De Seine.

Irina posed up a storm earlier this week as she shared some topless pictures from her sunny holiday with ex-boyfriend, despite recently being linked to Tom Brady. The 37-year-old model took to Instagram on Sunday to share some snaps from their trip. In the pictures, Irina posed topless on a rocky terrain beside a waterfront.

Meanwhile, Bradley was shirtless in another snap as he wore a small pair of swimming trunks. He lay back in the kayak and shielded his eyes from the sun with his hand.

Bradley and Irina started dating in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper in March 2017. However, they decided to end their romance two years later. Despite this, they've managed to develop a close friendship and happily co-parent their daughter, which Charlotte Johnson, a sex and relationship expert from Mega Pleasure, says is aiding the former couple's "communication."

She exclusively told us: "It may not have been a viable relationship, but Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk have produced something so beautiful, as they continue to co-parent in a strong and inspiring way. Like with any relationship, they’ve managed to build a positive relationship because of their communication, ensuring their daughter was a top priority and no bad blood was felt between the pair.

"The key is active communication, defining their parenting styles and how their priorities as two Hollywood stars would evolve as their daughter grows up, and it appears the ex-couple have managed exactly this."

Similarly, Melissa Stone from Joy Love Dolls, who is a relationship and sex expert also cites: “It’s so lovely to see they remain friends and continue to combine their lives, whilst still enjoying holidays, day trips and activities with their daughter, ensuring they have a solid system in place and their daughter doesn’t feel the repercussions of a break-up.

It's important to remember that whilst Bradley and Irina aren’t a couple, they’re still in a relationship of sorts, and so presenting a united front is key. It’s a breath of fresh air to see the two holidaying together and enjoying co-parenting time with their daughter, as often a breakdown of a relationship can become toxic, negatively impacting on their daughter’s perception of a good relationship.”
