Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper: On Screen or Off Screen Romance?
Irina Shayk has to be one of the most understanding girlfriends known to man or she just has a really good sense of humor.
This is a thought because many people around the world were wondering what was crossing the Russian model’s mind as she watched Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga engage in intense eye contact while performing their romantic ballad “Shallow” from “A Star is Born” .
In the Oscar nominated film, Gaga and Cooper played the star-crossed lovers Jackson and Ally , and the stars do a really good job of making audiences believe they were artistic soulmates that are passionately in love .
“Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga acting like they’re the only people in the room for 3 minutes straight,” a person tweeted.

The chemistry was indisputable when Cooper joined the global pop icon-turned Oscar-nominated actress on stage at the piano bench. The two were close, gazing into each other’s eyes and wrapping their arms around each other while singing the duet chorus “In the sha-ha, sha-la-low…”
This became the epitome of pop- culture memes, and the performance received a double, I repeat double- standing ovation. According to the Daily Mail, Shayk was one of the first people to get out of her seat to applaud the performance.

However, the moment also proceeded the trials and tribulations that Cooper and Gaga endured during the months-long awards season, including rumor reports and hearsay about their relationship.
Endless ranting and chatter about how much the pair bonded while bringing that sexual fire to their roles intensified again this past week after Gaga announced the fact that she called off her engagement to Christian Carino, a talent agent that she dated for over two years and had been her lovely date to the Golden Globes and other award shows ( she showed up sans date to the Oscars).

Gaga’s representative had confirmed that she and Carino had ended their engagement some time earlier ( some unknown time). “Relationships sometimes end,” the source stated. There’s no long dramatic story.”
Seeing a statement such as “no dramatic story” has me inclined to think that there wasn’t an outside force ( like a swoon-worthy co-star and director ) that came between Carino and Gaga.
As other films were released, bumping out “A Star is Born” for that number one status, the conjecture about Cooper and Gaga’s relationship kept the film in the tabloid streets, accompanying the Oscars conversation of 2019.

Fans of “A Star is Born” have harped on the “Jackson and Ally Forever” scenario so much that they have no issue fantasizing about Gaga and Cooper falling in love while making the film. Back in October, it was reported that Cooper was secretly “despondent” with Shayk, his girlfriend of nearly four years and the mother of his child.

The notoriously private Cooper and Shayk shut the rumors down by putting on a glamorous show together at awards ceremonies the past couple of months. Cooper and Shayk looked like their foundation was solid on the Oscars red carpet Sunday night.

It’s worth mentioning that Gaga sat next to Shayk, not Cooper, in their row at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Cooper sat on Shayk’s other side. Indeed, it would be too hot to handle if the world saw Gaga and Cooper sit next to each other. Shayk and Gaga embraced one another after she received the Oscar for best original song.

The crowd also loved that Gaga exuberantly expressed gratitude to Cooper after she won the best original song for co-writing “Shallow”, the only Oscar for “A Star is Born” on Sunday.
“Bradley, there is not a single person on the planet that could’ve sung this song with me but you. Thank you for believing in us, thank you so much,” Gaga enthused.
To be quite frank, it’s highly probable that Lady Gaga has strong feelings for Bradley Cooper. Literally all the signs point to this, and I can’t think of any other convincing role she’s had since The Countess in American Horror Story ( sorry not sorry). I think the real question the masses want to understand is if both Gaga and Cooper acted on this alleged chemistry .This , if true, could be the love story of the time ( similar to that of the Brangelina romance) , or they’ve just honed into the role of lovers so well ( to sell the essence of the movie) that they won’t be seen looking like love birds after the hoopla of the awards has come to an end. We will be watching!
