Just about seven months after Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper broke the internet with their divorce; the model is back on the cover of British Vogue, sharing intimate details of her post-divorce life.
Shayk and Cooper, who co-parent a three-year-old daughter together, split back in June 2019. This all happened in the midst of the A Star is Born mania and a lot of cheating speculations.
Irina Shayk, 34, is notoriously quiet about her relationship with ex Bradley Cooper and their 3-year-old daughter, Lea. However, she recently decided to open up about her private life.
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.
The couple first started dating in the spring of 2015 and welcomed daughter Lea in March 2017. Although they kept their love life private, the pair’s summer 2019 breakup made its way to the public eye.
“I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other. Life without B is new ground,” she said.
Shayk pulled the plug on her marriage
According to sources, Shayk was the one who ultimately decided to end her marriage with Cooper. Apparently, she didn’t feel like he was giving the level of commitment she wanted.
According to them, the differences and endless fighting made their lives unbearable. They realized that they were only together because of their daughter; so they decided to split up.
However, on Monday, Shayk took to Instagram to share her cover issue, as well as thank her pal and the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, for featuring her on it.
“And thank you for your friendship @MertAlas @MacPiggott… Can’t wait to celebrate it with all of you ❤️ #BritishVogue @AliKavoussi,” Shayk concluded.
