Bradley Cooper is every inch the doting dad as he holds hands with daughter Lea during NYC stroll
Bradley Cooper was a real dad as he walked the Seine in New York City with his daughter Lea on Wednesday.
The 49-year-old actor sweetly held his seven-year-old daughter’s hand as they crossed a street in the bustling Big Apple.
Bradley, who shares his daughter with ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk, wore a ‘Pearl Jam’ hat, flannel shirt, blue pants and suede shoes for the outing.
He also carried his daughter’s belongings in adorable style, slinging her pink backpack over his shoulder and wearing her sparkly jacket.
The Hangover star recently returned to New York after spending the last few days of summer on a sailboat in the Mediterranean with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid.

During their travels they met other celebrities, including the pregnant Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Acklerley, as well as Benedict Cumberbatch.
Little Lea was also there: last week she was spotted on a banana boat with Bradley and Gigi off the coast of southern France.
Meanwhile, Irina has a star history with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kanye West and was also recently linked to Tom Brady.
Bradley and Irina were first linked in 2015. In 2016, they announced they were a couple. In 2017, they had their daughter, but they split two years later.
Shortly after their split, it became clear that they had decided to split custody and both continue living in New York to make co-parenting easier, via TMZ.
In fact, she and Bradley are such close co-parents that they’ve made sure to live just a few blocks apart in Greenwich Village to raise their daughter.
“He is a real, active father – not a nanny,” Irina said High snobiety‘Lea went on holiday with him for almost two weeks – I didn’t call them once.’
Irina said in an interview with She.

“He’s the best father Lea and I could ever imagine. It always works, but it always works because we make it work,” she raved.
Irina, who comes from an industrial Soviet city at the foot of the Urals, said she and Bradley hoped to give their daughter a normal upbringing despite their fame, since they both came from “normal backgrounds.”
Bradley has been linked to Gigi since October 2023 and the two are often spotted in public enjoying short dates together.

Earlier this year, Bradley gave an interview to the British Film Institute and noted that there was a lot of public attention on his private life.
“I definitely think I’m a private person,” he mused. “But you almost have to admit that it’s impossible to be private these days.”
The star admitted: ‘So it’s more about accepting reality, rather than creating my own reality that doesn’t exist.’
