At first glance, those glancing at the photos snapped this week of former partners Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk in Italy could be forgiven for thinking the couple is still very close.
However, subtle signs in their interactions during their boat trip in Venice, says body language expert Judi James, suggest that the couple – who dated from 2015 to 2019 – are far from being together.
Bradley, 48, and Irina, 37 – who is now in a relationship with the NFL legend Tom Brady – were the epitome of amicable exes as they enjoyed the sights and sounds of the romantic Italian city, when they were seen together smiling next to their six-year-old daughter Lea.
But while the former flames stood close together and appeared cheerful as they took in the postcards, Shayk’s body language suggested they might be from a different world altogether now.
Bradley, 48, and Irina, 37 – who dated from 2015 to 2019 – watched closely in Venice this weekend, with daughter Lea, six… but subtle signs in their body language suggested Shayk – who is dating Tom Brady – very happy is co-parenting
James claims that a closer examination of their body language suggests that Shayk’s mind could be back in Florida, where Brady currently resides.
She explains, “The close-up photos might make it look like Bradley and Irina are about to make a romantic reconnection during this Italian vacation, but a longer look at their cues suggests that Irina could hardly be less interested in any case.” can be. ‘
However, that’s not the case for Cooper, who is a loving co-parent, James suggests.
Bradley’s body language makes him look charming, caring and polite.
‘He has his hand available to help his ex off the boat.
And there’s even a cheeky little arm spread as they sit down at the table, which somehow keeps his right arm wrapped around the back of Irina’s chair, in what could be the kind of affectionate gesture teenage boys do on a first date in the cinema. ‘
Charm personified: James says Cooper seems to be doing his best to be charming and chivalrous during the former couple’s family vacation to Venice…
Mother-of-one Shayk wore a long, black dress that hung over one shoulder and paired it with matching glamorous heeled sandals – but her choice of outfits could also indicate that she was on a different wavelength than her former partner.
James says, “It’s Irina who kind of looks like she’s on a different planet and time zone here.
Her outfit is especially alienating for a family vacation that involves getting on and off boats.
“While the others are dressed casually and for the sun, Irina is in black, complete with baseball cap, some very awkward and dangerous-looking loose pieces of fabric, and a pair of spidery black killer heels.”
And the fact that they’re enjoying a boat ride can make for romantic photos — but James says you can’t escape a cozy photo when you’re in a small boat, and the vibe at this family reunion is actually purely platonic.

Close – but platonic. James says you shouldn’t mistake a boat’s tight confines for a loving display, saying the body language clearly shows the couple isn’t getting back together anytime soon.
She says: “Their closeness also suggests that they are fairly relaxed in each other’s company, although traveling on a small boat normally requires people to stand close to each other and even touch.”
After their boat trip, the former couple headed to an alfresco lunch at lavish Torcello’s Locanda Ciprian. It was a family affair, as Bradley’s mother, Gloria Cooper, joined them for a day out.
In a photo taken during lunch outdoors, Cooper is seen casually hanging his arm over the back of Shayk’s chair, which also seemingly went unnoticed by the Russian model, who only had eyes for her cell phone.
James says, “When Bradley puts an arm around her chair, she’s busy checking her phone and looking distracted.
“Her body language and style choices are not reminiscent of a woman eager to rekindle a close relationship here.”
James claims that even Shayk’s outfit could alienate her from the rest of the casually clad party, saying, “While the others are casual and dressed for the sun, Irina is in black, complete with baseball cap and a pair of spidery black killer heels. .’
The former couple started dating in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Lea in March 2017.
They were together for four years before splitting in 2019, but the two stars have remained very close since going their separate ways – and are often seen with their young daughter.
A source told DailyMail.com this week that Irina’s new boyfriend Tom is fully supportive of her spending time with her ex, as he’s a “family man” and in the middle of co-parenting himself.
According to someone close to the situation, Tom, who recently separated from his wife of over ten years, Gisele Bündchen, 43, “respects” Irina’s situation and finds her even more “attractive” because she is able to peacefully to work together. older with Bradley.
Tom and Gisele, who married in 2009, share two children – Vivian, 10, and Benjamin, 13 – while he also has an older son, Jack, 15, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
