Irina Shayk Gets Candid About Bradley Cooper (British Vogue)
The usually private Irina Shayk has given an emotional, revealing interview to British Vogue, in which she opens up about losing her father, and life in the wake of her breakup with Bradley Cooper. “In all good relationships you bring your best and your worst — it’s just the nature of a human being,” she reflected. “Two great people don’t have to make a good couple.”
“I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other,” she added. “Life without B is new ground…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.’”
