Irina Shayk opens up about her ex: 'Bradley Cooper is a very dedicated and capable dad who doesn't need a nanny'
Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper broke up in 2019 after four years of living together and have since maintained a friendly relationship. They equally take care of their daughter Lea De Seine. In a new interview, the Russian model characterized Bradley as a 'hands-on daad' with 'no nanny'
In a new interview with HIGHStyle magazine, the 35-year-old Russian model spoke about her ex-partner Bradley Cooper's relationship with their four-year-old daughter Lea. Irina Shayk and the famous 46-year-old actor broke up in 2019 after a four-year relationship, but they foster a very friendly relationship and are equally involved in her upbringing.
"He’s a very dedicated and resourceful dad who doesn’t need a nanny. He took Lea on a two-week vacation and I didn't have to call them once, " Irina revealed in the interview.
"Me and her father are very strict. When she finishes eating, she gets up from the table, takes her plate, says ‘thank you.’ Without ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ she’s not getting anything", Irina says.
'It’s hard because she has so many toys. I had one doll, and I still have this doll. Blonde, blue eyes, big Russian doll. My grandma used to make clothes for her. And I always explain, ‘Look, this is my doll. I had only one.’ Or sometimes, ‘You have this candy. I used to have candy only for Christmas," she adds.

In March, Irina revealed to Elle magazine that she and Bradley are equally involved in parenting and that she doesn't really know what to call their relationship and situation.
"I never understood the term co-parenting,” she says. “When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mother, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad. Co-parenting is parenting," Irina explained bluntly.

Posing for the cover of Vogue last year, she revealed that as a single mother, some days are harder than the others. "It’s hard to find a balance when you have the role of both a single mother, a caregiver, and a busy woman. Believe me, there are days when I wake up and think, 'Oh my God, I don't know what to do, I'm falling apart."
