Irina Shayk talks co-parenting rules amid Bradley Cooper’s new relationship

Irina Shayk opened up about how she and her ex-fiancé Bradley Cooper raise their daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper in the spotlight.

The eight-year-old understands that her parents have busy careers, but they made sure she felt comfortable and protected.

Shayk told PEOPLE on Monday that Lea has very little digital access, almost none, and that they focused on building a loving community of friends around her.

The 39-year-old further explained that she tried to shield her daughter from unrealistic beauty standards while giving her love and attention.

However, she added that she felt strong and confident in her own skin as a mother, knowing who she was and what she stood for.

Both Shayk and Cooper shared 50/50 custody of Lea after their four-year romance ended in 2019, and they employed no nannies, raising their daughter together.

On Sunday, Cooper attended a football game with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, while Hadid shared a view from her VIP seat on Instagram.

The supermodel’s daughter Khai Malik often played with Lea, showing how their families intertwined.

Cooper said in October that children spoke their minds and he valued Lea’s opinions, even involving her in casting decisions.

Shayk previously told ELLE that they took daughtereverywhere with them and praised Cooper as the best father she could imagine.

For the unversed, Irina has been romantically linked to high-profile figures including Tom Brady, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kanye West.

Whereas, Bradley, who quit alcohol and cocaine at 29, previously divorced Jennifer Esposito and dated several actresses.

He also directed and wrote the film Is This Thing On?, scheduled to release in the United States on December 19.
