Bradley Cooper has a legacy of good looks, smooth moves, and being the star who never settles down. The 45-year-old actor has dated many gorgeous women in the past. The handsome star was married for a brief period to actress Jennifer Esposito and he was linked with A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Renee Zellweger, and Zoe Saldana. However, he then met Russian supermodel Irina Shayk with whom he went on to have the longest relationship. But they too decided to split up after four years together, and they continue to remain friends. Irina spoke about their relationship to British Vogue and it says much about how they view it, "Two great people don't have to make a good couple," according to Mirror UK.

However, there is one lady that is constant in Cooper's life; someone the star is completely and undeniably in love with; someone he is committed to for all his life. And that is his two-year-old daughter, Lea, who he now no-parents with ex Irina. Since when Lea came into his life, the Hangover actor is doing his best to make sure he is there for her. Earlier this year, Little Lea was spotted along with her dad as he gave her a ride on his shoulders on the streets of New York on his way to the gym. The two reportedly had lunch with his ex and Lea's mum at Pier59 Studios, according to Page Six. This shows how committed the two are to remain friends and put their daughter's wellbeing first.

On one occasion, he was spotted with the toddler on his neck, clutching her dad's hair and holding on to him and he, in turn, was carrying baby stuff like a reusable thermos and her lunch box in one hand and holding her legs with the other. He was spotted again with his daughter who was riding a cute pink scooter and a small helmet. As they reached the intersection, the attentive dad picked the scooter up and held her hand as they navigated through the crossing. Last winter, the father and daughter enjoyed a memorable time as they walked around in New York on a snowy morning. The two were spotted chuckling and enjoying every bit of the stroll and looked adorable bundled up in jackets and beanies.

But it isn't just for the sake of their daughter the two stars try to remain on talking terms. They found a middle ground where they found the space to remain genuine friends. About eight months after their split, the two stars shared a chat and even posed together at the BAFTA afterparty, according to USA Today. Although they arrived separately, they mingled around as a duo through the ceremony. Last year, when they were still a couple, they graced many events with their enviable good looks and charm that set them apart from other couples.

According to the Daily Mail, Cooper was spotted recently wearing a mask to protect himself against the pandemic and carrying Lea in hand. He has been spending quality time with his daughter in the last few months as he got time away from work to remain indoors. Speaking of the co-parents, a source told Daily Mail, "They have a good system in place for Lea and they take turns with her. They also come together as a family and do things when they can. They communicate a lot and are good friends. They both love their daughter more than anything and they come together for her. They are getting along well and everything is very positive. It's still a transition period and they are trying to figure out how it's going to work going forward, but they are in a good place."

According to a source quoted by Hollywood Life, Cooper is a hands-on father. “He’s the best dad, he’s so bonded with Lea and shares all the duties equally with Irina,” told the source. Lea is often spotted with her dad since she was an infant as he took her around on strolls around the city.

“He’s been making an effort to take projects that aren’t too far from New York so he can be there to share custody, he’s very committed. And so protective, if it were up to him he’d carry her everywhere. He’s totally devoted to Lea, it’s really sweet to see how much he loves being a dad.”

Well, as much as we've enjoyed Cooper in all his savvy roles, by far, his role as a father is the most inspiring and admirable. He shows that you can continue to remain a committed father even if your marriage doesn't work out. The best gift you can give your child is a sense of belonging and safety and Cooper and his ex seem to know this best. Here are the two of them dressed up for Halloween, with the A-lister not giving a damn about how he appeared to onlookers. Lea is one lucky girl.

Here's a video of the completely smitten dad who speaks to Oprah about how fatherhood has changed him. He also describes how his baby girl shares an uncanny resemblance to his father. Cooper was very close to his dad and losing him was one of the biggest heartbreak of his life. It's probably also Lea's similarity with his late dad that has drawn him closer to his daughter. He jokes about him literally talking to his daughter and checking if it was his dad in this clip.
