'Kindred spirit' Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper addressed 'romance' after 'fooling everyone'
2019 Academy Awards. The performance began with the pair taking to the stage hand-in-hand and sitting at opposite sides of a piano. Towards the final part of the song, Bradley joined Gaga on the piano stool and they sang into the same microphone as she rested her head on Bradley’s shoulder. The electrifying performance led people to become certain that the A-listers were an item, and even more so when they split from their respective partners. Gaga broke off her engagement to talent agent Christian Carino after two years together just one week before the Oscars.Bradley and his partner Irina Shayk also split four months later after four years together.The pair also share a daughter, Lea, who is now five.Nevertheless, both Gaga and Bradley have spoken out and explained that their red-hot chemistry was nothing more than good acting.Speaking to Oprah in 2020, Gaga said that they “did a really good job at fooling everyone”.In a separate chat with the host for Elle in 2019, Gaga added: “We made a love story. For me, as a performer and as an actress, of course we wanted people to believe that we were in love.“We wanted people to feel that love at the Oscars, we worked hard on it, we worked for days.
