Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper keep things low-key at home while working in the spotlight. In a new interview, the supermodel says their approach centers on privacy, routine, and warmth for their 8-year-old, Lea De Seine.
The former couple, who welcomed Lea in 2017, are careful about screens and attention, even as the Maestro actor’s career and the runway regular’s campaigns stay busy. Consequently, their goal is simple and steady. It’s about a loving setup, not a public one.
Irina Shayk reveals how she and Bradley Cooper protect daughter from public eye
As per the PEOPLE interview dated November 17, 2025, Shayk said, “She has very, very little digital access, almost down to none.” She added that their priority is “building community, friends and just giving love.” Moreover, she framed the core mission clearly, saying, “This is the best thing that you could give to your kid, raising them in a loving family.”
Shayk also noted that Lea now “clearly understands the jobs” her parents have. Yet the day-to-day remains grounded. Therefore, Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper‘s parenting choices favor school, friends, and activities over publicity. Additionally, both parents have kept red carpets selective for Lea, which aligns with their longer pattern of privacy.
Irina kept it neat and real about co-parenting with the “A Star Is Born” alum. In a past interview, she drew a clean line between their roles. “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,” she said, then describing the Oscar-nominated star as “the most amazing dad.”
PEOPLE further quotes Shayk on confidence after motherhood. “To be a woman in power, you have to feel comfortable in your own skin,” she said, connecting that mindset to her recent “Pirelli Calendar” work.
For context, Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper dated in 2015 and split in 2019. Although they’ve spoken respectfully about each other’s roles with Lea. The “Hangover” star also opened up about fatherhood on “Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge”, stating, “You learn from your predecessor’s mistakes and I’ll make tons that hopefully Lea will learn from and then being rigorous with myself to grow.”
