Lady Gaga and Irina Shayk Really Are Great Friends

Having the internet decide that your boyfriend has perfect, irresistible chemistry with his co-star probably isn’t the easiest thing in the world to read about on a daily basis, but Irina Shayk (opens in new tab) has nevertheless been endlessly supportive of Bradley Cooper’s success with Lady Gaga on their joint movie,  (opens in new tab)A Star Is Born (opens in new tab).

While Twitter was literally shouting from the rooftops for Cooper and Gaga to kiss during their performance of “Shallow” at last night’s Oscars, the supermodel, who’s been dating the 44-year-old actor for four years, remained the most supportive person in the room. Not only was she the first to give the pair a standing ovation (opens in new tab), but she also proved that she and Gaga have remained close friends throughout the whirlwind of fan-enthused love triangle stories (opens in new tab).

Following Gaga’s emotional acceptance speech for Best Original Song, which was filled with adoration for her co-star Cooper, she and 33-year-old Shayk shared an adorable, genuine hug on the front row. The model has the biggest grin on her face, and is clearly over the moon about Gaga’s win whether you like it or not.

Earlier in the evening, Cooper chose to walk the Oscars red carpet with Shayk (opens in new tab) as well as his mother, Gloria Campano, rather than his onscreen co-star. While it may have left Jackson Maine-Ally shippers everywhere a little heartbroken, the long-term couple looked more in love than ever, and it’s clear to see from their endless smiles and romantic gazes that a few tricky headlines haven’t caused any kind of rift between the two.

We’re all friends here and it's a drama-free zone, folks.
