Bradley Cooper's Ex-Wife Posted a Cryptic Response to His Relationship With Lady Gaga

The 2019 Oscars may now be a distant memory, but everyone and their uncle is still talking about the captivating performance from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper of their A Star Is Born track, “Shallow." The chemistry was undeniable during their show-stealing appearance, and Jackson Maine-Ally shippers across the globe (opens in new tab) were left declaring that true love was very much real in that exact moment.

Ignoring the online frenzy, 44-year-old Cooper made it clear that he couldn’t have been more besotted with his date (opens in new tab) for the evening, long-term girlfriend and mother of his child, Irina Shayk. But, even with the couple ditching the after show party together (opens in new tab), as well as the photographic proof of a friendship between the two women (opens in new tab), everyone is still focusing on those pesky love triangle rumors. Including the actor’s ex-wife, Jennifer Esposito.

On Monday evening, actor David Spade posted a screenshot of Gaga and Cooper’s Oscars performance, and asked his followers in the caption: “Is there any chance these 2 aren’t fucking?” I mean, it’s blunt.

But here in lies the plot twist. Grab your popcorn, ladies and gentlemen, as Esposito later mysteriously commented “Ha” underneath the image, with zero explanation.

Is that a 'ha' as in “don’t be so ridiculous, David Spade," or is it a 'ha' as in “oh David Spade, if only you knew.” So many questions right now, and I have no idea what I'm even rooting for anymore.

Cooper and Esposito were married back in 2006, before quickly divorcing just a year later. Following their split, the actor went on to date model Suki Waterhouse for two years, before meeting Irina Shayk in 2015. Shayk and Cooper, who have always had a notoriously private relationship, now share their one-year-old daughter, Lea.

Meanwhile, it was confirmed just last week that his co-star Lady Gaga had split from fiancé Christian Carino (opens in new tab).

Anyway, according to Gaga’s most recent Instagram caption, shared as a tribute to their intimate "Shallow" performance, Bradley Cooper is simply “a true friend and artistic genius”. And everyone knows that life’s real truth lies within Instagram captions, right?
