Bradley Cooper, Irina Shayk Breakup Untrue After All? Couple Holds Hands Amid Split Rumors

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk dismissed breakup rumors as they showed they are still very much together when they took a stroll while holding hands. The outing happened on Sunday evening in Manhattan.

The couple's recent sighting happened just days after a report claimed that they have split. One angle that was pitched was Cooper's mother's alleged disapproval of her son's intimate relationship with the model.

But a source close to the couple told E! Online that there is no breakup between Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk.

"They are still very much together. Irina gets along great with Bradley's mother. They are extremely close and hang out even when Bradley is not around. They have a vacation coming up as well," the source claimed.

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk's breakup first made rounds when an article from The Sun claimed that the 41-year-old actor parted ways with his lover over arguments with his mother. The report added that Shayk has developed a close relationship with British model Stephen James.

It was reported that James was with Shayk during the latter's 30th birthday on January 6.

"Irina thought things were going brilliantly with Bradley and is very upset they ended this way. The pair had been getting on really well, but things went south over the Christmas period," a supposed close friend of Shayk told The Sun.

Prior to their recent public appearance, the couple were last seen together on Christmas Eve as they headed their way to Nobu in Malibu for a dinner.

It was noted that the "Burnt" star is very close to his mother Gloria with whom he shares a house in Los Angeles. The actor even admitted that he and his mother "needed each other" following the death of his father.

The rumors on Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk's breakup comes exactly one year after the latter severed ties with her former beau of five years, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
