Bradley Cooper has dated several women over the years, most relationships only lasting a year or two. Over time he has developed somewhat of a reputation, particularly among his former loves. For example, he has been accused of being an opportunist with respect to dating. It is claimed that he will often date co-stars only to break up with them after the film no longer needs publicity.
He has also been accused of being manipulative and being a “player.” Furthermore, he has received criticism because of his close relationship with his mother and it has been claimed that she plays a large role in deciding who he ends up dating. He also has been accused of letting his friends meddle in his dating relationships.
Is this all true? For the past four years, he at least appears to have been in a committed relationship with Irina Shayk and they both seem pleased with each other. It is possible that he has changed his ways or that he was previously just misperceived.
