Is Irina Shayk Replacing Bradley Cooper With Justin Theroux? Here’s The Truth

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk unexpectedly broke up last month, which resulted in Lady Gaga’s name being dragged into the mess as fans speculated that the “A Star Is Born” actress might have something to do with it. But a recent report suggests that Shayk might have already moved on with Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband.

The story came from the entertainment-focused publication Woman’s Day, according to Gossip Cop. The magazine reported that Shayk and Theroux met by chance last month at a restaurant right after the former’s split from Cooper. While the two only recently met, the spark was there right at the onset, according to the publication.

“She said she felt instantly relaxed in his company,” a supposed source told the publication. ”They met twice the following week for dinner, where she said they had an immediate connection and spark.”

Despite the chemistry, Shayk is reportedly reluctant to go full throttle and wants to take things slow. As explained by the tipster, the model “doesn’t want to rush into anything given her split from Bradley is so fresh” and Theroux is okay with that.

Apparently, she also doesn’t want to go public at this point yet. “She turned down an invitation to his birthday dinner next month as she doesn’t want to draw any attention to their budding romance,” the sourced added.

For people who may think that it might just be a rebound thing for Shayk, the source said that it’s the real deal. “She insists it’s not a rebound fling and says she has butterflies whenever she sees him, which she hasn’t had for a very long time,” the tipster explained.

But Gossip Cop became suspicious of the story as the fact-checking site has debunked a story from Woman’s Day stating that both Shayk and Lady Gaga were supposed to be pregnant with Cooper’s babies. So the site got in touch with its own reliable source, who confirmed that Shayk and Theroux are not a couple.

This also agrees with a recent report by E! News saying that Shayk is not yet ready to go back to the dating scene. “Irina isn't dating anyone at the moment,” a source told the outlet. “She's focused on her daughter and spending time with her.”

However, the model is not ruling out dating anyone. It’s just not her priority. “She would like to meet someone in the future, but it's not a priority at the moment,” the source added. “She just got out of a long-term relationship and wants to take time to heal.”
