Split And Match

[Blind Gossip] Have you noticed a dramatic uptick in the number of paparazzi shots of this woman since she split from her movie star man?

Before the split, you rarely saw her with her child. Now it’s practically every day! Frequently in coordinated designer outfits.

None of this is accidental.

She does not dress the child that way simply because she gets the clothes for free. She is actually getting paid for them to wear the clothes and paid for the photographs that are scheduled in advance. It’s great “casual” publicity for the brands with whom she has relationships.

Yes, those staged photos are business deals. The sudden portrayal of her as this hands-on, doting mother is just a bonus.

Will the actor object to his child being used this way?

Not likely. You see, back when they were together, he was the one responsible for staging many of those happy photos himself!

    Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk

    I think it’s pretty * parenting to bring a child into a pr relationship and use them for publicity. Both are them are at fault for it.

    Clearly this is Bradley cooper’s ex beard and their daughter .

    And neither is the better parent if they put on a charade for media attention.

    Irina, Bradley and theit daughter.
    Uh… none of them? Kids are not photo props or toys. That’s j
    ust sad.

    I hate to say it but she does seem more doting than him.

    I don’t know. I am guessing her if other rumours about him are to be believed and the creation of their daughter is purely to quash those rumours. Although I guess she’s equally bad for going along with it.

    Bradley Cooper and Irina S…

    She has been in the British papers almost daily. Who wears spanx (showing in one pic) and designer clothing to sit in a sandpit at a playpark with a toddler unless this is staged

    Irina Shayk – pictures of her and their daughter in matching Burberry outfits

    Irina Sheyk, Cooper’s most recent contract ‘girlfriend’. You used to hardly ever see her with the child, and now they’re all over the place.

    I think Brad is probably the better parent. For one thing, his mom is close by to help. Bradley always looks genuinely happy when he’s with his daughter, and I don’t see that with Irina.

    Irina Shayk.

    Bradley Cooper.

    The whole thing gives me the skeeves. Fake PR marriage. Pimping out the child for clothing publicity. I feel sorry for the little girl to be honest.

    Better parent? One who doesn’t use their daughter as a prop in a commercial….so neither. They might be brand ambassadors, but that little girl surely did not sign up to be one.

    Bradley and Irina

    He seemed like a good dad….both of them may be equally matched in the parenthood area.

    Bradley Cooper

    Irina Shayak (sp?)

    They both appear to be * poor selfish individuals, hopefully a child can change that but I wouldn’t back one over the other.

    [Optional] Which one do you think is the better parent? I dunno

  53. ItsBouquet says

    Bradley Cooper and Irina Shyak (spelling?). Can’t say who’s the better parent. There’s a lot more to parenting than seeing pictures of someone. All the pictures prove is who’s got better PR

    I was wondering why we were suddenly seeing her with her baby. I thought it was to garner sympathy post split.
    Optional: We really can’t comment about their parenting from afar. I hope they’re both good parents and will continue to co-parent properly.

    [Optional] Which one do you think is the better parent? Poor kid, let Angelina kidnap… I mean adopt her and save her from a mockdashian life!!!

    They both seem to be good parents but I’m gonna go with her as she actually smiles when she’s with her.
