Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito’s relationship began with a whirlwind romance, marked by an engagement in 2006 and a secretive wedding in December of the same year. However, their union was short-lived, as they separated just four months after tying the knot, with Esposito filing for divorce in May 2007.

While Cooper hinted at the split being mutual and not regretting it, Esposito later expressed her ordeal with undiagnosed celiac disease in her 2014 memoir, vaguely referencing a toxic relationship, widely speculated to be with Cooper.

Their paths diverged, with Cooper moving on to relationships with other high-profile figures like Renée Zellweger, Zoe Saldaña, and Irina Shayk, while Esposito found love again with Jesper Vesterstrøm.

Despite their past, when Cooper’s duet with Lady Gaga at the 2019 Oscars sparked media frenzy and comments from Esposito, she clarified that her response to a joke about their chemistry was simply lighthearted.
