Suki Waterhouse Alludes To ‘Dark’ Breakup With Bradley Cooper For First Time
Before the days of Daisy Jones and the Six and motherhood, Suki Waterhouse and Bradley Cooper were once an ‘item’. Talk about a throwback.
The former couple, who dated from 2013 to 2015, and their romance were a regular item in the tabloids at the time, with photos of the couple attending Wimbledon together in London, to reading books in Paris.
Waterhouse, who was 21 years old when they began dating, and Cooper, who was aged 38, split after two years, which Waterhouse alludes to in a recent interview about heartbreak and refers to a ‘dark’ story which happened behind the scenes.
‘I really will say that I’m pretty strong at this point,’ she recently told British Vogue, ‘but when something very public happens to you and the story behind it is dark and difficult, and you’re actually not doing well, and you can’t explain yourself to the world, that’s very isolating and disorientating’.

‘It probably has taken a decade to work myself out and actually be able to have this expansion in my life,’ she added.
The actor, who recently gave birth to a child with Robert Pattinson, also said that one’s 20s are ‘pretty sadistic’. ‘The love I experienced [then] was only ever a fetishisation, and I think when you only get loved in that way, you only get punished,’ she said, noting: ‘When you get into your 30s you’re almost instantly afforded a little bit more respect. It’s kind of delightful and shocking at the same time.’
Cooper has since become a father to a daughter, Lea de Seine, with his ex Irina Shayk, and is currently dating supermodel Gigi Hadid.
