A source tells ET that 'A Star Is Born' took a personal toll on both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's romantic relationships.
While A Star Is Born was both a critical and commercial hit, looks like the film took a personal toll on both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's romantic relationships.
Cooper and supermodel Irina Shayk split last Thursday after four years together -- after a source told ET that the two had been growing increasingly apart -- and Gaga and her ex-fiance, talent agent Christian Carino, split in February. Carino recently made headlines when he liked a sexy pic Shayk posted on Instagram post-breakup, but a source tells ET that Carino definitely wasn't trying to be petty with his social media behavior.
"Christian is an easygoing guy, the kind of guy that was never bothered by the mass attention Gaga got while they were together," the source notes. "He didn't go to Instagram for attention or for revenge. Christian was on the set of A Star Is Born and so was Irina. They all became friends."
"Christian and Irina have a lot in common, they both feel they lost love because of their partners' endless work and dedication to their careers," the source continues. "Christian liking Irina’s Instagram photo is just his way of being supportive of her."
The source says that 44-year-old Cooper and 33-year-old Shayk grew apart due to the actor being more focused on supporting A Star Is Born -- which he also directed -- and her being more involved with their 2-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine.
"After the movie was complete, Bradley became very involved in the promotion of the film, while Irina became very involved with the baby. They argued a great deal, and it affected their home life," the source says. "Their relationship didn't work out because Irina was looking for more of a family life."
However, the source says the exes are working things out so they can successfully co-parent.
"Irina is focusing on her child and holding herself together after a painful separation," the source says. "They are working on custody arrangements and want to make sure they work things out so they can co-parent."
A source previously told ET that Cooper and Shayk's relationship troubles began even before he started filming A Star Is Born, and that his intense chemistry with 33-year-old Gaga was not to blame for his split.
"Things were difficult before Bradley started filming A Star Is Born, but his dedication to his work while making the movie only made things harder at home," the source said. "The constant speculation about Bradley's relationship with Gaga -- while things were difficult at home -- didn't help the situation. But his relationship with Gaga is not the issue. They have many daily issues as parents and as professionals and have been fighting."
"Their troubles have been going on for quite some time and they even considered splitting during the release of the movie," the source continued. "They talked things through a great deal and seemed to hold off and keep up appearances for the time being. It was recommended they delay a split at what seemed to be the peak of his career because the negative attention would take away from the excitement of the release."
On Monday, Cooper was snapped enjoying a guys' night out at the Sunset Tower lounge in West Hollywood.
"He looked really upbeat and chill, as if he didn't have a care in the world," an eyewitness told ET. "He didn't appear to be stressed or sad."
