Bradley Cooper carries daughter Lea on his shoulders as they leave a birthday party in NYC
Bradley Cooper seemed wrapped around his daughter’s finger, as he carried his two-year-old Lea on his shoulders in New York City.
The 45-year-old A Star is Born actor appeared very in his element, as he bonded with his little girl after her play date on Sunday.
The adorable toddler looked thrilled getting a lift from her doting dad, as she held on closely to a purple balloon and the Academy Award nominee carried her pink tutu-inspired gift bag.

While the adorable party favor added a feminine touch to his outfit, the director kept his look laid-back in a pair of charcoal trousers, sneakers and a black bomber jacket.
Meanwhile, his mini-me’s fashion sense appears to be inherited from his supermodel ex Irina Shayk, as she wore an eye-catching black beanie with rainbow feathers, pink tights and rocked a face full of painted flowers.
The father daughter duo looked as close as ever, as the Philadelphia native’s safely held onto the toddler’s legs, above her little red shoes.

While Cooper and Shayk split after four years of dating last year, the pair ended on very amicable terms and are focused on co-parenting.
In addition to occasionally meeting for lunch amid their busy schedules, the friendly exes both spend plenty of quality time with their only child.
Three days ago, Cooper was spotted attentively watching Lea riding her favorite pink scooter.
Always on the cautious side, the leading man ditched the scooter and was seen holding his daughter’s hand, as they safely crossed a busy intersection.

The 34-year-old Russian catwalker and Cooper’s end came after months of speculation that he was having a tryst with his A Star is Born co-star Lady Gaga.
However, both Cooper and Gaga long denied that there was anything romantic between them off screen.
A source told Page Six that, at this point, Bradley and Irina have moved to a ‘friends’ stage post-breakup.
‘They’re co-parenting and very much there for each other and their child,’ the source said.
‘I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst – it’s just the nature of a human being. Two great people don’t have to make a good couple,’ she told British Vogue
In January, the Victoria’s Secret model gave an uncharacteristically candid interview with British Vogue about her life in the wake of her relationship ending.
‘I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst – it’s just the nature of a human being. Two great people don’t have to make a good couple,’ she said.
‘I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other. Life without B is new ground.’
On her newfound single parenthood she added: ‘It’s hard to find a balance between being a single mom and being a working woman and provider. Trust me, there are days I wake up and I’m like, “Oh my god, I don’t know what to do, I’m falling apart.”‘
