Bradley Cooper Says It Took Him 8 Months to “Really Love” His Daughter.

Bradley Cooper is opening up about parenthood and the bond he has with his 6-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper.

On Monday, the Maestro star spoke with actor Dax Shepard on his podcast Armchair Expert about his journey as a father, including how long it took for him to feel really connected to his daughter.

“The first eight months—I don’t even know if I really love the kid,” Cooper told Shepard at the time. “It’s dope. It’s cool. I’m watching this thing morph.”

“That’s my experience,” Cooper continued, referring to his time as a first-time dad and how he viewed his new baby girl, who he welcomed with ex Irina Shayk in March, 2017.
