Bradley Cooper bundles up in a puffer jacket and beanie as he holds hands with daughter Lea, five, during outing in New York City

Bradley Cooper was a doting dad as he held hands with his adorable daughter Lea, five, on an outing in NYC on Thursday.

The actor, 48 — who shares Lea with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, 37 — was bundled up for the outfit, sporting a navy puffer jacket and grey jeans. 

He completed his outfit with a grey beanie, sneakers and a pair of black aviator sunglasses.  

The American Sniper star was seen chatting with his daughter as he carried her backpack in his hand. 

The sighting comes after a swirl of rumors last year that he had rekindled his romance with Irina.

Meanwhile Lea braved the cold weather in a fuzzy white winter coat and a matching hat.

The little one also sported a white frilly dress, white leggings and a pair of tiger striped UGG boots.

She appeared to enjoy the walk with her dad, and was seen skipping while holding his hand.

Bradley and Irina further fueled the reconciliation rumor mill at the end of November when they were spotted spending Thanksgiving together with Lea.

The two retained a famously close co-parenting equation since their split in 2019 after a relationship that reportedly lasted four years.

Reunion rumors went into overdrive late last year when they were spotted getting affectionate during a stroll in New York.

Irina and Bradley previously set the rumor mill churning over the summer when they reportedly took Lea on vacation together.

At that time there was even speculation that Bradley and Irina were mulling the prospect of having another baby.

Pouring fuel on the fire, a Page Six insider alleged: 'It was a real family getaway and they are considering getting back together.'

The source asserted that Irina 'would like her daughter to have a sibling,' and that Bradley was amenable to the idea.

Although Bradley at the time was rumored to be dating Hillary Clinton's confidante Huma Abedin, Page Six reported they were only ever casually involved.

Meanwhile Irina's dating history includes Cristiano Ronaldo and last year she was briefly linked to Kanye West in the wake of his split from Kim Kardashian.

She and Bradley were first linked in 2015 before going public as a couple in 2016, welcoming their little girl in 2017 and then going their separate ways two years later.

Shortly after their breakup TMZ reported they had decided to split custody and to both remain based in New York in order to make joint parenting easier.

In fact she and Bradley are such close co-parents that they have made sure to live just blocks apart in Greenwich Village in order to raise their daughter.

'He's a full-on, hands-on dad - no nanny,' Irina told Highsnobiety last year. 'Lea went on holiday with him for almost two weeks - I didn't call them once.'
