“You have this wonderful thing or breakthrough with a script, or you have a wonderful moment on this set or in an editing room … you have like 40 of those moments every day with your kid, that are that level of joy,” Cooper added. “That’s not spinning it, that’s just the truth.”
Although Shayk and Cooperended things in 2019, they haveworked to stay friends and be committed parents.
“We’re teaching our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school, we’re like, ‘Just remember kindness and love,'” Shayk explained in an essay written forHarper’s Bazaarearlier this year.
