Cooper admitted in a previous interview that he saw Lady Gaga's performance in a charity gala and instantly knew he wanted to work with her in the film. He had never spoken about the rumors about him and Lady Gaga until his recent Wednesday interview.

Bradley Cooper had remained mum about the romantic rumors linking him to the Poker Face singer in the previous years. However, he finally put to rest the speculations in his recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, Nov. 17.
When discussing his and Lady Gaga's steamy Oscar performance of Shallow, the Hangover star said they were just acting.
"Just from a personal standpoint, it reduces the anxiety level," Cooper explained. "They kind of fall in love in that scene in the film. It's that explosive moment that happens to them on a stage in front of thousands of people…It would have been so weird if we were both on stools facing the audience."

Lady Gaga said the same in her previous interview. The singer doubled down saying it was the press making up stories about them and stressed that the love the people see between them was pure acting because that was what they wanted the people to see.
"Quite frankly, I think the press is very silly. I mean, we made a love story. For me, as a performer and as an actress, of course, we wanted people to believe that we were in love," the House of Gucci star told Elle in 2019.
"And we wanted people to feel that love at the Oscars. We wanted it to go right through the lens of that camera and to every television that it was being watched on."
