Bradley Cooper was reported to have run to Jennifer Garner’s side after breaking up with Irina Shayk. Ben Affleck’s ex-wife has become his comforter and shoulder to cry on following the heartbreak, and this allegedly led to romance.

The National Enquirer published an article titled “Bradley & Jen Share Secret Alone Time!” and claimed that the former costars have gotten closer recently after the actor and his longtime girlfriend called it quits. It mentioned that the closeness of the two is slowly turning from friendship to something more and suggested that their relationship has blossomed to romance.

Prior to this report, Australia’s Woman’s Day also wrote that Cooper and Garner have been sneaking out and have often been going incognito to date. The actress was allegedly spotted visiting the actor’s home in Los Angeles on July 12, and people are suspecting that this is not the first time that the two have met up in secret.

“No one would be surprised if they’re finally taking their friendship to the next level,” the source said. “The timing couldn’t be more perfect for them to make a real go of things once and for all.”

Cooper and Garner met on the set of “Alias” in 2001, and they have been friends since then. It was said that the friends have leaned on to each other after their respective divorces from their then partners — the actor from wife Jennifer Esposito and the actress from Ben Affleck. And recently, the 44-year-old actor was reported to have been running to Garner for support after his breakup with his model girlfriend.

The heartache they shared supposedly brought them together, and they fell in love. Since they confide to and seek advice from each other, they developed special feelings, and everyone who knows what’s going on between the two thinks they are a perfect couple.

“In times of trouble they always seek the other out, but perhaps they’ve realized that what they’re looking for could be standing right in front of them,” the insider told the magazine. “They’re actually perfect for one another.”

But Gossip Cop checked the facts of the report and determined that there is no truth to the claim that Cooper has been leaning on Garner for emotional support and that they have become lovers as a result of their closeness. The publication explained that the pair has only been romantically linked after the tabloids called the actress’ recent visit to the actor’s home a “secret date” when it’s not. Cooper’s representative has also spoken up and assured that the narratives are totally false.
