Lady Gaga Fans Freak After Her Lipstick Shade Appears On Bradley Cooper’s Chin Amid Romance Denial

The rumors live on! A photo of Bradley Cooper from Sept. 2018 has resurfaced, showing what looks like ‘lipstick on his face,’ a fan claimed. More go wild after seeing Lady Gaga wore a similar shade that same night.

Even after Lady Gaga, 32, said she and Bradley Cooper, 44, deliberately tried to “fool” people with their (carefully planned) on-stage chemistry at the 2019 Oscars, some fans just can’t let go of the romance rumors. They proceeded to jump to conclusions after seeing a picture of Bradley, who appears to have a red mark on his chin, standing alongside Gaga, who’s sporting a bold red lip, from the A Star Is Born premiere that happened in Los Angeles on Sept. 24, 2018. You can see the photo below. “Oops. 💋,” fan account @ladyfckinggaga captioned the find, and people proceeded to freak out in the comments section. “🕵🏻‍♀️🙈💋 I KNEW IT!!!” one user wrote, while another fan commented, “LIPSTICK ON HIS FACE.” A third fan simply commented, “💕🎶it was just a matter.” But others had doubts.

“Is it a pimple? 😂🤣😊,” one fan reasonably asked, as it’s not exactly clear what the red mark was. A bad skin day would be a more respectful assumption, as Bradley has been dating Irina Shayk, 33, since 2015, and shares a one-year-old daughter with the model! Meanwhile, Gaga was dating Christian Carino at the time (and went on to confirm their engagement in Oct. 2018, before they called off the relationship one week before the Oscars).

But this new crop of rumors just proves how good at acting the A Star Is Born co-stars are, which was their goal all along! “Yes people saw love and guess what, that’s what we wanted you to see. This is a love song…The movie, A Star Is Born, is a love story,” Gaga said of her steamy Oscars duet with Bradley during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “I knew that [Bradley] had the vision for how it should go. And so I was like, ‘What do you think Bradley?’ And he laid it all out. And everything that you saw, the way that it was shot, the way that they push the piano out, you saw them, you know, put the piano together and walk up on stage, no intro — that was all [Bradley].” The “romantic” performance that everyone freaked out over on Feb. 24 was just a part of Bradley’s mastermind plan, as Gaga added, “We’re artists, I guess we did a good job, and fooled ya!”

Just like Bradley and Gaga, we know this latest speculation won’t bother Irina! “Irina is unaffected, she doesn’t pay attention to rumors and furthermore she isn’t at all threatened by Bradly and Lady Gaga’s friendship or performance” because “she’s got every bit of Bradley’s heart and she knows it,” a source had EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife before.
