And though they split up not agelong aft their daughter Lea's 2nd birthday, they person remained the model of togetherness erstwhile it comes to parenting.
"We ever find a way," Shayk told Elle past November. Cooper is "the champion begetter Lea and I could imagination of. It ever works, but it ever works due to the fact that we marque it work."

Cooper was "full-on, hands-on dad—no nanny," she told Highsnobiety successful 2021. "Lea went connected vacation with him for astir 2 weeks—I didn't telephone them once."
And that's wherefore she doesn't notation to herself and Cooper arsenic co-parents.
