Suki Waterhouse Says Her Bradley Cooper Breakup Was "a Disaster at the End"

Suki Waterhouse rarely talks about her past relationships, but she just gave a remarkably candid look inside her head. In a Sunday Times interview, she reflected on her 2013-to-2015 romance with Bradley Cooper — the one that drew constant attention for their 17-year age gap — and described the way a two-year relationship ended for her:“If it was two years, it would have been a disaster at the end.”No scandal, no subtweets, just a very blunt trip down memory lane.

She also admitted she dated“blindly”in her younger years, and that learning to separate her private and public lives was a process. The confession everyone’s sharing, though, is about her current partner: Waterhouse said she’s surprised by how happy she is with Robert Pattinson, because before him she’d never dated anyone longer than two years. The two have been together since 2018 and share a 2-year-old daughter, and while wedding plans are currently on hold, she said when it happens, it’ll be“all or nothing”with a massive party.

The interview also got real about the harder moments — Waterhouse described feeling depressed after a past heartbreak, stepping back from modeling, and pouring that emotion into songwriting. Her closing thought is the kind of thing we all need to hear sometimes:“You can have a private life and a public life at the same time. I know that now.”
