Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk 'on and off' for the past year, source says - CNN

The relationship has been strained, according to the source, over Cooper's "intense" work-ethic during production and press for "A Star Is Born."

"He's into bettering himself, and his career and doesn't want distractions," the source said. "When he does a role, he stays in character, at least partly, all during filming."

Cooper, 44 and Shayk, 33, have reportedly split, according to a story first published by People, after being in a relationship for four years.

But early in his time together with Shayk, Cooper spoke to friends about wanting to marry her.

"He said she was 'the one'" in 2015," the source said, who added that the couple has been "on and off for about a year now," trying to work on things for the sake of their 2-year-old daughter.

Cooper and Shayk recently attended Jerry Seinfeld's 65th birthday party at New York's Cafe Carlyle in late April.

In February, Shayk had told Glamour UK she's not going to share her personal life with the public.

"I have a lot of friends who share a lot of their personal life on Instagram or social media, very publicly," she said. "I admire it and I think it's great -- but I think it's all about personal choice. Because my work requires me to be out there, I just decided my personal life will be quiet. That's why it's called personal, because it's something for you and your family, and I feel happy with it."

CNN has reached out to reps for both Cooper and Shayk for comment.
