Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk AKA the most genetically gifted couple on earth, have finally confirmed their relationship. Kind of.
In one very public, millenial-friendly move, Irina, 30, posted an Instagram snap FINALLY confirming their togetherness and has so far amassed over 156 thousand likes.
Apart from this rare picture of Bradley and Irina together at Paris Fashion Week, the couple are normally very private, leaving us all guessing as to whether they are actually a 'thing' or not. From the looks of this rather explicit shot, it looks as though they most definitely are cries into pea risotto for one.
Here is the Bradley and Irina (Braina?) shot in all its glory.
Yes, faces are missing, a peculiar move seeing as this was meant to be a relationship announcement photo (in our eyes, anyway). Was it to add an air of mystery? Maybe they were accidentally chopped out in a violent VSCO Cam crop? Or very possibly, this is in fact the new way to become ‘Insta-official’ and has set the bench mark for new couples everywhere.
Remember the good old days when new couples would be announced by simply attending an event together, or when togetherness would be confirmed by a statement from the press office? Lol, those days are gone.
Let’s take a moment to remember some of the best celebrity insta-official posts - ideal if you need some inspiration to announce your own new romance à la‘Braina’.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik: The 'well thought out' instagram
This couple went to great lengths to provide the perfect insta-official post – note: black and white filter, polaroid, matching hats and so forth. We appreciate the effort, Zigi.
Justin Bieber and Hayley Baldwin: The posessive instagram
Justin Bieber made it clear to the world that model Hayley Baldwin and him were indeed a thing by posting a picture of this weirdly-angled hug.
