Their passionate duet also caused quite a stir on social media as people wondered about the co-stars’ relationship. Copper’s ex-wife added her opinion via social media.

As Lady Gaga, 32, and Bradley Cooper, 44, sang “Shallow” onstage at The Academy Awards, it was clear that the pair had chemistry. Towards the end of their performance, the pair sang the last verse of the song cheek-to-cheek.

After their performance, the two shared a long hug and Cooper lifted her off the ground a bit. His longtime girlfriend, Irina Shayk, 33, was part of the audience and even cheered for them when they were done.

Reacting to the performance, comedian and actor David Spade posted a photo of their performance on social media and asked what many people were wondering. He wrote to his Instagram followers, "Is there any chance these 2 aren't [expletive]?"

Copper’s ex-wife, Jennifer Esposito, 45, added her thoughts in the comments writing, “Ha.” She and Copper had been married for four months.

They got divorced in 2007. In 2014, the “NCIS” actress released her book, “Jennifer's Way,” where she critiqued her ex-husband even though the book was mainly about her battle with a disease.

In the book, she opened up about struggling with Celiac Disease. However, speaking about her marriage to Cooper she wrote that she had an "entire marching band squad of red flags" that she should’ve noticed, but instead "chose to ignore them."

Esposito added, "He was funny, smart, cocky, arrogant, and a master manipulator. I didn't necessarily find him that attractive, but I figured that I could enjoy his sense of humor and nonsense for a while."

The actress accused Cooper of having a "mean, cold side" and that "the relationship was about him and what he needed, and nothing else." Lady Gaga recently ended her engagement to her fiancé, Christian Carino.

As the rumors circulate about the possible relationship between Lady Gaga and Cooper, he was recently photographed on an outing with his girlfriend. On Tuesday, the couple was pictured looking a bit down while on a drive.
