The actor and the model have been dating since March last year

Ladies, have your handkerchiefs at the ready because there’s a piece of sad news coming your way: actor Bradley Cooper is one foot out the door to being off the market. He and model Suki Waterhouse have been dating since March last year and she has just confirmed they are engaged.

This comes from the British tabloid Heat World, so it’s probably best if you take it with a grain of salt. Admittedly, Suki herself has confirmed the happy news in an interview that’s supposed to be out today.

There is also the chance that she might have been joking just to mess with the journalist or to see how people would react to this piece of obviously fake news.

“Upon noticing that the model was sporting a ‘huge diamond ring’, Suki responded by saying ‘Yep, I’m engaged,’ in a breezy fashion while waving a sparkler around (they were at some sort of posh party. You know, the sort that has sparklers),” the tab reports.

That Bradley has strong feelings for Suki is no longer a secret, not after he went on the record a while ago saying she was “the one” and adding, “She’s wonderful, the one for me. It feels great.”

However, for the past few weeks, there have been increasing rumors that their busy schedules and the amount of time they spend apart have taken their toll on the romance and that they have decided to take some time off.

Assuming Suki is engaged to Bradley (and it wasn’t just a joke on her part), she might want to check out what his ex had to say about their short-lived marriage. Jennifer Esposito, who was married to Bradley for just 4 months, detailed the relationship in a new book.

It’s not that the marriage was short-lived that bothered her the most but the way Cooper changed from one day to another. She describes him (though she never mentions him by name) as cold, calculated, manipulative and self-centered to the point where she’d even gotten to put her health at risk just so he could feel the most important one in the relationship.

Then, the marriage ended at a moment’s notice, when she least expected it because he didn’t even bother to sit her down and explain to her why he wanted out: he just left and never came back, breaking the news to her over the phone.

Esposito describes it like this: “Abruptly, rudely, and with the exact callousness that I’d come to expect from him.”
