Irina Shayk is celebrating her daughter's on-screen debut.

On Tuesday, the model, 37, shared a sweet message on her Instagram Story in honor of ex Bradley Cooper's new movie Maestro.

"Congrats @maestrofilm," Shayk wrote across a movie poster for Maestro, featuring their daughter Lea, 6, dancing with Carey Mulligan, 38, while Cooper, 48, props himself up on the grass. "So proud Daddy and Lea 💕."

The former couple's daughter has a small role in the feature film, playing the younger version of Maya Hawke's character.

On Tuesday night, Cooper brought his daughter as his plus one to the premiere of Maestro, walking hand-in-hand with his daughter down the red carpet.

Cooper smiled from ear to ear as he held on to his daughter's hand while they posed for photos. Lea wore a Dolce & Gabbana leopard print chiffon dress and sparking gold flats and accessorized her fun look with a red purse. Her father attended the event dressed in a dark blue suit.

According to Shayk, balancing fatherhood with a busy schedule is something Cooper does well. "He's the best father Lea and I could dream of. It always works, but it always works because we make it work," Shayk previously told Elle of Cooper.

Becoming a father made Cooper look at life in a new way, he said in an appearance on Amazon Music and Wondery's SmartLess podcast.

"Every single thing is absolutely shaded by, or brought into glorious colors, by the fact that I get to be a father to a wonderful human being," he said.

"You have this wonderful thing or breakthrough with a script, or you have a wonderful moment on this set or in an editing room … you have like 40 of those moments every day with your kid, that are that level of joy," Cooper added. "That's not spinning it, that's just the truth."

Although Shayk and Cooper ended things in 2019, they have worked to stay friends and be committed parents.

"We're teaching our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school, we're like, 'Just remember kindness and love,'" Shayk explained in an essay written for Harper's Bazaar earlier this year.
