Bradley Cooper’s Ex Just Clarified Her Comment About Him & Lady Gaga
Bradley Cooper's ex wife, actress Jennifer Esposito, commented "Ha" on comedian David Spade's Instagram post, where he jokingly questioned whether Cooper and co-star Lady Gaga are hooking up after their intimate Oscars performance.
Esposito explained that the comment was in response to Spade's "very outward statement about something about an ex," and not directly about Cooper and Gaga's relationship.
Cooper and Esposito were married for four months, from December 2006 to May 2007.
Update, 2/27:
Actress Jennifer Esposito, who was previously married to Bradley Cooper, is speaking out on Instagram after she commented on an Instagram post where David Spade questioned whether Cooper and co-star Lady Gaga were romantically involved. Spade had captioned a photo of Cooper and Gaga performing at the Oscars, “Is there any chance these 2 aren't fucking?" to which Esposito commented, “Ha,” sending the Internet chattering.
The following day, the NCIS spoke out via Instagram video to clarify her response and shut down people who were “attacking” her over the comment.
Her “ha” was in response to “David Spade’s very outward statement about something about an ex, and I literally laughed at him because he was so bold in what he was saying,” she explains in the video, per People. “I thought it was funny and I’m allowed to think something is funny.”
Esposito added that she didn’t even watch the Academy Awards. “I didn’t watch the Oscars. I don’t know what went on, I don’t care what went on,” she later added. “I commented on something that I thought was funny […] And to find that people are making judgment calls about me or them or the people that the comment was about is really psychotic.”
The actress also implied that her message wasn’t directed to Gaga, Cooper, or his current girlfriend, Irina Shayk. “I feel bad for those people who are involved on the other side of the ‘Ha’ because it wasn’t at them,” she said.

Original story, 2/26:
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's intimate performance of "Shallow" at the Oscars had everyone talking-including the actor and director's ex-wife, Jennifer Esposito. The NCIS star let her thoughts be known with a short but witty Instagram comment.
Yesterday, comedian David Spade posted a photo of the A Star Is Born leads singing together during the awards ceremony. "Is there any chance these 2 aren't fucking?" he captioned the post. Followers responded in the comments, and Esposito chimed in, "Ha."
Cooper and Esposito were married in December 2006, but split four months later in May 2007, People reports. The Hangover alum is currently with model Irina Shayk, whom he brought to the Oscars on Sunday. The two have been dating since 2015 and welcomed a daughter together in 2017.
Lady Gaga, on the other hand, is newly single after calling off her engagement with talent agent Christian Carino, whom she started dating in early 2017.

Cooper previously commented on his short-lived marriage to Esposito in 2011. "It was just something that happened," he told Howard Stern, according to CBS News. "The good thing is, we both realized it...Sometimes you just realize it." The actor added, "It just wasn't right," but he denied rumors that the former relationship turned him off from marrying again.
