At the end of April Bradley Cooper’s ex-wife Jennifer Esposito published a book about her struggle with celiac disease, but she also possibly included some information about her four-month marriage to the Silver Linings Playbook star.
Although he isn’t named, a source told The New York Daily News blog Confidenti@l that the unnamed suitor in the book is the American Hustle actor. Jennifer describes him as a “funny, smart, cocky, arrogant and a master manipulator” that she didn’t “necessarily find him that attractive.” She claimed that he had “an entire marching band squad of red flags,” but she ignored them because she didn’t expect the relationship to last very long. She said he displayed a “mean, cold side” and “his personality could flip on a dime.”
Right before talking about landing a role on sitcom Samantha Who in 2007, she talks about her relationship disintegrating, and this lines up to their May 2007 divorce. Esposito says it all came apart for her after she attended a seminar at the Agape International Spiritual Center in L.A. “Within days, my relationship hit an all-time low, and within a week it was over,” she wrote. “Abruptly, rudely, and with the exact callousness that I’d come to expect from him.”
In 2011 Bradley spoke out, rather vaguely, about his short-lived marriage to Howard Stern. “It was just something that happened,” he said. “The good thing is, we both realized it…Sometimes you just realize it.” When Stern questioned him further, Bradley remained evasive. “It just wasn’t right. It’s interesting…things happen!”
