Hello, to whom it may concern, Bradley Cooper did in fact bring a date with him to the 2022 Academy Awards. And before you start having flashbacks to his time in the shallow with Lady Gaga, no, they didn’t show up together.
Bradley actually went ahead and took his mom, Gloria Campano, as his date to this year’s Oscars, and the vibe was legitimately adorable:
Wow, cannot wait for my mom to passive-aggressively call me later about how I never take her anywhere cool!!!!
By the way, Bradley’s been bringing his mom to the Oscars for years, including in 2019 before he performed with Lady Gaga:
AND he took her to the Vanity Fair Oscar party back in 2013:
Bradley opened up about taking care of his mom during a chat with Anthony Ramos for Interview during the early days of the pandemic, saying he spent quarantine with her:
“I’m with my daughter and my mother and my two dogs, and we have not left the house. My mother is going to be 80 and she has a colostomy bag, so I can’t let anybody in the house. And I can’t leave the house because if she gets it, it’s over.” He then added, “We live in a little townhouse; thankfully, there’s a backyard,” he said. “I’m running a one-man preschool. We get up, we do swim class in the bathtub.”
But Bradley’s mom has actually been living with him since around 2011, when Bradley told Esquire, “I love having her. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Um, was not prepared to feel these feels.
