Bradley Cooper took his seven-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, to the Super Bowl on Sunday to watch the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles and it's safe to say he was one proud dad as he and Lea donned matching Eagles jackets.
The award-winning actor and director looked thrilled not only to be a part of the action unfolding on the pitch but also that his daughter could witness it for herself.
Bradley and Lea's time at the game was a fun-filled excuse for a father-daughter day out, but it was also extra special because Bradley's team took home the trophy.

He also told Howard Stern in a previous interview that, for him, the Eagles winning the Super Bowl would beat winning an Academy Award.
After Howard posed the ultimate choice, he said at the time: "Eagles Super Bowl victory [wins]. No, I'm not lying."
Bradley added: "It's been amazing to take my daughter [to games], she's now able to tell when we're on defense and offense."
While at the game on Sunday, Bradley spoke to FOX News Sports about how proud he was: "It's a miracle. I'm so blessed to be here and I love this team so much."

Another echoed this, writing on X: "Today was the day Bradley Cooper finally won an Oscar."
Inside Bradley's life as a dad to Lea De Seine
Bradley shares his daughter with his ex-partner, Irina Shayk. The former couple welcomed Lea de Seine back in 2017 but called time on their relationship two years later.
However, Irina and Bradley have been applauded for putting their differences aside and showing how to co-parent like professionals for the sake of their seven-year-old.

While attending the Los Angeles premiere for his 2024 award season darling, Maestro, the doting dad-of-one brought along Lea to make her first official red carpet appearance.
Bradley has also credited Lea for keeping him afloat when it comes to his previous struggles that he's been open about discussing.

"I don't know what would have happened. I am not sure," Bradley said.
"I'm a father [seeking to do] the least amount of damage I can do to my daughter. To have a child not grow up in that way… I want her to have, as much as she can, a foundation that's like 25 feet thick, cement, that she can walk on this earth with. That's the goal."
