Suki Waterhouse has alluded to her past relationship with Bradley Cooper as being “dark and difficult”.
The actress and singer, now 32, opened up to Vogue UK about the public relationships she had in her 20s – the most notable being her 2013 relationship with Bradley Cooper, when she was 21 and he was 38.
“I really will say that I’m pretty strong at this point, but when something very public happens to you and the story behind it is dark and difficult, and you’re actually not doing well, and you can’t explain yourself to the world, that’s very isolating and disorientating,” she said.

“It probably has taken a decade to work myself out and actually be able to have this expansion in my life.”
Waterhouse and Cooper called it quits in 2015 after a two-year relationship.
The former London It girl was also in public relationships with British musician Miles Kane in 2011, and actor-director Diego Luna in 2015.

“Your 20s are pretty sadistic. The love I experienced (then) was only ever a fetishisation, and I think when you only get loved in that way, you only get punished,” she added of her past.
“When you get into your 30s you’re almost instantly afforded a little bit more respect. It’s kind of delightful and shocking at the same time.”
