Recently, news of Bradley Cooper’s celebrity break-up with Irina Shayk broke. According to EOnline.com, rumors had been flying that Cooper’s A Star Is Born costar Lady Gaga contributed to the couple’s tension and demise. Gaga, who was performing in Vegas when news of the split arose, gave a speech about trying to change others before singing her and Cooper’s duet, Shallow. It may be a stretch, but fans are certain of Gaga’s hidden message about Cooper.

Rumor mills never stop turning. They can be hurtful and amplify situations for the worse. Here are some ways to keep ahead of the gossip about your breakup:

2. Stay Facebook friends: If you and your ex are on good terms stay friends on social media. Apps like Facebook and Twitter have the added perk of a mute option. That way the breakup can be amicable online, but you won’t need to see their posts everyday.
