Jennifer Garner and Bradley Cooper, former co-stars on “Alias,” were spotted enjoying an early dinner with their children at the upscale Japanese restaurant Nobu in Malibu, California, on Sunday. Cooper attended with his 8-year-old daughter, Lea, whom he shares with ex Irina Shayk. Garner was accompanied by two of her three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck: daughter Violet, 19, and son Samuel, 13. Their middle child, Seraphina, 16, was not present.
Stars and their kids dine together
Garner and Cooper, who first met on the set of “Alias,” enjoyed a casual family outing.
The group maintained a casual vibe for the evening at the popular, celebrity-frequented spot. Cooper, 50, sported a hoodie advertising his New York City cheesesteak restaurant, Danny & Coop’s, paired with black shorts, and appeared to have bedhead. Garner, 53, was color-coordinated in a chic white cardigan, polo shirt, and white jeans.
Violet, a Yale student, opted for a playful ensemble: a light blue sweater adorned with oranges and a polka-dot skirt. Samuel, 13, wore a gray sweatshirt with “Palisades” printed on it. Earlier in the day, Violet was seen out for coffee with her mother, dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt.
Cooper and Garner have maintained a strong friendship since “Alias” concluded in 2006, and they have been photographed together on numerous occasions since. In 2019, at the Cinematheque Awards, Garner spoke warmly of Cooper, saying, “My mental image of Bradley Cooper is of an apple-drooling frosted haired boy wonder. It wasn’t until I heard him speaking French to a background artist on set one day that I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Is Bradley handsome?'” She added, “I know the heart and stomach of Bradley Cooper. Bradley, what’s happening to you now is a pure joy to those who know you, especially to those of us who’ve known you from the start. It turns out you weren’t just handsome all along. You were also a wonder, and you are welcome at my table anytime.”
Cooper is currently dating Gigi Hadid, 30. The couple was recently seen on a double date with Brad Pitt and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, at an NYC steakhouse last month.
