Bradley Cooper was seen taking on dad duty with his daughter Lea, seven, during an outing in New York City on Monday.
The Maestro actor, 49 - who recently enjoyed a PDA-filled date night with girlfriend Gigi Hadid - grabbed some fresh air as he sweetly held hands with his daughter while the pair strolled through the busy city streets.
The Oscar-nominated star shares Lea with his exIrina Shayk, whom he dated from 2015 until their split in 2019.
Cooper kept it casual for the daytime excursion wearing a black button up that was partially unfastened around the collar and contained white-embroidered details on the material.
But all eyes were on his unusual beard that was full except for an area below his bottom lip.

He additionally opted for a pair of classic, light blue denim jeans and tan-colored, Air Jordan sneakers that were secured with laces.
At one point, Bradley was also seen sporting a pair of stylish shades to protect his eyes from the bright sunshine.
The actor held hands with his seven-year-old daughter as he guided her through the streets of the Big Apple and carried her backpack over his right shoulder.
Cooper has previously opened up about fatherhood and expressed on the SmartLess podcast back in 2022, per People, 'Fatherhood is...everything changed.'
'Every single thing is absolutely shaded by, or brought into glorious colors, by the fact that I get to be a father to a wonderful human being.'
The star continued, 'You have this wonderful thing or breakthrough with a script, or you have a wonderful moment on this set or in an editing room...you have like 40 of those moments every day with your kid, that are that level of joy. '
'That's not spinning it, that's just the truth,' Bradley told hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes at the time.
He also recently got candid about having difficulties connecting with Lea shortly after she was born, which the actor revealed toDax Shepherd on his Armchair Expert podcast in February.
'The first eight months - I don't even know if I really love the kid,' he admitted. 'It's dope. It's cool. I'm watching this thing morph.'

The Oscar-nominated star shares Lea with his ex and supermodel, Irina Shayk , whom he dated from 2015 until their split in 2019
'That's my experience. Fascinated by it. Loved taking care of it. But would I die if someone came in with a gun?'
'And then all of a sudden, it's like, no question,' the A Star Is Born actor expressed, adding that his aim is to 'do the least amount of damage that [he] could do to [his] daughter.'
'I'm not sure I'd be alive if I wasn't a dad. I just needed someone to say, like, "We're gonna drop this massive anchor."'
'I'm like, "Why? We're speeding! I just got an upgrade on the boat, and I know where the wind's coming in." They're like, "No, no, no, there's a tsunami coming in, and you need an anchor and we're gonna drop it."'
'Because this is gonna dictate everything you do from now on. Your DNA is going to tell you that there's something more important than you,' Bradley stated.
The actor's latest outing with Lea comes shortly after he enjoyed a memorable date night with girlfriend Gigi Hadid, 29, earlier last week on Wednesday.
According to Page Six, the couple - who were first romantically linked in October 2023 - grabbed a tasty dinner at the hotspot, Forgione.
The pair were also joined by other close pals and were spotted being affectionate at the table, such as cozying up and sharing kisses.

For a unique touch to the night, Josh Beckerman - also known as the 'Foodie Magician' - gave an 'impromptu' show at Bradley and Gigi's table while also dining at the same restaurant.
After being linked late last year,the pair mainly keep their relationship low-key, but have still been spotted on various occasions while spending time together.
Back in March, the couple shared a kiss during a romantic dinner in the Big Apple, and later that same month, watched the show Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street on Broadway.
Last month in May, Cooper and Hadid joined Travis Kelce as they cheered on Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour concert in Paris.
Shortly after, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed about attending the concert while also discussing how he had 'a blast' with Cooper and Hadid during the show.
'I had a blast at Tay's show, the new rendition of the Eras Tour - I suggest everyone go see it,' the NFL star stated on his New Heights podcast in May.
'It has her new Tortured Poets Department, a handful of those songs, in the new show, which means there's a new segment, new lights, new dancing, new everything to the f***ing show.It's absolutely unbelievable, I enjoyed every bit of it.'
He later explained, 'I got to see Gigi and Bradley Cooper. BC, big Coop. We were all in the suite having a blast.'
