A catalog listing for Closer says a story in issue 1229 concerns Lorraine Moorhouse and a reported £33,000 loss after she believed Bradley Cooper was in love with her. A second listing gives a headline variant about a marriage promise and serving her children beans on toast for Christmas dinner. These are magazine headline claims, not independent confirmation of what happened—and they do not establish that the actor contacted her.

What the Closer listings say

OverDrive catalog records for Closer issue 1229, released September 22, 2026, identify a story about Lorraine Moorhouse. One listing uses the headline “I thought Bradley Cooper was in love with me – I lost £33k”; another gives a version saying she thought “Bradley Cooper” wanted to marry her and sent him £33,000.

The £33,000 figure is the amount claimed in the magazine headlines. The catalog records do not provide transaction records or otherwise independently substantiate the loss. Nor do they include the full story or Moorhouse’s underlying interview.

Did Bradley Cooper really contact her?

The listings do not establish that the actor communicated with Moorhouse. The second headline places his name in quotation marks, but neither catalog record identifies who contacted her or verifies that person’s identity. The headline should therefore be read as describing what Moorhouse reportedly believed, not as evidence of Bradley Cooper’s involvement.

How did she lose £33,000?

The catalog summaries do not explain how contact began, how long it lasted, what payments were made, or what evidence supports the reported total. They also do not document whether an impersonator was identified. Without the full account or corroborating records, the mechanics of the alleged loss remain unknown.

What happened at Christmas?

The alternate headline says Moorhouse was “forced to serve kids beans on toast for Christmas dinner.” The catalog entry offers no context for that phrase, so it does not establish why that meal was served, whether financial hardship was the reason, or what “forced” means in the story.

What is known about any official case?

Neither listing states whether Moorhouse reported the matter to police, whether a court case or other proceeding followed, or whether any official body confirmed the allegation. The available catalog information cannot establish an official case status or outcome.
