Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper stepped out with his new girlfriend recently in Paris but at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday he admitted that he enjoyed kissing someone else.

The 38-year-old went on stage to accept his award for Best Kiss, an honor he shared with his Silver Linings Playbook co-star Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence was not present at the award show and Cooper gave his acceptance speech solo. When he revealed to the audience that Lawrence could not make it to the ceremony, the audience sighed and Cooper replied, "I know, but she was great to kiss."

Rumors circulated that the co-stars dated ever since the release of their 2012 film, in which they played friends-turned-lovers. However, Cooper cleared up rumors back in January by saying, "No, no, no, no, no. Not even close" about he and Lawrence dating.

"First of all, I could be her father. No, I'm kidding. But no, not even close," he told Entertainment Weekly at the 2013 Golden Globes. "We've done two movies together. If it didn't happen by now, it's not going to happen.

Cooper broke up with Avatar actress Zoe Saldana over the Christmas holiday last year. Cooper began dating the 34-year-old Star Trek actress after they filmed The Words together. Lawrence then told MTV in March that all she has been doing is setting up Cooper with girls, joking that she will get him "a booklet with pictures of my friends."

Recently Cooper has been romantically linked to 20-year-old Suki Waterhouse. Cooper was photographed wearing black riding gloves, a black helmet, and a leather motorcycle jacket with a white racing stripe down the side of the sleeve. He drove through the city as Waterhouse -- in a red jacket, navy scarf and black overcoat -- sat behind him with her arms holding on to his shoulders and waist.

A source told Us Weekly, "It's new but they're hanging out," a source told Us Weekly. "He's really into her."
