Some felt that the PDA was a PR stunt.
I have never seen photos of Lady Gaga making out in public with anyone, but suddenly she is with Dan Norton? This strikes me as PR move. There's still hope for her and Bradley Cooper.

Speculation that Gaga and Cooper were secretly in a relationship started soon after their film "A Star Is Born" premiered last October.
And following their emotional, intimate performance at the 2019 Oscars, most fans of the film felt that Gaga and Cooper had to be in love. Gaga and Cooper's splits from their respective exes in the months following their sensual performance only added fuel to the fire.
Gaga has said in past interviews that she and Coooper had an "instant connection" and "instant understanding of one another."
Cooper, for his part, has said he "fell in love with [Gaga's] face and eyes" while casting her for "A Star Is Born," which he also directed.
Representatives for Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
