  • Irina Shayk is a Russian model.
  • She has a daughter with her ex Bradley Cooper.
  • She hung out with Tom Brady on July 21, 2023.

Irina Shayk, 37, has a history of dating famous men — Bradley Cooper, Kanye West, Cristiano Ronaldo — and now she appears to be testing the waters with Tom Brady. The Russian model was seen hanging out with the single NFL star on July 21, according to TMZ who obtained pictures of the rendezvous. Tom reportedly picked Irina up from Hotel Bel-Air and he drove her to his home in Los Angeles, where she allegedly stayed the night, and then they hung out again the next day. Tom split from his wife Gisele Bundchen in 2022.

Irina’s relationship with Tom seemingly shuts down the possibility of her reconciliation with Bradley, with whom she shares a daughter. Bradley and Irina split in 2019 after four years together but they’ve reunited several times this year. Here is everything you need to know about Irina.

How Long Were Bradley Cooper & Irina Shayk Together?

Irina and Bradley were first linked to one another in April 2015. They enjoyed plenty of romantic outings together including when they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the L’Oreal Red Obsession party in March 2016.

After four years together, Irina and Bradley split in June 2019. They continued to co-parent their child after their split and then they started to spark reconciliation rumors in November 2022, when they reportedly spent Thanksgiving together. Irina and Bradley continued to be seen in public together, mostly in New York City with their daughter. In May 2023, they reunited at the Met Gala in NYC. That was after HollywoodLife learned from an EXCLUSIVE source that Irina and Bradley’s friends are rooting for them to get back together.

“It’s obvious there’s a lot of love between them, and the beautiful thing is that through their whole breakup, they were able to maintain this amazing friendship,” an insider told HL. “And they’re both so devoted to Leah. No matter how busy they get with work, she comes first, [so] having that common bond is a big plus.”

Irina has been very adamant about not discussing her private life and rarely discloses personal details to the public. “My past relationship, it’s something that belongs to me, and it’s private,” she told Elle in March 2021. “It’s just a piece of my inner self that I don’t want to give away.”

Who Has Irina Shayk Dated?

Irina’s first public relationship was with Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon, 44, from 2007 to 2009. She went on to date Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, from 2010 to 2015. There were rumors that Cristiano cheated on Irina which is why they broke up.

Following her four-year relationship with Bradley, Irina was linked to Kanye West, 46. They first sparked romance rumors when they went on a trip to Provence, France together in early June 2021. The pair celebrated the rapper’s birthday and were photographed happily walking alongside each other during the getaway, which happened after Kanye’s split from his wife Kim Kardashian. “Irina was thrilled when Kanye reached out to her asking her to hang out,” a source close to the model said at the time. “She’s excited and she’s been ready to move on and find someone.”

However, Kanye and Irina’s brief fling came to an end later that summer. The pair reportedly decided to call it quits because of time restraints and a lack of compatibility. “Kanye and Irina are over, but they never really started, there’s nothing going on there,” one source told Us Weekly in August 2021. “They aren’t great romantic partners.”

Irina ended up losing 11 million followers on her Instagram because of that, according to The Sun.
