Today we present Irina Shayk, top model with Russian roots and also the girlfriend of footballer Christiano Ronaldo. The man is known as one of the best footballers of the World Cup and given Irina's looks, he knows how to keep a nice, eh, ball in the air off the field as well. They have been living together for four years and the corridors even claim that they are engaged, so we are eagerly waiting for an invitation to the wedding.
Irina was born in 1986 as Irina Shaykhlislamova. Quite a mouthful, so shortening her name for a modeling career must have been a smart move. She owes her exotic appearance to her Tatar father (a Mongolian ethnic group) and a Russian mother. And a bit of good luck, of course.
After the equally famous and infamous Kimye cover of American Vogue, Chris and Irina soon graced the cover of the Spanish edition. With a steaming hot shoot full of expensive couture pieces in the magazine. Rumors that Ronaldo secretly has a thing for men have been around for years, but we can imagine that when you get to wake up next to Irina every morning, you can't think much more than “just let it be.” And we totally get that.
