Personal life
Shayk’s father was a coal miner and died of pneumonia complications when she was 14 so growing up her family didn’t have any money and her mother had to work two jobs. It’s from her father that she got her unusual looks, she says, which often cause people to think she’s South American. “My father was dark skinned, because he was Tartar. Sometimes Tartars can look Brazilian,” she says. “I get my light eyes from my mother.” Irina has a pet dog named Cesare, a Lab, whom she claims, was fathered by one of the dogs who played the title role in “Marley and Me.”
Since 2010, she has been dating footballer Cristiano Ronaldo Shayk and Ronaldo allegedly met through their Armani Exchange campaigns.
