Russian supermodel, charming Irina Shayk, who began her thorny path to fame with regional beauty contests, now shines at fashion shows of the most famous brands in the world. The girl’s dizzying success is amazing, and her figure and face cause a lot of controversy and rumors.
For 10 years, a simple girl from the Chelyabinsk region conquered Russia, Europe, the USA, appeared on the covers of popular magazines, and performed at the Victoria's Secret show in 2016. Many people wonder: how did she manage to reach such heights? And what Irina Shayk looked like before and after plastic surgery.
Irina Shayk: who is she?
Shaykhlislamova Irina Valerievna is the real name of the green-eyed beauty. The girl devotes her life not only to participating in photo shoots and shows, but also plays in films and works as a TV presenter.
It was she who hosted the 4th season of “Top Model in Russian,” but was then fired by the U TV channel. The model also does charity work, regularly helps her hometown, and does not forget her family and country.
Irina Shayk's sister became a mother for the third time
The day before, the elder sister of 34-year-old top model Irina Shayk Tatyana Petenkova gave birth to a daughter. Tatyana shared a photo with her Instagram followers with her baby and husband straight from the maternity hospital. “Today our family has grown!” — the happy mother signed the photo. She clarified that the girl was born weighing almost five kilograms and 60 cm tall. Now Shayk has three nephews - 14-year-old Irina, 6-year-old Maxim and newborn Emily.

Tatyana and Irina are very close and constantly communicate, despite thousands of kilometers between them. Irina now lives in New York, and Tatyana lives in Krasnodar, working as a dog breeder. However, Petenkova visited her sister overseas more than once, including with her children. Externally, the spectacular sisters are very similar. As you know, Tatyana also planned to become a model, but was not the right height. Perhaps her daughter Irina will be able to follow in the footsteps of her famous aunt and namesake by pursuing a modeling career.
Irina Shayk communicates with her sister's family
Irina Shayk herself, unlike her sister with many children, has only one child - 3-year-old Leah de Cien, whom the top model gave birth to from Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper. Despite breaking up last year, the couple is raising their daughter together, going for walks with her and having dinner with the whole family in restaurants. Recently in London, Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper were invited to the BAFTA 2020 awards ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall. The separated lovers posed together for photographers and exchanged a few remarks. Although, judging by the photo, they did not broadcast a warm relationship.
Let us remind you that the Russian top model and the recognized Hollywood handsome man dated for about four years, without officially legitimizing the relationship. In March 2020, Irina gave birth to a daughter, Leah, from Cooper. The couple rarely went out together and did not talk about their personal lives. As Irina explained, the essence of her work is to be on display. Therefore, the model decided to keep something private for herself that she will not show to anyone. “I have a lot of friends who are very open about sharing their personal lives on Instagram or social media, very publicly. I admire it and think it's great. But this is everyone’s personal choice,” she said in an interview with one of the glossy publications.
Irina with Bradley
Soon rumors began to circulate that the couple was thinking about a second child. But the guesses were not destined to come true. Like a bolt from the blue, fans were stunned by the news about the separation of the lovers. Information about the high-profile breakup appeared after the 2019 Oscars ceremony. Bradley Cooper, who appeared on stage, openly flirted with Lady Gaga, who played his hero’s lover in the film “A Star Is Born.” At this time, Irina Shayk was also in the hall. Since then, the couple has stopped going out together and, as their fans understand, the relationship between the stars has come to an end. Soon, Irina came to the Met Gala fashion ball without her ex-man.

However, Shayk denies flirting with Lady Gaga as a reason for his breakup with Bradley. In an interview with British Vogue, she explained that “two great people cannot make a good couple.” By the way, Lady Gaga also denies rumors about her affair with Cooper and that he moved to live in her mansion. The singer said that at the Oscar ceremony the actor only played along with her, as this was required to attract the public's attention to the film, where he plays mutual love.
Irina Shayk believes that the reasons for failures in her personal life are that men cannot see her true personality under the feigned coldness of the top model. “I definitely know what I want, some men are afraid of that. If someone leaves my life, then he leaves completely, I really break all ties. I think some people are afraid of this coldness. Not many people know that underneath all this is a kind, sweet person who cries in interviews,” Shayk complained.
Fans note the similarity between the sisters
Irina Shayk biography
- Despite the fact that now Shayk is literally “swimming” in money, in her youth, things in her family were not so good. Irina was born in the city of Yemanzhelinsk, Chelyabinsk region. Valery's father worked as a miner, but when the girl was 14 years old, he died of pneumonia.
- All responsibility for two daughters (the model has an older sister, Tatyana) fell on the fragile shoulders of grandmother Galya and mother Olga, a music teacher.
- After graduating from school, Irina entered the Chelyabinsk College of Economics and received an education in marketing.
- In her first year, the girl signed a contract with the Svetlana modeling agency and won the Supermodel competition. After that, she moved to Moscow, where she was noticed by scout Gia Dzhikidze, who gave a “impetus” to the then unknown model.
- A few months later, the girl’s popularity skyrocketed, she conquered Europe and then the USA.
Personal life of sister Irina Shayk
After graduating from college and receiving a diploma in economics, Tatyana Sheykhlislamova married entrepreneur Alexander Petenkov, whom she had been dating for a long time. The couple permanently live and work in Chelyabinsk, and are in no hurry to move anywhere. Well done, you have such an opportunity, they have it. Tatyana and Alexander are raising wonderful children - a daughter and a son, who go to the most ordinary Chelyabinsk school.
Tanyusha tries to visit her sister as often as possible, and at the same time, the children organize small holidays. When Shayk became pregnant, Petenkova came to her with her daughter and son during her period. The girls visited Disneyland, walked around the city, took a lot of pictures, went to local coffee shops, drank milkshakes and had fun.
Not long ago, information appeared on the Internet that Shanina Shayk and Irina Shayk are sisters. Only these are just rumors. Apart from Tatyana Petenkova, the girl has no sisters.

Plastic surgery
Many people wonder how many plastic surgeries Irina had to undergo to achieve the result she has now? Fans are sure that their favorite has never been on a surgical table and owes her exotic appearance to her Tatar roots on her father’s side. But, looking at Shayk’s youthful photographs, anyone will notice changes in the model’s figure and facial features.
The most obvious change was breast enlargement. In photographs taken in 2004-2005 for a modeling agency, one can see more modest sizes than in photographs in professional magazines dated 2014-2016.
Fans are sure that this is just a “push-up” or high-quality retouching, but even in the photos from the carpet, where Irina often appears in revealing outfits, it is clear that there was some plastic surgery involved.
One can only guess why the model needed to resort to changes, because her figure already aroused admiration among both men and women.
People who are actively interested in Irina’s life claim that she definitely had a nose job and “pumped up” her lips, but there is no secret here. The girl inherited her plump lips from her mother, and the shape of her nose changed slightly thanks to makeup and facial contouring.
The model herself claims that she has a negative attitude towards all types of plastic surgery, and encourages girls to love themselves as they are. But maybe Sheik is still being disingenuous, based on the best intentions?
How the figure of a fashion diva has changed with age
Tall, long-legged and graceful - this is how Irina Shayk was and remains now, despite the fact that she gave birth to a child in April 2020. Just three months after giving birth, she appeared on the cover of Vogue, and six months later she appeared on the catwalk.

Fans noticed that their favorite's breasts had increased somewhat and acquired a rounded shape. Immediately there was talk about mammoplasty performed by Irina Shayk. However, such metamorphoses of the mammary glands are natural for a young mother, and underwear with a push-up effect has not been canceled!

Personal life
In 2010, Irina Shayk met football star Cristiano Ronaldo; the couple were together for five years, but eventually the union broke up due to the football player’s constant affairs.
At the end of 2020, Irina’s romance with actor Bradley Cooper blew up the world media. No one believed in their couple, but on April 10, 2020, the model gave birth to Bradley’s daughter, who was named Leah de Seine Shayk-Cooper.
What is known about Irina Shayk’s older sister, who lives in Krasnodar
Celebrities always have close relatives that we don't know about. Even if an entire family lives publicly and has achieved success in show business, some of the relatives still remain behind the scenes.
But these relatives are not always so close to us in spirit, because they live, for example, in Krasnodar, like Irina Shayk’s older sister, Tatyana Petenkova.
