Kanye West made first move with Irina Shayk and loves she’s ‘laid-back,’ Kim met her ‘several times’

ROB BOURDON: 2007-2009 

Irina began dating Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon around 2007.

Details are limited about the pairing and it is not exactly clear when the relationship began.

Irina and Rob split in October 2009 and have kept the reasons for their breakup private.

SEPP BLATTER / ARTHUR SALES: 2009  

Following her relationship with Bourdon, Shayk was rumored to have a tryst with former FIFA president Sepp Blatter. 

While their relationship was never confirmed, they were rumored to have been seeing each other in 2009.

The 85 year old Blatter is 50 years older than the 35 year old Shayk.

Around the same time Shayk was also rumored to be dating Brazilian model Arthur Sales, who, unlike Blatter, is six years younger.

Little is known about their romance, but they were rumored to be dating between February 2009 and November 2009.

CHRISTIANO RONALDO: 2010-2015

In May 2010, Shayk began her four and a half year relationship with Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Shayk and Ronaldo reportedly met through their modeling campaigns for Armani Exchange. 

Then in January 2015, Ronaldo released a statement confirming they had broken up after nearly five years. 

‘After dating for five years, my relationship with Irina Shayk has come to an end, the footballer said in a statement.

‘We believed it would be best for both of us to take this step now,’ he added, without adding any further details about the split.

 

DWAYNE JOHNSON: 2014 

While it was never confirmed, it was rumored that Shayk briefly dated her co-star from the 2014 blockbuster Hercules, Dwayne Johnson.

Still, their relationship was never officially confirmed, though they were seen posing on the red carpet together at the Hercules premiere.

He would go on to marry singer Lauren Hashian in 2019.

BRADLEY COOPER: 2015-2019

In April 2015, Shayk started dating Bradley Cooper, following his break-up with model Suki Waterhouse. 

Just a few months after dating Cooper, the A Star Is Born star moved into her Manhattan townhouse and Shayk gave birth to her first child with Cooper, Lea De Seine, in March 2017.

During their time together, they were fiercely private about their relationship.

‘I have a lot of friends who share a lot of their personal life on Instagram or social media, very publicly,’ she told Glamour in February 2019. ‘I admire it and I think it’s great — but I think it’s all about personal choice.’

‘Because my work requires me to be out there, I just decided my personal life will be quiet. 

‘That’s why it’s called personal, because it’s something for you and your family and I feel happy with it.’

Bradley and Irina amicably parted ways in June 2019. They remain friends, closely co-parenting their daughter together.

Last January Irina opened up about the end of their romance, saying: ‘I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst — it’s just the nature of a human being. Two great people don’t have to make a good couple.’ 

VITO SCHNABEL: 2020

Irina was first linked to art dealer Vito Schnabel in March of 2020, around the start of the global coronavirus pandemic. 

Vito – who previously dated Heidi Klum – and Shayk seemed close, even enjoying a few park dates with her daughter.

The duo never confirmed they were seeing each other and the last time they were spotted together was in December 2020.

Speaking about the pairing at the time, an insider said: ‘Irina has known Vito for years and they’ve always been friends. They used to double date when Vito was with Heidi and Irina was with Bradley. Now, they are both single and quarantined in New York.’

‘Vito is a big flirt and Irina is his type,’ they went on. ‘She likes the attention. They are neighbors and are spending a lot of time together. 

‘When Irina’s daughter is with Bradley [Cooper], she has downtime and she likes the company. 

‘It’s easy for right now to see Vito and go over to his place. They’ve been spending all day together and the evenings as well. She likes connecting with someone she is comfortable with.’

KANYE WEST: 2021

Rumors Kanye was romancing the Russian model first emerged on social media in May 2021.

DailyMail.com officially confirmed their romance with exclusive pictures of the pair taking a romantic stroll around Provence, France on June 9th 2021.

The pair were seen smiling and strolling around on the grounds of a luxury boutique hotel with some friends. 

Irina and Kanye are certainly no strangers to one another, having been connected for more than a decade.

Back in 2010, the runway maven was a featured player in West’s Heaven-inspired Power music video, where she portrayed an angel.

Just two years later, the Russian-born beauty put her modeling skills to the test as she graced the runway for West’s Fall/Winter fashion collection at Paris Fashion Week.
