Cristiano Ronaldo Girlfriend Irina Shayk: Meet The ‘Sports Illustrated’ Model Soccer Player Loves Before World Cup [VIDEO]
Cristiano Ronaldo is without a doubt one of the hottest soccer players around, but his supermodel girlfriend may be even hotter!
Ronaldo, 29, best known for playing soccer on Real Madrid and representing the Portugal national team is dating Sports Illustrated stunner Irina Shayk.
Shayk is a 28-year-old Russian beauty who started modeling after she got noticed in a beauty pageant during high school. In 2007, Shayk really got noticed when she became the face of Intimissimi lingerie and made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Did Irina And Cristiano Secretly Get Hitched?
In 2011, Shayk earned the cover of the SI Swimsuit Issue, putting her in an elite group of women including Tyra Banks, Kate Upton, Christie Brinkley and Brooklyn Decker.
"It's one of the most important things that can happen to a model in her career," Shayk said about getting the cover. "People now recognize me on the street."
Ronaldo and Shayk have reportedly been dating since around 2010. While Shayk certainly supports her famous boyfriend, back then the model revealed to GQ she wasn't such a fan of his sport. "I'm not a fan of soccer, for sure not."
A few months after he started dating the model, Ronaldo shocked the world by revealing he was a new father and that Shayk was not the mother.
"It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy," Ronaldo posted on his Facebook page. "As agreed with the baby's mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship."
This didn't seem to be an issue for the internationally known Shayk. Shayk stood by her man and has been seen many times bonding with Cristiano Ronaldo, Jr.
Shayk and Ronaldo even took their love to the newsstands, by posing nude for Vogue Spain's June 2014 issue. Next up for this brunette beauty? Starring in Hercules with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
