Irina Shayk posted a series of swimsuit photos to Instagram Sunday that drew attention not only for the images but also for the string of high‑profile men she has been linked to, including Tom Brady, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bradley Cooper.
In the posts, the 39‑year‑old model wore a black two‑piece while posing on a swing suspended from a mature tree and beside a swimming pool, her hair wet and makeup dewy as if she had just taken a dip. Her caption read, "Past your bedtime," and fellow model Carolyn Murphy registered a like, Daily Mail reported.
The posts come amid renewed tabloid attention on Shayk's romantic history and recent reports that she and Brady quietly rekindled a casual relationship earlier this year. Page Six reported the pair, who were first linked in July 2023, reconnected in February and had discussed taking a trip together around New Year's. The outlet cited an unnamed insider saying the two had "been talking on the phone" and were open to seeing "where things go." The original July 2023 reports said Brady and Shayk had briefly dated that summer before the relationship fizzled out in October.
Shayk has previously been romantically linked to several high‑profile figures. She was in a four‑year relationship with actor Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares daughter Lea De Seine; reports in the U.S. press have described the child as eight years old. She has also been connected in the tabloids to Cristiano Ronaldo and Leonardo DiCaprio. The recent Instagram images and the renewed attention follow those earlier associations and the brief public relationship with Brady.
DailyMail.com, which published the photos and background material, also quoted an insider commenting on Brady's approach to past relationships. The source said that if Brady "had more time for love, he would be all about it and would likely still be dating Irina," adding that Brady has remained focused on business interests, sports team ownership and preparation for a commentating role and did not want to divide his attention.
Brady was previously married to supermodel Gisele Bündchen; the couple separated in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. He shares two children with Bündchen, Benjamin and Vivian, and has a son, Jack, from a previous relationship. The renewed reports of contact with Shayk do not include confirmation of a formal relationship from either party.
Shayk, a Vogue cover model, has kept her social media content focused on fashion and lifestyle imagery, frequently drawing coverage for both professional work and personal posts. The Instagram post on Sunday added to the ongoing media narrative that tracks celebrity photograph releases alongside reports about their personal lives, a staple of entertainment coverage that often combines direct posts with reporting from page‑Six‑style outlets and celebrity weeklies.
Neither Shayk nor Brady issued public statements tied to the Instagram post or to the reports of renewed contact. Media reports about the pair’s connection rely on unnamed sources and eyewitness accounts published in tabloid and entertainment outlets.
