Who is Irina Shayk?

Irina Valeryevna Shaykhlislamova, popularly known as Irina Shayk or Irina Sheik, is a famous Russian model and actress. Raised in rural Russia, Irina Shayk got into the modeling world after her mother took her to a beauty school. After winning the title of ‘Miss Chelyabinsk 2004’, she moved to Paris and began her modeling career. Her first experience abroad was a bit hard due to the fact that she could barely speak English at that time and thus ended up struggling to fit in. After doing a lot of hard work, Shayk appeared in the 2007 ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue’ and received rave reviews. The same year, she also became the exclusive face of Intimissimi lingerie. Shayk became the first Russian model to grace the cover of ‘Sports Illustrated’ in 2011. She has done modeling for Victoria's Secret and other famous brands like Lacoste, Beach Bunny swimwear and Guess as well. She is also known as the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriend.
