Fans of Irina Shayk always love to see her in a new photoshoot, especially a hotter one like her most recent. The model recently appeared in a shoot for a two-piece swimsuit, showing it off in a lot of detail in the various photos under the sun. Christiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend immediately made the headlines of all celebrity editions with the photoshoot, as most were quick to comment that she hasn’t lost her appeal one bit.
It’s peculiar to note that none of the photos in the new set show a recent addition to Irina Shayk’s body – a tattoo she got in memory of her grandmother, who passed away nearly one year ago. The tattoo was revealed in an Instagram post, and it features the name of the model’s grandmother written in her native Cyrilic script, done below her ankle. According to Irina Shayk, her grandmother has played a major role in her upbringing, and has been one of the main people responsible for her success.
Shayk has actually been known to talk about her grandmother in detail, as in another interview she described her work as a spy during World War 2, something which she was apparently quite good at. Irina Shayk went on to say that her grandmother was the strongest woman she knew, has been a major role model in her life, and will likely remain one for a long time. It’s possible that her fans will get to hear more about her grandmother in the coming months as well, as she seems fond of sharing this part of her story with the people who support her in her career.
Irina Shayk has had to go through a lot in order to get where she is now, as she was not born to a family of celebrities like many other people who live in the spotlight. This is possibly why she appreciates the people in her life to a larger extent, at least from what she’s been displaying publicly, and her down to earth attitude has been one of the main reasons for her popularity with her fans.
Her career has been relatively successful so far, after she recently became Suiteblanco’s winter season face. Her work has been quite diverse, as at the same time she was in the process of performing the photoshoot for the swimsuit, which was done on a sunny beach. Models frequently complain about having to travel too often and the frequent change in environment that their jobs entail, but Irina Shayk has so far been one to take her work very seriously, and without showing any signs of wanting to complain.
