Both recently found themselves single and looking for romance - back in March, Tom announced his divorce from Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen, after 13 years of marriage; Irina has also been looking for someone new since her last relationship, with Bradley Cooper, reached the end of the road.
The pair were recently spotted, looking smitten, with Irina in the passenger seat of Brady’s Rolls Royce out and about in Los Angeles.
Irina prefers to keep her love life private but that’s not so easy when you are an A-list model mixing in high-class circles. Almost all of her old flames have been well-known celebrities in the fashion, entertainment or sports worlds. We take a look back at some of her high-profile relationships.
Valerio Morabito
Irina dated Italian businessman and producer Valerio Morabito just as her modelling career was taking off. The relationship lasted about a year and eventually succumbed to the strains of the model’s hectic work schedule and growing popularity which led to the couple parting ways.
Rob Bourdon
She is believed to have got together with Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon in 2007 with some sources claiming that the relationship lasted a couple of years although no photos of the pair together have emerged. It’s possible that they met at an industry event or a concert - if true they kept their tryst well hidden from the paparazzi.
Arthur Sales
Photos did appear of Irina and Brazilian model Arthur Sales posing together on the red carpet at a number of events from February to November 2009. They worked together on several publicity campaigns for Spanish footwear brand Xti, during which their romance presumably blossomed. But that summer, there was a new celebrity on the scene in Madrid…
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in July 2009 and was unveiled to a bumper crowd - the Bernabéu was packed to the rafters to welcome the most expensive signing in football history. Cristiano had recently come out of an eight-month relationship with Nereida Gallardo and arrived in the Spanish capital as an eligible bachelor.
Irina first set eyes on Cristiano while he was filming an ad for Emporio Armani in Madrid in 2010 and were reported to have spent a few days holidaying in Corsica before the South Africa World Cup. The couple initially tried to keep their intimate affairs as private as possible but once it was public knowledge, both were happy to share photos of themselves cosying up on their social media accounts. The relationship did wonders in elevating the model’s profile and in November 2011, she was photographed wearing a huge de Grisgono ring, prompting speculation that Cristiano had popped the question. But it was all over by January 2015, one theory being tensions between the model and the player’s mother.
Bradley Cooper
Neither would remain single for long. By the spring of 2015, Irina entered into another long-term relationship with American actor/filmmaker Bradley Cooper following his split from model Suki Waterhouse. The couple welcomed their daughter Lea de Seine into the world in March 2017 and remain close and on good terms after breaking up in the summer of 2019 - once again, work getting in the way.
Since then, Irina was romantically linked to Kanye West in the spring of 2021 although nothing was ever confirmed.
