Irina Shayk never leaves the covers of glossy magazines, regularly appears on TV screens and has a whole army of fans. But few people know about what she lives, where she comes from and what she loves and what does not.
Irina Shayk is a supermodel with Tatar roots
Irina was born in the small town of Yemanzhelinsk in the family of a miner and a music teacher. And the extraordinary appearance, which made her world famous and popular, the girl owes to a mixture of Russian and Tatar blood. The girl's father died when she was very young, and her mother was involved in the upbringing of Irina and her sister. The girl's childhood cannot be called comfortable, despite the efforts of the mother, it often happened that the family needed money.
Despite this, the girls received an excellent education. Even at school, Irina showed high success in the humanities, and after graduating from basic education she graduated from an economic college in Chelyabinsk. From the age of 9, Irina played the piano perfectly, sang and showed interest in the performing arts.
The first successes in the modeling business
Irina began her career in the modeling business in Chelyabinsk, while studying in college. During an ordinary walk, the girl received an invitation to the Svetlana model image club, where she worked as a model until 2004.
But the real success came to the girl after participating in a beauty contest. She won her first victory at one of the regional supermodel competitions and received a prize of 60,000 rubles, which was then a fortune for her. After the victory, Irina left the image club, which became for her a kind of ticket to life, and went to conquer the capital, with which, by the way, she did an excellent job.
Within a few years, Irina began to flicker on the covers of the most prestigious glossy magazines and conquered the heights of the world model catwalk.
Irina Shayk - who is she now
Success and worldwide fame did not break the girl, but only made her stronger and wiser, in her own words. She chooses both business partners and men very meticulously, not allowing her to waste on trifles.
Today Irina has several contracts with world famous modeling agencies and manufacturers of clothing, lingerie and cosmetics. She is very much in demand in the world of music show business, as the heroine of clips, and she is even dedicated to rapper musical compositions.
As a "field" for charity, the model chose her hometown of Yemanzhelinsk, in which she oversees the work of caring for children abandoned by their parents. In addition, Irina is actively involved in the Pomogi.org charitable foundation, which raises funds to perform surgeries for seriously ill children.
