Supermodel Irina Shayk turned heads with a stunning beach display in Miami over the weekend, showcasing her toned physique in a skimpy swimsuit while enjoying a dip in the ocean. The 40-year-old Russian-born star, who recently celebrated Valentine's Day in Florida, was joined by her eight-year-old daughter Lea for the relaxing daytime outing.
Chic Beach Style and Family Time
Shayk sported a fashionable black bikini featuring a plunging neckline top and matching drawstring bottoms adorned with a white polka dot pattern. Her long locks flowed naturally past her shoulders, complemented by a black cap perched on her head. The mother-of-one accessorised her look with a delicate necklace and a pair of stylish sunglasses.
During the beach day, Shayk was spotted jumping into the cool ocean waters, soaking up the warm sunshine while layering her bikini with a white button-up shirt. She and Lea briefly enjoyed a stroll along the sandy shore, making for a picturesque family moment.
Fitness Philosophy and Balanced Lifestyle
When it comes to maintaining her enviable figure, Shayk has previously opened up about her fitness routine and dietary approach. "I work out a lot," she told People in a past interview. "I do boxing, I do a little jiu jitsu which I am obsessed with."
In a 2019 conversation with Vogue, the model revealed her balanced perspective on nutrition: "I don't believe in diets, I think food is an important part of one's life and it makes a person happy, so I find a balance between eating and working out." She further added that she enjoys Pilates reformer sessions, workouts with her trainer, and walking regularly.
Romance Speculation and Co-Parenting Focus
This latest Miami beach outing comes two months after Shayk reportedly rekindled her romance with retired NFL star Tom Brady. The pair first sparked relationship speculation in 2023 before their romance reportedly "fizzled" out.
Sources told the Daily Mail in December that the two stars "are not serious" and their connection is merely a "situationship." An insider explained: "Tom and Irina are on the same page, namely that they're not looking for anything serious or to go exclusive. They find time to be with each other when they can, and that's that."
However, Brady has since been linked to media personality Alix Earle, with the pair spotted together at a New Year's Eve bash in St. Barts and later at a pre-Super Bowl event in San Francisco.
Positive Co-Parenting Approach
Amid the romance rumours, Shayk remains focused on raising her daughter with ex-partner Bradley Cooper through what she describes as a positive co-parenting relationship. The model and actor, who dated from 2015 until their split in 2019, share custody of Lea.
Shayk explained to People that they strive to make their daughter always "feel comfortable" despite both parents living in the spotlight. "She has very, very little digital access, almost down to none," Shayk revealed, emphasising that their priority is for Lea to be "building community, friends and just giving love."
The model also discussed how she teaches her daughter about self-confidence, noting: "I just feel like there are so many beauty standards out there that of course I try to protect my daughter from."
Hands-On Parenting Without Nannies
During a 2023 conversation with Elle, Shayk disclosed that Lea does not have a nanny. "We both take Lea everywhere with us," she said. "She's super easy. Two days ago, I had to go to the gym, so I just got her a drawing book and said, 'Mama's working out.' She was drawing for an hour."
Despite busy schedules, Shayk expressed that she and Cooper "always find a way" to coordinate parenting responsibilities. She gushed about her ex: "He's the best father Lea and I could dream of. It always works, but it always works because we make it work." Cooper is currently dating model Gigi Hadid.
The Miami beach day represents another chapter in Shayk's balanced approach to modelling career, personal relationships, and dedicated motherhood, all while maintaining her signature style and fitness regimen that continues to captivate fans worldwide.
