Irina Shayk considers Tom Cruise as potential boyfriend after fling with NFL star Tom Brady fizzled, claims source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Russian bombshell Irina Shayk reportedly placed Tom Cruise on her list of potential suitors after her six-month, on-off relationship with seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady.
The 61-year-old Hollywood icon—who has three children and has been divorced three times—has reportedly been single since February when his two-month romance with Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova ended.
Sources say Irina Shayk is looking 'in Europe and USA' for new boyfriend
Model Irina Shayk is famous for more than only her exotic beauty and exquisite photos for Givenchy and Burberry. The 38-year-old is also known for having dated some of the world's finest men.
For instance, the model has dated rapper Kanye West, soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, and actor Bradley Cooper, with whom she has a daughter named Lea.
Shayk was reportedly involved in an intermittent romance with NFL star Tom Brady. Despite the unfortunate end of their romance, insiders close to the model revealed that she is currently looking to date again but is having trouble finding a compatible companion.
"Irina is looking in Europe and in the USA," a source revealed to Page Six on Wednesday, April 24.
The source added, "She is shopping, but her dating pool is a tiny group of people. She needs famous, good looking and money. How many of those are there? Five, ten?"
Irina Shayk reportedly considering Tom Cruise as potential boyfriend
Tom Cruise, who recently separated from Russian socialite Elsina Khayrova, was mentioned by the source as a potential candidate for single Irina Shayk.
In October 2023, Shayk called it quits on her romance with former football player Tom Brady.
A source revealed to PEOPLE at the time: "They both keep having obligations, and it was getting more difficult to be in the same city at the same time. Irina has nothing but great things to say about Tom."
Since their January 15 dinner at the French restaurant Brasserie Fouquet's New York in Manhattan's Tribeca area, the 38-year-old Society Management Model and the 46-year-old retired NFL quarterback have not been publicly spotted together.
Irina Shayk once admitted her personality makes it difficult for her to date men
An interview with the model has surfaced recently, which could shed light on why Irina Shayk has been unsuccessful in finding a compatible partner, amid rumors that she is looking for her next romantic partner.
The model revealed in a 2021 British Vogue interview that she had trouble finding a man who would easily become her partner because she has been a public figure, businesswoman, and mother.
She continued by saying she thought her relationships were occasionally impacted by her personality.
Shayk admitted at the time: "I'm a tough person. I have a strong personality and I definitely know what I want, and I think some men are scared of that."
"If somebody's out of my life, they're out of my life and I really cut all the ties, you know? I think some people are really scared of this coldness. I also think not many people know that underneath this there's a nice, sweet person who cries in interviews," she added.
Born Shaykhlislamova, Shayk and her ex-fiance Bradley Cooper share 50/50 joint legal and physical custody of their seven-year-old daughter Lea De Seine Cooper, and they do not have any nanny, per Daily Mail.
The 49-year-old director-actor of 'Maestro'—who has been dating 29-year-old IMG Model Gigi Hadid since October 2023—called it quits on his four-year romance with Shayk in 2019.
