HELLO.RU continues to talk about what celebrity children wear. Last time we got acquainted with the style of the baby Anaka - the son of Candice Swanepoel and her lover - fashion model Hermann Nicoli, and today the heroine of our column is the one-year-old Leya - the daughter of Russian model Irina Shayk and Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper.

Times when famous beauties they pulled or even refrained from procreation, being afraid to spoil the figure and say goodbye to their careers, have long since sunk into oblivion. Now models are not afraid to make a choice in favor of the family, and some - in the direction of having many children. Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes and Behati Prinsloo already have two children and easily returned to their former forms after giving birth. Heidi Klum has four children, and Natalia Vodianova has five. Last year, Irina Shayk also joined the list of star mothers.

I don't think there is perfect time for the birth of children. First you need to find perfect person. My sister had her first child when she was 22 and it was the perfect time for her. I'll be 31 and maybe that's the perfect time for me. Now I am very happy! I'm lucky to have everything I want

Irina shared with reporters shortly before her pregnancy became known.

However, this is where the model's revelations on the topic of personal life and motherhood ended. About your" interesting position"She did not announce in some special way - she just went out with a rounded belly, doing it very effectively - at the Victoria's Secret show.

So, Shayk's pregnancy became known in the fall of 2016, and in the spring - March 21, 2017 - Irina's daughter was born from Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper, whom she started dating two years before. The baby was named Leah de Sien Shake-Cooper.

Hidden in matters of personal life, Irina and Bradley surprisingly quickly showed their daughter to the public. Again, without further comment - they just went for a walk with the baby and caught the eye of the paparazzi. Fans saw the first photos of Leia in July 2017 and even then they accurately determined who the girl looked like - she was just a copy of her dad Bradley. The same Blue eyes, small nose, round cheeks, mischievous smile, blond hair. Perhaps later Irina's "supermodel" genes will take over and Leia will show her plump lips, olive tan and legs "from the ears", but for now she still has to grow and grow ...

And Leia is growing happy child, in a full-fledged and loving family - this can be judged by numerous joint photo Irina and Bradley on walks with their daughter. When they go to a Halloween party, to the market for food or to the beach, they take the girl with them everywhere and everywhere. If one of the family members needs to be away from home due to work, the second one takes care of Leah. However, young parents also have a powerful support team - Irina's nanny and mother, who now lives in the United States almost permanently.

It’s too early to talk seriously about the baby’s own style - after all, there aren’t a lot of fashion tricks in her arsenal yet - but it’s quite possible not to be serious. Blouses and pants in cheerful colors, cute overalls, shorts and T-shirts, panama hats and caps - that's what Leah and her parents obviously like. By the way, to last Irina and Bradley are clearly not breathing evenly: they constantly put funny hats on their daughter, which is why she has already been called the queen of hats on the network.

When it comes to favorite colors, Irina and Bradley don't reinvent the wheel by choosing baby sets in all shades of red and pink and win-win white. Although here's how to look: considering what a mischievous child Leia grows up, white may not be the most practical color.

In the winter of this year, rumors began to circulate on the network about the upcoming second replenishment in the family of Shayk and Cooper. The couple was seen on the threshold of a family planning center, and after Irina began to appear mainly in loose dresses. However, while these conversations remain at the level of rumors. During the Cannes Film Festival, Irina appeared on the red carpet in an outfit that emphasized her chiseled flawless figure. Well, everything has its time, perhaps someday little Leah will still have a brother or sister.

About the profession

The modeling business is incredibly complex. The competition is high. People who are far from him usually think: she puts on beautiful dresses, walks, smiles and gets a lot of money for nothing. This is wrong. Modeling is very hard work. I've talked about it a thousand times: Paris was the first city abroad I went to (and I started at 20 - quite late for a model). I lived in rented apartment with other girls (some of them openly laughed at me), I didn't know French, plus they paid very little, and I almost never had any money. I know for sure - incredibly difficult work. Nothing can be planned with this way of life: very for a long time my schedule was such that yesterday I did not know what I would do tomorrow. But I liked it and like it. I don't like to spend my days in the office.

I think that when you get something by overcoming difficulties, you begin to appreciate it more. It's easier, of course, to wake up successful and famous without any effort, but what's the point?

About Russian girls

Our girls are special. They are always well dressed and know how to take care of themselves. And beauty like ours is nowhere to be found. Not least due to the fact that in our blood - the best of many nationalities.

Irina Shayk about her style

Oh yeah! I love high heels from the age of 10. At school I always wore short skirts and high heels. Classmates laughed: skinny and high heels. But I just put on what I liked, spitting on the opinions of other people who were completely strangers to me. So now. I hate spending money on trendy designer clothes. I prefer win-win classic options that will be relevant for several years. In general, when I'm not working, I can go all day in a tracksuit, without hair and makeup: everything is simple - I'm terribly bored doing them "just like that." In general, my style is very simple: I try to be restrained. Although sometimes I like to mix: for example, jeans and a plain white T-shirt with a bag Chanel . I love bags and shoes - these are accents that help complete the look. And perfect! I also love underwear because it gives a woman confidence and emancipation. Although, as for me, the definition of sexuality is very simple - to be yourself. Believe me, this is the most attractive thing in the world.

About social networks

Irina Shayk about beauty secrets

There are no special hacks. For me personally, this is a dream of at least 8 hours (I like to sleep), a lot of water and healthly food. I spend a lot of time in the sun, so I protect my skin properly. In the morning I wipe my face with an ice cube from infusion of chamomile and green tea. I also love to moisturize my skin with a piece of cucumber. And, of course, a banya, a Russian banya, where I use my own scrub (honey + sea salt). I don't believe in plastic surgery I think the most important thing is to love your body. I am sure that every woman is special, regardless of size.

About the physical form

Where now without fitness? To advertise lingerie or a swimsuit, you need to practice a lot. The main thing is to find what works for your body. My the main problem is that I quickly get bored with everything, so I often change classes and training systems. I have a personal trainer with whom I work out 3 to 5 days a week at gym. I love it and I feel full of energy after class. It's really important to do what you love.

Irina Shayk (real name Irina Valerievna Shaikhlislamova) - model international level with Tatar roots. Thanks to her luxurious appearance and perseverance, the girl became known outside of Russia, first winning the heart of the famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo, and then Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper.

Childhood and family

Now Irina Shayk has everything - fame, money, fans and a beloved man, the father of her child. But the girl's path to the heights was thorny.

Irina was born on January 6, 1986 in the "coal" town of Yemanzhelinsk, which is 50 kilometers from Chelyabinsk. The Shaikhlislamov family did not live well: father Valery worked in a mine, mother Olga taught the children to play the piano. Also, the older sister of Irina Tatyana was growing up in the family. Irina inherited the best from her parents: hard work, perseverance and oriental beauty from her father, and love for music from her mother.


“We had a very small town, in fact a village,” the girl recalled, “everyone lived on the same street and knew each other as flaky. And we also had our own garden - it was difficult to survive without it. We grew potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers ourselves. I helped my mother with the garden since childhood.


Irina was 14 years old when her father died due to lung cancer. To raise both daughters to their feet, mother had to work hard.


Irina studied at school number 4. And here she had a hard time. Firstly, the teachers tried to retrain her, left-handed, to write “as it should”, not paying attention to the girl’s lag in many subjects. But towards the end high school Irina became an excellent student, and they even began to set her up as an example to her classmates. Due to her tall stature and thinness, the boys did not pay attention to Irina, except that they teased her with offensive nicknames: “Chunga-Changa”, “Plywood”, “Calancha”.


Modeling career

After school, Irina entered the Chelyabinsk College of Economics, where her sister Tatiana had been living for a couple of years.


Tatyana attended a beauty school at the Svetlana modeling studio. At her invitation, Irina also began to go there, which, as it turned out, perfectly matched the parameters of the “underwear” model. At the age of 18, she made her debut at the regional beauty contest "Supermodel" and won, having received fabulous money for her - 60 thousand rubles.


After that, the Svetlana agency paid the young model a trip to Moscow to participate in the Supermodel of Russia federal competition and a photo shoot. Irina acted in her own way: she terminated the contract, but she nevertheless appeared at the competition in the capital, and not alone, but together with a wealthy escort.


It's in the competition bright beauty noted the president of the international modeling agency Grace models, Gia Dzhikidze, who was on the jury, who opened many top models to the world, including Natalya Vodyanova. He invited the girl to Paris. Irina was not going to become a professional model, but she understood that the contract would help her earn money to help her family, and agreed.

Then the girl realized that this was a difficult business with merciless competition.


But innate perseverance made itself felt. By 2008, Irina Shayk's portfolio included shooting for an authoritative gloss: Elle, Glamour, Annabelle, GQ, Jalouse, Bolero, and Intimissimi invited Irina to participate in an advertising company. Three years later, she represented the company as an international ambassador.
