Irina Shayk's 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Photoshoot

Irina Shayk’s 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Photoshoot

By Soccerlens on February 17th, 2011

The 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue with Irina Shayk as the cover model has been released on February 15, 2011. The cover was shot by the American born photographer Bjorn Iooss.

The magazine also includes photos of Brooklyn Decker, Julie Henderson, Chrissy Teigen, Anne V, Cintia Dicker, Esti Ginsburg, Genevieve Morton and Jessiva Gomes.

Irina graces the cover under the headline “Paradise Found in Hawaii” to become the first Russian swimsuit model to be on the cover of SI Swimsuit and this is also her fifth consecutive appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Irina Shayk has been dating Portuguese ace Cristiano Ronaldo who is currently plying his trade in Spain for Real Madrid.

She rose to WAG-fame when she was first seen with the Portugal captain when the two went on a three day trip on a yatch to the island of Corsica in early 2010.

While on the trip, Irina and CR7 also shared a couples’ massage.

This was a couple of months before the news was released that he became a father and all the possibilities of his son’s mothers were discussed widely. And how many of Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriends were from the United States of America?

The photos from the 2011 Sports Illustrated Issue can be found here and below (scroll down after the gallery for a video of the photoshoot).
