Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has become another man who has fallen into the charms of breath-taking beauty of Russian ladies. Tabloids actively discuss Ronaldo’s love affair with Russian model Irina Sheik.
Born as Irina Sheikhlislamova, the girl spent her childhood in a tiny apartment in the town of Emanzhelinsk, in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia.
Irina was born to become a fashion model. She went to a local agency in Chelyabinsk in 2004. The agency was not impressed with her body and face. The same year Irina won a regional beauty pageant and went to Moscow. Afterwards, she traveled to New York and Paris.
Irina Sheik has been on the catwalk for Guess, Lacoste, Missoni and La Perla. She was a lingerie model for Intimisimi and appeared on the covers of fashion magazines. Now the model works with Armani: she met Ronaldo when shooting a commercial for this fashion house.
Before her acquaintance to Ronaldo she was in a relationship with Linkin Park rock band drummer Rob Bourdon.
Recently Portuguese star football player Cristiano Ronaldo has proposed to his beloved Russian-born model Irina Sheik. Sheik has already received her parents’ blessing.
Observers of the Portuguese newspaper Correio de Manha have learned that Ronaldo struggled for the heart of the hot green-eyed brunette. Twenty-four-year-old Irina Sheik, known for her career as a lingerie model with Victoria's Secret and Intimissimi, was chased by the Portuguese half-back of Spanish Real Madrid for over four months. The girl persistently refused to give out her cell phone number, but eventually succumbed to his charms.
The relationship was made public in May this year when the couple was noticed together on vacation in Corsica.
