She currently boasts an impressive 22.4 million Instagram followers.
But Irina Shayk once had to witness her follower count drop dramatically following Cristiano Ronaldo’s split.
The Sun reports that the model, who is now linked to Tom Brady, lost 11million Instagram followers in 24 hours after splitting from Ronaldo.
The couple split in 2015, and a year later she encouraged social media users to hit the unfollow button if they “only know her as Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriend.”
24 hours later, 37-year-old Irina had lost 11 million followers, according to The Sun.

That drop is down to 75 percent of her followers, the site adds.
He is currently followed by 597 million people on Instagram.
Irina and Cristiano were one of the greatest power couples in the world during their long romance that lasted from 2010 to 2015.
After their split, Cristiano moved in with Georgina Rodriguez, with whom he is still dating, while Irina dated Oscar-winning actor Bradley Cooper.
During their four-year relationship, they had a daughter together, Lea De Seine. In 2019 they finally gave the final line.
During a previous interview with Elle, Irina opened up about raising Lea with her ex, Bradley, even though the two were no longer a couple. “I never understood the term co-parenting.”
“When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mom, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad.”
In April, Shayk also opened up when she spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about how motherhood has transformed her and boosted her confidence.

The star admitted that even as a successful model, she wasn’t always confident. “I just learned to love my imperfections.” You all have to love each other. “My daughter was instrumental in helping me start loving myself even more.”
“When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mom, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad.”
Since then, Irina has been linked to NFL legend Tom Brady. The athlete was caught gently stroking the 37-year-old Russian’s face after a late-night rendezvous at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Now sources have exclusively told that the new couple have “a lot of chemistry” and that the affair is “not just a fling” as Brady sees a “future with Shayk” – two months after meeting at Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick’s wedding.

A source said: “Tom is really excited that this is happening, he feels like they totally hit it off and he genuinely finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial and has a clever sense of humor that really speaks to everything he’s about.”
“It’s not just an affair; He really wants it to work.’
“He always told himself after his divorce that he would only get involved with someone who could create a future, someone that he could someday introduce to his children.”
“He really appreciates her and knows where this relationship could go.” He’s not worried about her, they seem to get along and get along just fine.”
Another source added, “They’re dating and having fun.” It was Tom who invited Irina over to his home in LA after things really worked out in May [at Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick’s wedding.]
“They have been in contact ever since and are trying to work out dates to meet up. You have a lot of chemistry. They’re excited to see where it goes, but it’s still early days.”
