Irina Shayk Shows Toned Belly During Vacation Amid Pregnancy Rumors

Russian model Irina Shayk posted a black and white picture on her Instagram page Sunday, while on vacation in Positano, Italy, with her boyfriend, Bradley Cooper, which spurned off rumors that she was pregnant with the actor’s second child.

In the particular picture, Shayk, 32, sat on a chair, in a seemingly mellowed mood, staring at some unknown point, or simply lost in thought. She wore a leopard-printed bikini with a shrug or some kind of a cloth wrapped around her arms. The cloth draped down to her stomach which she cradled between her hands. The shadows in the picture make her stomach look swollen, which led people to believe she was pregnant again.

Many of her fans congratulated the model on her pregnancy in the comments section of the post. “Are you pregnant now?” wrote a user, while another wrote, “pregnant again?”

However, there were those, who did not give in to the rumors, till the model herself opened up about it.

“No she’s not pregnant this is a new picture taken during her vacation” one fan wrote.

The third fan might have been the closest to the truth as pictures of the runway model wearing the same animal-printed attire and flaunting a toned figure were released by tabloid the following day.

The couple packed in ample PDA as they enjoyed their summer vacation, taking dips in the Mediterranean. A number of photos showed Cooper, 43, being the perfect gentleman and helping his girlfriend out of the waters.

The pair welcomed their daughter Lea De Seine in March 2017 in Los Angeles. However, the 17-month-old toddler was nowhere to be seen while her parents vacationed in the picturesque destination, suggesting the couple might have gone to Italy without their daughter.

One of the reasons fans might expect Shayk to reveal the news of rumored pregnancy through a photo is because the Sports Illustrated model broke the news of her first pregnancy by walking on the runway in Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show with a bulging belly in 2016.

Other than occasionally making headlines for her work or her relationship with Cooper, Shayk has maintained a more or less private life, when away from the limelight.

Regarding her romance with Cooper, Shayk told Evening Standard last month: “That’s why it’s called a personal life, because it’s mine. I am really protective of it. I don’t feel like I have to talk about it or promote it. Outside of my job, I am a normal person, and I want to walk outside of my house like a normal person.”

Before the couple started dating in 2015, Bradley was romantically linked with model Suki Waterhouse, 26, for two years while Irina was with Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, 33, for five years.
