Why Irina keeps it private

Russian model IRINA SHAYK’s relationship with US actor-director BRADLEY COOPER (44) is anything but a secret – in fact he didn’t shy away from thanking his girlfriend during his acceptance speech at the recent Baftas, where his movie A Star Is Born won best original music. But try to get either of them to dish about their romance and you’re almost guaranteed to fail.

Irina (33), who shares a 23-month-old daughter, Lea, with Bradley, has explained why in an interview with Glamour UK.

“I have a lot of friends who share a lot of their personal life on Instagram or social media, very publicly,” she said. “I think it’s all about personal choice. Because my work requires me to be out there I just decided my personal life will be quiet. That’s why it’s called personal, because it’s something for you and your family and I feel happy with it.” Got it?
