Irina Shayk's Stylish Summer in France

Irina Shayk’s summer tour of Europe has a new chapter, and this one is set in France.

On Friday, the 40-year-old supermodel dropped a fresh carousel of photos on Instagram, a tightly edited stream of sun-drenched moments and high-fashion nonchalance. There she is against French backdrops, leaning into easy elegance, drifting between scenery, food, and fashion with the kind of effortlessness that made her a star in the first place.

No captions spelling anything out. No direct nod to the noise around her. Just images. But the timing? That’s doing plenty of talking.

A Photo Dump, A New Narrative

Shayk’s latest glimpse of life in France lands just weeks after her name became tied to Devin Booker’s in the latest round of celebrity–sports crossovers.

Reports in late July placed Shayk and the 29-year-old Phoenix Suns guard together in the Hamptons. The first sparks flew when TMZ noted sightings around East Hampton, including at Tutto Caffè, before another report had them turning up at a party at Delilah. One weekend, a few locations, and suddenly social media had a new mystery couple to dissect.

The whispers didn’t stay whispers for long. A source quoted by People pushed the story further, stating that Booker and Shayk are dating, calling the relationship “very new” but insisting the two “like each other a lot.” According to that account, mutual friends made the introduction a few months back, and the pair have been using the NBA offseason to carve out as much time together as possible.

The same source suggested the connection isn’t casual from Shayk’s side either, claiming she is “very into him” and is expected to be in the stands for some of Booker’s games once the new NBA season tips off.

Publicly, though, it’s silence. No confirmation from Shayk. Nothing from Booker. Just sightings, sources, and a growing stack of Instagram posts that fans are now studying like game film.

From East Hampton To The Riviera

Booker is nowhere to be seen in Shayk’s new French gallery, but the sequence of events is hard to ignore. First the Hamptons, then the reports, now a European summer that she’s documenting shot by shot.

This is familiar territory for Shayk. Her personal life has long intersected with the worlds of Hollywood and elite sport. She shares a daughter, Lea De Seine, with Bradley Cooper, who is currently dating Gigi Hadid. Before that, Shayk’s name was linked to former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, another headline-making crossover between runway and locker room.

Booker brings his own history to the story. The Suns star previously dated Kendall Jenner, their relationship running for several years before ending in 2022. He’s used to the glare that comes when the NBA schedule collides with celebrity culture.

Now, their paths appear to have converged. And while the reports swirl, Shayk’s approach is clear: keep posting, keep moving, keep the conversation on her terms.

Her latest France dump leans into that strategy. No explanations. No clarifications. Just a model at ease in one of the world’s most photographed countries, making the most of the offseason—whether it turns into a courtside winter for her or not.
