She currently boasts an impressive 22.4 million Instagram followers.
But Irina Shayk once saw her follower count dramatically shrink following her split from Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Sun reports the model, who is now linked to Tom Brady, lost 11 million Instagram followers within 24 hours following their break-up Ronaldo.
The couple called it quits 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, Irina, 37, was down 11 million followers, according to The Sun.

That drop accounted for 75 percent of her followers, the site adds.
Currently, Cristiano has 597 million people following him on Instagram.
Irina and Cristiano were one of the world’s huge power couples during their long romance, which lasted from 2010 to 2015.
After their split, Cristiano moved on with Georgina Rodriguez, who he is still with, while Irina went on to date Oscar winning actor Bradley Cooper.
During their four year long relationship, they welcomed a daughter together, Lea De Seine. They ultimately called it quits in 2019.
During a past interview with Elle, Irina discussed raising Lea with her ex, Bradley, although 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 mother, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad. Co-parenting is parenting,’ and also gushed that Cooper is ‘the most amazing dad.’
In April, Shayk also got candid while talking to Harper’s Bazaar about how motherhood has changed her and boosted her confidence.

The star admitted that she hasn’t always been confident, even as a successful model. ‘It’s just that I’ve learned to love my imperfections. You need to love all of you. My daughter is a big part of why I started to love myself even more.’
”When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mother, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad. Co-parenting is parenting,’ and also gushed that Cooper is ‘the most amazing dad.’
Irina has since been linked to NFL legend Tom Brady. The athlete was caught gently caressing the 37-year-old Russian bombshell’s face following an overnight rendezvous at his Los Angeles home on Saturday.
Now sources have exclusively told DailyMail.com the new couple have ‘a lot of chemistry’ and that the dalliance is ‘not just a fling’ with Brady seeing a ‘future with Shayk – two months after meeting at Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick’s wedding.

One insider said: ‘Tom is really ecstatic that this is happening, he feels that they totally get each other, and he really finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial, and has a clever sense of humor that really appeals to everything he is all about.
‘She is not just a fling; he really wants to make this work.’
‘He always told himself after his divorce that he would only get involved with someone that a future could be made, someone he could eventually introduce to his kids.
‘He really thinks very highly of her and where this relationship could go. He has zero worry with her, they seem to get each other and get along quite well.’
Another source added: ‘They’re dating and having fun. It was Tom who invited Irina to his home in LA after they really clicked in May [at Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick’s wedding.]
‘They’ve been in touch ever since then, trying to line up schedules to meet. They have a lot of chemistry. They’re excited to see where it goes but it’s still early days.’
