Irina Shayk tends to keep her mom life to herself while her model life fills her Instagram feed, but the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star just shared a some precious photos of her 7-year-old daughter. Shayk shares little Lea De Seine with ex Bradley Cooper, and the two enjoyed a gorgeous (if a bit chilly) beach day.
Amidst other artsy photos, Shayk shared a photo of Lea standing by the sea. She’s dressed in shorts, a sweatshirt, and a winter hat, and has her hands on her hips as she looks out at the waves and the sunset beyond. Further in the carousel is a rare selfie of Shayk snuggled up with her little cutie and their dog. Even though Shayk put a black heart emoji over most of her daughter’s face, you can tell by both of their smiles that they’re having the best time sitting in the sand watching the sunset.
“In ????with …..,” Shayk captioned the post.
Fans were so happy to see the adorable photos of Shayk in mom mode.
“Love these pictures of irina and lea, we need to see more!! … irina has been so busy with breath taking photo shoots and catwalks, but these photos are priceless, just gorgeous, ❤️ ❤️,” one person wrote.
“That is happiness, you with daughter beside you,” another said.
Last fall, Shayk spoke to Elle about her parenting dynamic with Cooper. “We both take Lea everywhere with us,” she said. “We always find a way. He’s the best father Lea and I could dream of. It always works, but it always works because we make it work.”
And because Lea is so go-with-the-flow. “She’s super easy. Two days ago, I had to go to the gym, so I just got her a drawing book and said, ‘Mama’s working out.’ She was drawing for an hour,” she added. “Then we went to the Michael Kors fitting. She met all the girls. Michael gave her a bag. She drew him a kitty cat.”
(No! Big! Deal!)
Just a few months earlier, the former couple even went on a European vacation together, putting their love for their daughter ahead of any awkwardness.
“The Italy trip with [Lea] is fun for everyone,” a source told People. “Lea wants them all to travel together. And Irina and Bradley are friendly and get along. They both want to make Lea happy.”
