Irina Shayk not affected by others' opinions
Irina Shayk doesn't care about other people's opinions.
The 33-year-old model - who recently split from Bradley Cooper, the father of her two-year-old daughter, Lea de Seine - is never "offended" by any judgement she receives and she's just concentrating on how she wants to live her life, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
She said: "My family and friends and people I love know who I am. You cannot care about people's opinions, you just have to be you and live your life.
"It never affects me what people say, it never offends me. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I rise above it. I am who I am."
Irina is very passionate about her career and insists becoming a parent didn't change her drive for success and independence.
She told Stella magazine: "Becoming a mother didn't change anything. I am still me.
"I prioritise my time but I love my job and I love to be independent. I am not saving lives, I'm not a doctor, but I enjoy what I do and it gives me lots of opportunities.
"I don't think I will ever just be sat at home, I need motivation, stimulation."
And Irina credits her parents, coal miner Valery - who died when she was 14 - and music teacher Olga, for her strong work ethic.
She said: "I learnt about working hard from my parents. We had a garden and we had to work it every day. We didn't have a cleaner, we didn't have anyone. We didn't even have a washer and dryer, we did everything by hand. There was no way I could just lay on the sofa and relax."
Even to this day, the brunette beauty gets a lot of satisfaction from doing laundry.
She said: "I really love doing the laundry. I could do it every hour; putting it in, getting it out. But when I'm not working I lay in bed, watch Russian TV, FaceTime with my sister, talk to my friends..."
