Not to be outdone by tennis star Andy Roddick, Portuguese soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend Irina Shayk, is the cover model for the 2011 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, following in the barefoot footsteps of 2010 cover model Brooklyn Decker.
The announcement was made Monday night on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
Shayk has posed for the magazine for the past four years in addition to work with Armani and Guess, but this is the first time on the coveted cover of the annual issue.
The 25-year-old Russian said she was surprised when she was revealed as the cover model during the taping of Letterman.
“There were 10 models to do the Top 10 List, and nobody knows until the last minute who the cover will be,” Shayk said, sticking to her story. “And then I saw it, and I couldn’t believe it.”
Seventeen models, including Brooklyn Decker, Hilary Rhoda, Julie Henderson, Leryn Franco and Jessica White will also be included in the issue. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hits newsstands Tuesday, February 15
