Shayk and Ratajkowski have been friends for years, being photographed on various occasions together. The two have run in the same modeling circles and once even walked the red carpet together at the Met Gala.

In October of this year, Ratajkowski celebrated the three year anniversary of the announcement of her pregnancy. On Instagram, she shared the same clip, directed by Lena Dunham, and revealed that she wanted the video to live on her Instagram channel permanently. She also wrote a sweet post for her son, Sylvester. “It may seem obvious and cliche to say that time goes fast but in reality it’s very easy to forget to appreciate every second we have. maybe this video will serve as a reminder of that for you today,” she wrote. “Sly—you are more amazing than i ever could have imagined and it has continued to be the greatest experience of my life to watch you discover who you are.”
