Irina Shayk and Devin Booker finding sparks was likely not on anybody's 2026 bingo card, but here we are. According to a PEOPLE insider, the model and basketball player are dating.

Shayk and Booker first sparked rumors this week when Deuxmoi posted about multiple sightings of them together in the Hamptons. They shared a photo of what happened to Booker leaving lunch and another blurry video of them dancing at a party.
According to the tipster for the popular gossip account, Shayk was "all over him," and he was all over "two other girls as well." Using a confused emoji, they claimed she looked put off when she saw him all over the other girl and that his bodygaurd/friend screamed at someone for taking a photo.

The NBA star and model first sparked dating rumors in April 2020 after they were spotted taking a road trip to Arizona together.
They kept things relatively private before making their relationship Instagram official on Valentine's Day in February 2021.
After two years together, things got complicated. Booker and Jenner briefly split in June 2022, only to be spotted together again soon after. By September, they appeared to be back on, even sharing some rare PDA at the U.S. Open.
They quietly called it quits the following month again, with sources telling People that their demanding careers and schedules played a role in the decision.
Their relationship even found its way into Jenner's next romance. After she began dating Bad Bunny in 2023, fans believed the Puerto Rican superstar took a shot at Booker on the track “Coco Chanel,” rapping in Spanish that the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than the one in Phoenix.

The two largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and made only occasional appearances together throughout their four-year relationship.
In March 2017, they welcomed their daughter, Lea de Seine. Shayk and Cooper eventually split in 2019.
Shayk's on-and-off romance with Tom Brady

The model and retired NFL star reportedly met at Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick's wedding in Italy in May 2023.
In July, they fueled speculation after spending time together in Los Angeles, and the following month, they reportedly stayed at the same London hotel.
Whatever was happening between them didn't last long the first time around. By October 2023, reports said the romance had fizzled after just a few months.
But rumors of a reunion surfaced around the end of 2024, and by February 2025, reports claimed Brady and Shayk had started seeing each other again.
“Tom and Irina have started dating each other again and are open to see where things go,” a source said at the time. Things clearly did not last.
