Irina Shayk speaks about past gender confusion: “I felt I was supposed to be a boy”

Shayk says she now “love being a woman” after having outgrown her feeling that she was supposed to be born a boy

Newsroom January 29 02:50

 

Irina Shayk, the ex-partner of Bradley Cooper, has revealed she grew up feeling like she was supposed to be a boy.

The 34-year-old model, who has a three-year-old daughter, Lea, with Cooper, made the comments during her cover interview for the March issue of British Vogue.

“I always felt like I was born in the wrong body,” she told the publication. “I felt I was supposed to be a boy.”

She added: “I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because my father always wanted a boy.”

Shayk said she started feeling like this when she was 14, after her father’s sudden death from pneumonia.
