Model Irina Shayk congratulated close friend Riccardo Tisha, the former creative director of Givenchy and Burberry, on his 52nd birthday with revealing photos posted to her Instagram account, which belongs to Meta, a company designated extremist and banned in Russia.
The images showed the pair together. In one, Shayk posed in a transparent dress, jacket and underwear. In another, she appeared topless, covering her chest with her arm.
In her caption, Shayk said she was wishing a happy birthday to someone who had been by her side from the very first days, through laughter and tears, in clear days and stormy ones, and even through rare disagreements, adding that they always found their way back to each other. She said he had made her life much brighter and told him she loved him, calling him "Ri."
Abuse allegation against Tisha
In May 2025, 35-year-old Patrick Cooper accused Tisha of sexualized violence. Cooper said that in June 2024 in New York, Tisha drugged his drink and took advantage of his helpless state.
Tisha's lawyers called the allegations lies and tried to get the case dismissed, but a court rejected the request and allowed the proceedings to continue. Tisha denies all wrongdoing and intends to fight the case in court until he clears his name.
Shayk's recent appearances
In July, Shayk was photographed at a party with reported boyfriend Devin Booker, an NBA player 11 years her junior.
