Cristiano Ronaldo’s Supermodel Ex Sends Heartfelt Wish to “Fav” Lewis Hamilton on His 39th Birthday

Another year, another birthday, same reception! Lewis Hamilton celebrated his 39th birthday on the 7th of January and the wishes poured in from friends and family on social media from across the world. Among those many, we have a surprise name on the list. Perhaps not as surprising, considering the lives the Mercedes man has touched since his rise to stardom.

His list of friends includes various a-list celebrities from the world of sports, movies, and fashion, especially with his inclination toward it. So when Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex was among the many wishing Hamilton on his birthday, it perhaps wasn’t as surprising. After all, she has done so in the past as well.

Supermodel Irina Shayk, who is rumored to be dating NFL legend Tom Brady, celebrated her birthday a day before Hamilton’s on the 6th. Despite being caught up in her birthday celebrations, the Russian model did not forget to wish her “fav” fellow Capricorn friend on his birthday.

Shayk posted two stories with Hamilton to wish him and both of them tell us how close the two are. She captioned the first, “Happiest bday to my fav Capricorn @lewishamilton It goes wayyy back! You make everyone around you feel so special including me!”

In the second she wanted to post a more recent photo and wish him again with a subtle nod to his greatness: “1 not from 100 years ago:)…
Bday 🐐 @lewishamilton 🎂🎂🎂”

There is a lot of love between Shayk and Hamilton as the two have known each other for quite some time now. They have been photographed enough times to spark dating rumors as well. However, it was another Russian model who not only ghosted Cristiano Ronaldo but also talked about her relationship with the Brit.

The Russian model in question is Viktoria Odintcova. She talked about her relationship with Hamilton in an interview back in 2020 where she revealed how the two met back in Barcelona in 2016 after his breakup with Nicole Scherzinger and what trajectory their relationship took, eventually.

She revealed, “We had different types of relationship. At a certain period of time, it was romantic. He was courting me.” 

She then revealed how their relationship took a more friendly trajectory: “But then, this relationship evolved into friendship. Now we’re friends, we just write to each other and call sometimes. He’s in the friend zone.”

Her reception wasn’t as warm and welcoming toward Ronaldo who apparently slid into her Instagram DMs before getting into a relationship with his current girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez. Odintcova revealed she ghosted Ronaldo as she does with many other athletes. “I often receive messages from professional athletes, especially from European footballers. I don’t even open them.”

However, we cannot imagine Odintcova and Hamilton sharing the same relationship he has with Shayk. The two are getting closer by the year and her stories are plenty of proof.
