it’s hard to imagine that Tom Brady, Kanye West and Bradley Cooper have much in common, other than that each is a rich and famous man who has enjoyed success at the top of his respective profession.But it turns out that all three men share an affinity for a supermodel: Irina Shayk. In fact, the 37-year-old Russian beauty could stand at the center of a Venn diagram made up of circles that represent each of the three men’s lives.Cooper, the Academy Award-nominated actor and director, was in a serious enough relationship with Shayk for five years that they had a daughter together.  West, the troubled rapper and fashion designer with avowed white supremacist sympathies, briefly hooked up with the supermodel in the summer of 2021, according to reports, shortly after his high-profile split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen attends the 2019 Hollywood For Science Gala at Private Residence on February 21, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
