Model Irina Shayk Says She Still Believes in Marriage After Split With Bradley Cooper

Model Irina Shayk is defending the institution of marriage in a new interview about her life as a single mom, this after splitting with Bradley Cooper.

Irina sat down with Harper's Bazaar to discuss all things in her life, including being a new mother and her work life.

She discussed the topic of marriage, saying, "Do I believe in marriage? Yes, of course. I'm not the kind of person who is against it."

After the recent split with Bradley Cooper, she is also giving some advice to prospective new suitors who are interested in the beautiful model. The writer put it like this: "I do, however, have intel for prospective suitors: don’t try and slide into her DMs (she won’t read them anyway), avoid text and email, and if possible, put pen to paper the old fashioned way."

She clarified her stance on dating and what type of person she is looking for, “Every time people send me flowers, I'm like, just send me a tomato plant! ... Nobody's sending letters to anyone anymore. I really believe if you go for dinner with somebody, you don't have to send them a text or keep them updated on Instagram message. You freaking pick up the phone, call and say, 'Let's have dinner.'"

Bradley and Irina share a 2-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, and the couple split earlier this year.

And as far as advice for working mothers out there, she is clear about how everyone should be free to express themselves, saying, “Tell me one reason why, just because you're a mother, you need to wear a longer skirt. No! I don't believe in that. I really don't ... How is it that people think of this idea? Why should you have to change who you are and how you feel just because you become a mother? I'm like, tell me why. Tell me one reason! I don't believe in that. I don't understand why.”

Sounds like these two will great parents and Irina has the mothering thing down perfectly.
