Irina Shayk stands by her man

Andy Gray | Apr 15, 2013

SI Swimsuit Model Irina Shayk avoided major controversy while attending a MTV party in Greece over the weekend when a pesky reporter held up the jersey of FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi and asked her to cut it. Irina, who is dating Messi's rival Cristiano Ronaldo, refused to take the bait but did let the reporter know what she looks for in a man.

For me, it's very important for a man to be a man. Men should really know how to follow the women, buy beautiful flowers, of course. Russian women love to get a really nice treatment. And men should be very educated  intelligent and have a great sense of humor.

So before you go to your local florist to purchase a nice treatment for Irina, check out this gallery of the Russian supermodel.
