It's easy to see that Irina Shayk and Kim Kardashian have one thing in common -- their involvement with Kanye West. And apart from that, they do have some similarities.

Both women are wealthy, powerful, and gorgeous. But there's something else tying them to one another, and it created a thread between them long before Kim wound up married to then divorced from Ye, and before Shayk became Kanye's next romantic interest.

Kim Kardashian And Irina Shayk Share A "Type"

Clearly, Kim K and Irina were both interested in Kanye West, which suggests they do have a common "type." But there's more to it than their respective involvements with Ye. They also share a more conventional type, apart from 'troubled musical genius.'

Fans say that Kim and Irina have the same tastes because they've both dated someone who's athletic, crazy rich, and very much in the public eye. Too bad neither lady was able to lock down the superstar athlete long-term!

Both Ladies Dated Cristiano Ronaldo

It turns out that before she dated and welcomed a child with Bradley Cooper (they split in 2019), Irina Shayk dated Cristiano Ronaldo. The couple spent at least six years together, being gorgeous and photogenic (and filthy rich) before Ronaldo announced their breakup.

It didn't seem to have ended well, either; Irina was photographed crying at the airport after their split. For Ronaldo's part, plenty of headlines have speculated that he's long stepped out on his partners, but the rumors have never been confirmed.

And Kim? She dated Cristiano back in 2010, reportedly right before Irina matched with him. Sources say that Kim and Cristiano met after the famous Kardashian traveled to Spain to watch one of his soccer games.

Does Irina Have A Future With Kanye?

So is history repeating itself with Irina Shayk picking up after Kim Kardashian splits from a partner? Based on past interviews, when she's talked about her ideal man -- both post-Cristiano and post-Bradley -- Irina is still looking for someone to build a family with.

While she has one child already, fans have speculated that Shayk is interested in growing her family. But is Kanye the right man to do that with? The pair could just be rebounding, and they have been friends for ages, sources say, so it's all up for debate at this point.

And in terms of Kim's current relationship with Kanye, fans aren't buying that the former couple is 'co-parenting well together,' as Kim claims. Kardashian's explanation for her divorce didn't sit well with online critics.

But apparently, none of Ye's relationship history matters at all to his new romantic interest.
