LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Irina Shayk is trying to do everything possible to protect her ongoing romantic affair with Tom Brady. According to the sources of Page Six, the Russian supermodel is so desperate to make the developing relationship work that she is isolating herself and cutting ties with her friends to avoid any future embarrassment.
The new couple was photographed on July 24 looking close and intimate in the car amid a weekend-long date at Brady’s Los Angeles pad. The duo also enjoyed a recent dinner date at Sushi Azabu in Tribeca on July 28, described as “private and ensconced" by a spy.
