Tom Brady’s ex-girlfriend, Irina Shayk, is the daughter of Valery Shaykhlislamov, a coal miner from Volga Tatar.
An iconic quarterback, Tom Brady, recently gifted his son, Benjamin, a costly watch.
The moment was seen as a touching and warm interaction between father and son that went viral on social media.
In a video, Brady gave his son a watch worth $3 million called the Jacob & Co. Billionaire Mini Ashoka, an ultra-rare timepiece.
It features over 100 carats of diamonds and is one of only 18 in the world.
Brady praised his son while holding the luxury watch in a velvet-lined box. He said,
“Benjamin’s worked hard, he’s grown into an incredible young man. He deserves it.”

Born on January 6, 1986, in Yemanzhelinsk, Russian SFSR, USSR, Irina Shayk shared a close bond with her mother, Olga Shaykhlislamova, and her father, Valery Shaykhlislamov.
Her father, Valery, was a Volga Tatar and served as a coal miner.
She has stated that she inherited her looks from her father and that people often mistake her for being South American, saying, “My father was dark skinned, because he was Tatar; sometimes Tatars can look Brazilian.
During an interview with Elle, published on November 8, 2023, she opened up about her childhood and he relationship with her parents. She said,
“My dad had always wanted to have a boy,” “He loved us, but when he died, I kind of felt like: ‘I have to take care of the family.”
