“Everyone looks at it differently,” she said in an interview with HarpersBazaar.com. “Do I believe in marriage? Yes, of course. I'm not the kind of person who is against it.”
But the former Victoria's Secret model has a little warning for potential suitors.
"Every time people send me flowers, I'm like, just send me a tomato plant!” she laughed. “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.’”
However, Irina— who shares two-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine with Bradley— is in no rush to find another partner, and her childhood in Russia taught her how strong she can be.
"Women are the ones who can handle everything," she said of her home country. "Women can raise the kids, women can do the job, and when she's back, she can cook and clean and do the heavy work too!"
"We never had men around," Shayk continued. "You have to learn how to put a nail in the wall, how to hang the curtains. I know everything about how to plant potatoes and cucumbers because in Russia, it's how you survive the winter."
Since working very closely with Lady Gaga on the hit film A Star is Born, Bradley and Irina's relationship has been called into question. Last month, a source close to the former pair opened up about their tumultuous relationship, revealing they were trying to make it work for the sake of their daughter.
“Because of their daughter, they keep trying,” a source close to the former couple of five years told Page Six, adding, “Things are not good. Neither one is happy. The relationship is hanging by a thread.”
The devastating news comes months after fans went into a frenzy over Bradley and Lady Gaga's insane chemistry during their highly emotional performance at the Oscars in February. Although she's since refuted rumours she's dating her former co-star, an insider claimed the only woman helping Bradley through this emotional time is the "Bad Romance" singer.

"He goes to Gaga for advice over everything, which is pretty insensitive at a time like this but Bradley can’t help himself,” the insider told Radar Online.
The source added: “He’s just totally spellbound by her and thinks she’s the wisest, coolest and most worldly person on the planet. Gaga’s in a tough spot because she doesn’t want to rub Irina’s nose in it. But still, she does adore Bradley so she’s happy to take his calls."
