The duo have been engaging each other’s posts for weeks, triggering speculations of a possible relationship between the two.
But neither the Russian model nor the Three Lions star has left any comments on social media to suggest that a relationship might be happening.

Irina Shayk was recently rumoured to have reconciled with her ex, Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares a daughter, Lea De Seine.
The 37-year-old model had been photographed together with Cooper, although neither of them formally confirmed a reunion.

Sources speculate that the duo might have made up with a view to maintaining healthy cordiality for the sake of their child.
Regardless, Loftus-Cheek, 27, who loves to keep his relationship life private, might have opened the door to a possible affair with the gorgeous ex-girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo relationship

According to reports, Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo first met while shooting a campaign for Italian luxury fashion brand Armani Exchange in 2010.
That same year, Shayk and Ronaldo eventually started a relationship.
In June 2010, a few months into Ronaldo’s romance with the Russian supermodel, the Portuguese superstar welcomed his first child, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jr., with an anonymous American woman.

"It is with great joy and emotion that I inform you I have recently become a father to a baby boy," the famous footballer confirmed to BBC at the time. "With the agreement of the mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, I will have exclusive custody of my son."

However, despite this, Shayk and Ronaldo were still together without any known issues.
Five years later, their relationship hit a stumbling block as crisis arose.
Eventually, Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo ended their relationship.

"We can confirm Irina Shayk has ended her relationship to Cristiano Ronaldo," a representative of the model confirmed to Page Six.
Ronaldo also later confirmed the breakup in a statement (via E!), in which he wrote that they "believed it would be best for both of us to take this step now."
Why did Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo break up?
)
Although neither Ronaldo nor Shayk revealed what exactly led to their breakup, different sources suggested that Shayk’s refusal to show up for Ronaldo's mother's 60th birthday party earlier in the year.
This claim was denied by Shayk's camp with Irina herself later hinting at the reason for the split during an interview with Hello Magazine in 2015.
"I love honest men and I love a man who is loyal to women," the Russian model was quoted to have said.
)
A source also confirmed to the outlet that it was indeed Shayk who ended the relationship.
But there were other claims saying that the model was "in shock and completely devastated" by the breakup.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk have since moved on from their relationship, with the Portugal forward now dating Georgina Rodriguez, while the Russian model is currently rumoured to have returned to her ex-boyfriend, actor Bradley Cooper.
