Her divorce from DJ Rukus was made official on Thursday and now Sunday Confidential can reveal the identity of Shanina Shaik’s new boyfriend.
The Australian-born Victoria’s Secret model is dating enigmatic London-based bloke Payam Mirtorabi.
Shaik has been ultra secretive about Mirtorabi’s identity since she began dating him early last year.
She was sighted walking along Woolloomooloo wharf with her new man in December and has since posted a photograph of him covered by a heart emoji to her Instagram stories, referring to him only as ‘P’.
In contrast to Rukus, who has 69.3 thousand Instagram followers and is prolific on the site, not much is known about Mirtorabi, who doesn’t have any social media sites or a presence online.
The relationship kicked off not long after Shaik split from Rukus after one year of marriage.
What Sunday Confidential does know is that Mirtorabi is “super, super wealthy” and spent Christmas in Sydney with Shaik’s family. He is the brother of hotelier Navid Mirtorabi who owns the famous Blakes hotel in London.
The new relationship would explain why Shaik has been spending so much time in London, with Confidential hearing the model is considering moving there from her US base.
Shaik and Ruckus got engaged in late 2015 while vacationing on Lenny Kravitz’s private island.
Their marriage lasted from April 28, 2018, until their split on June 25, 2019.
Shaik cited irreconcilable differences in her divorce documents, and requested spousal support.
