Devin Booker has found himself in the middle of one of the NBA offseason’s loudest off-court stories, and this one has nothing to do with trades, workouts or training camp.
Reports tying the Phoenix Suns star to supermodel Irina Shayk picked up steam after multiple alleged sightings in the Hamptons over the weekend. The chatter started when celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi shared eyewitness reports saying Booker and Shayk were seen together Sunday morning at Tutto Caffè in East Hampton.
The buzz only intensified from there. Additional reports claimed the two later spent time together at Delilah, where a grainy video circulating online appeared to show two people believed to be Booker and Shayk talking inside the packed venue. Another eyewitness account shared through DeuxMoi said the pair appeared close throughout the evening, though it also alleged Booker spent time talking with other women at the party.
Neither Booker nor Shayk has publicly addressed the rumors, and neither has confirmed they are in a relationship.
That silence has only added to the fascination around the story, especially with both names already carrying plenty of celebrity weight. Booker, 29, has been one of the league’s biggest stars since entering the NBA in 2015.
The five-time All-Star has spent his entire career with the Suns and helped lead the team to the 2021 NBA Finals. His relationship with model and reality television star Kendall Jenner also drew heavy attention before they split in 2022.
Shayk, 40, is one of fashion’s most recognizable figures, with countless magazine covers and work for some of the world’s biggest luxury brands. She previously dated actor Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares a daughter, and has also been linked to former NFL quarterback Tom Brady following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen.
The reports landed during one of the Hamptons’ busiest celebrity weekends, when athletes, entertainers and other high-profile figures were out for a string of exclusive summer events across Long Island.
For now, the story remains exactly that: sightings, whispers and a lot of online speculation. Neither Booker nor Shayk has commented, and representatives for neither have confirmed a relationship. But in a summer short on NBA action, this has already become one of the offseason’s most talked-about celebrity storylines.

Jalen Green Still Feels Like Phoenixs Biggest Unsettled Question
Jalen Greens first season in Phoenix has already shown why the Suns were willing to make the move, even if the picture is still incomplete. He brought defensive effort, helped create offense and flashed the kind of versatility that can matter in a lineup built around Devin Booker, but the fit has also come with the usual growing pains of a new system and a player still searching for consistency.
Phoenix has spent most of the year trying to figure out what Green can become when he is fully healthy and fully settled, which is why the conversation around him never really goes away. The Suns are focused on his development and the impact he can have, but the broader league keeps circling, and Green remains one of the more intriguing moving parts in the rosters long-term equation.

Suns Fans Have Seen This Rotation Gamble Go Wrong Before
Luke Kennard arrives in Phoenix with a very specific job description, and Suns fans have seen this sort of bet before. He was brought in to help replace Grayson Allens shooting, which means the appeal is obvious enough: spacing, quick-trigger offense and another perimeter threat to keep defenses honest around the Suns core.
The concern is just as familiar. Kennard has long been viewed as someone opponents can hunt on the other end, and Phoenix is trying to build a roster sturdy enough to cover for that kind of weakness. The hope is that the surrounding pieces can make the fit work, but if the offense gets crowded or the shot isnt carrying its weight, this could turn into the kind of rotation gamble that looks better on paper than it does over a long season.
