Irina Shayk is setting the record straight on one rumored relationship.

Just last week, fans were surprised to read in El Mundo that the supermodel "had a relationship" with disgraced FIFA President Sepp Blatter.

In fact, the publication assured readers that Shayk was one of "many lovers" the 79-year-old experienced in his life. But if you ask the supermodel's team about this supposed romance, they say the report is completely false.

"The rumors regarding an alleged romantic and or personal affair with Sepp Blatter by El Mundo newspaper in Spain is a pathetic attempt at defaming Ms. Shayk and are absolutely not true,"

 "We have no intentions of further acknowledging these allegations as they are wholly unfounded."

What is true is the fact that Shayk appears to be getting closer to Bradley Cooper each and every week.

In fact, a source revealed to E! News exclusively that the pair is "exclusive" and "a couple" at this point.

"They have been spending as much time as they can together and getting very close," the insider dished. "All their friends think this is a perfect match!"

As for Blatter, he recently resigned from his position as FIFA president following a corruption scandal that led to seven top officials being arrested in Switzerland. It's safe to say Blatter hasn't been on his A-game.
