Opening up about life post-Bradley, Irina admitted she feels like she's on "new ground" following their separation.
She told : "I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst – it’s just the nature of a human being. Two great people don’t have to make a good couple.
"I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other. Life without B is new ground."
The runway star admitted that sometimes being a single parent makes her feel like she's "falling apart" as she tries to balance it all.
"It's hard to find a balance between being a single mom and being a working woman and provider," she added. "Trust me, there are days I wake up and I'm like, 'Oh my god, I don't know what to do, I’m falling apart.'"
In June 2019, the couple after four years together and were amicably share custody of their two-year-old daughter Lea De Seine.
The exes are thought to each have custody 50 per cent of the time and have agreed to base themselves in New York City.
