The 30-year-old Russian model said there was time in her life when she wished to be man, but the thought of being with another woman never excited her, reported E! online.
"No way. I'm Russian: I'm into men, diamonds and caviar," Shayk said.
The model also opened up about her childhood.
"I was born and raised in a small village, and I didn't even think I was especially pretty. At 14, I'd have given my left arm to be a boy: I thought I was horrible, and that no-one would ever find me attractive."
"I was 20, and I had nothing to wear and nothing to eat. I remember how embarrassed I felt in front of the other models because of how I was dressed.
