A few days ago, Ralf Schumacher made his new relationship public. Now he posted a photo that shows him having a great time surrounded by friends and family.
“The best thing in life is when you have the right partner by your side with whom you can share everything,” wrote Ralf Schumacher on Instagram a week ago. The former Formula 1 racing driver shared a photo showing himself with his friend Etienne.
With this post, Ralf Schumacher put an end to his game of hide-and-seek. The two men had been in a secret relationship for two years. Now the 49-year-old not only made his love public, but also celebrated his coming out with the post. His partner also shared the post in his Instagram story at the time.
Now the two have once again given a private insight into their relationship. On Tuesday, Ralf Schumacher posted a photo showing himself with Etienne in Cologne – surrounded by friends and family. His son David Schumacher is also beaming at the camera in the photo. Also sitting at the table with them are Schumacher’s Sky commentator colleague Peter Hardenacke and Ralf Marhencke, the owner of the “Poisson” restaurant, where the group was a guest.
“A great evening at Poisson Cologne,” wrote the 49-year-old. His partner had previously shared a similar snapshot in which he posed between Schumacher and Marhencke.
In contrast to Ralf Schumacher, Etienne is not in the public eye. Not much is known about the friend of the former Formula 1 driver. On his Instagram profile he reveals that he is French and lives in the South of France and South Africa. He is also mostly seen doing sports and traveling.
Ralf Schumacher received a lot of support for his coming out. His son David also commented on the post and wrote: “I’m very happy that you’ve finally found someone with whom you can really tell that you feel very comfortable and safe, regardless of whether they’re a man or a woman, I’m 100 percent behind you, Dad, and wish you all the best and congratulations.”
