A wave of excitement – and perhaps a few broken hearts – swept across the globe on Monday as Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc revealed his engagement to influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux. The Ferrari star, 28, and Saint Mleux, 23, shared the joyous news via Instagram, posting a series of captivating photos featuring their beloved dachshund, Leo.
A Dazzling Proposal
The images quickly captivated fans, but it was the stunning engagement ring that truly stole the show. Reportedly a 5-6 carat oval-set diamond, the ring is estimated to be worth upwards of $525,000. The proposal itself appeared equally lavish, with Leclerc creating a romantic atmosphere complete with rose petal hearts, candles, and bouquets.
In a particularly heartwarming touch, the couple’s long-haired dachshund, Leo, played a key role, sporting a gold pendant collar that read, “Dad wants to marry you.”
From Paris Fashion Week to Public Romance
Saint Mleux and Leclerc first sparked relationship rumors in March 2023, when observant fans spotted the model in the background of a TikTok video posted by the F1 star during Paris Fashion Week. The connection gained further traction in May when she attended the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of Ferrari.
While initially preferring to keep their relationship private, the couple officially went public at Wimbledon in July 2023. Since then, they have become a regular presence at Formula 1 events, with Saint Mleux’s sophisticated style quickly establishing her as a standout figure within the Formula 1 community.
Beyond the Paddock
Saint Mleux is not solely defined by her association with the world of Formula 1. She also showcases her passion for art curation on a dedicated Instagram page, which has garnered a significant following.
Leclerc’s Past Relationships
Prior to his relationship with Saint Mleux, Leclerc was linked to Italian model Giada Gianna from 2015 to 2019, and later with architect Charlotte Sine, a relationship that concluded in December 2022.
On and Off the Track
The engagement announcement comes on the heels of a competitive showing at the Mexican Grand Prix last week, where Leclerc finished as the runner-up, narrowly missing victory against Lando Norris. The Ferrari driver is set to return to the track next weekend for the Brazilian Grand Prix in São Paulo.
