Charles Leclerc announced his engagement.

      Charles Leclerc announced to the whole wide world his engagement to Alexandra Sen-Mlyo, whom he has been dating since 2023, and Formula 1 has already congratulated him on this important event — also via social media. The Ferrari driver shared several romantic photos, and, apparently, the couple are certain of their feelings and the next stage of this story is not far off. How else to interpret such a short caption to the series of shots: “Mr and Mrs Leclerc.” It was accompanied by several telling emojis — a diamond ring and red hearts.

      The couple first appeared in public in the summer of 2023 at the Wimbledon tennis tournament, and we reported on it. Since then Alexandra has become a frequent guest in the paddock, attracting the attention of the public and, of course, photographers. She is 23 years old, she is from France, although her father is Swiss and her mother Italian.

      Alexandra received a higher education in art in Paris at the École du Louvre, she is interested in art history, but at the same time she has made a name for herself in the world of fashion — it’s enough to say that several million people follow her fashion-focused social media pages.

      Of course, Charles was congratulated on the engagement by his friends and rivals — Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz were among the first. Congratulations also came from his team Ferrari, and naturally from Alpine, for which his old friend Pierre Gasly races, as well as from journalists at the Sky Sports F1 television channel. There is even a touching message from the fictional team APXGP, which features in the widely talked-about film F1 The Movie.

      Naturally, Leclerc’s post about the engagement immediately gathered millions of views and likes, which is logical, since Charles is not only an excellent driver and one of the most popular figures in the paddock, but also simply a charming guy.
