Charles Leclerc’s Engagement Has F1 Fans in Their Feelings
The red of Ferrari turned a little more romantic this week as Charles Leclerc and his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Saint-Mleux, announced their engagement, and social media hasn’t stopped celebrating since.
The 28 year old Monegasque driver, known for his sharp focus on the Formula 1 track, revealed a softer side with a simple, heartfelt post showing the couple smiling as Alexandra flashed her engagement ring. Within hours, the image went viral, with fans and fellow drivers flooding the comments with congratulatory messages and heart emojis.
From Paddocks to Promises
Charles and Alexandra’s love story has been a quiet one, away from the glare of the F1 paddock lights. The pair reportedly began dating in 2022, building their relationship while navigating the whirlwind of Leclerc’s racing schedule and media attention. Alexandra, a model and art student based between Monaco and Paris, has often been spotted supporting him at race weekends — a calm presence amid the high-speed chaos.
According to sources close to the couple, the proposal happened privately, away from cameras and sponsors, in true Leclerc style: elegant, understated, and sincere. Those who know him best say it reflects how he’s always carried himself — humble despite fame, fiercely loyal to those closest to him.

If the rumours are true, the wedding is expected to take place in Monaco, Leclerc’s hometown and the heart of one of F1’s most glamorous circuits. Locals are already calling it “the royal wedding of the Riviera”, and tourism pages have started buzzing about what such an event could mean for the city’s 2025 social calendar.
For Monegasque fans, the engagement feels deeply personal — Leclerc isn’t just a Ferrari star; he’s their homegrown hero, a symbol of pride for a small principality with a big presence in global motorsport.
Social Media Goes Full Heart-Eyes
On X and instagram, fans joked that “Leclerc finally won something off-track,” while others shared memes of Ferrari’s pit crew “preparing the ring like a tire change.” Instagram comment sections were filled with warm messages from other drivers such as Charles’ team mate Lewis Hamilton and former team mate Carlos Sainz and the WAG community that often travels the globe together.
One comment from a fan summed it up perfectly: “He may race for Ferrari, but this victory belongs to Alexandra.”

The wedding date hasn’t been revealed yet, but one thing’s certain: wherever it happens, it’ll be the most anticipated pit stop of Leclerc’s life.
