Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint-Mleux Announce Engagement: Monaco’s Most Romantic Moment Yet

November 3, 2025 No Comments

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.”

For Leclerc, this engagement marks a new chapter in a life already lived at full throttle. Between intense race weekends, Ferrari contract renewals, and championship ambitions, finding time for romance hasn’t been easy. But with Alexandra by his side, fans say he’s found balance — the kind of peace that could even translate into stronger performances on track.

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.

The Truth Behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s Reported Prenup with Fiancée Georgina Rodriguez

August 28, 2025 No Comments

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are officially engaged after nearly a decade together, but the news of their romance milestone has quickly been overshadowed by rumours of a prenuptial agreement. With Ronaldo’s $671 million fortune and Georgina’s rise as a global influencer, the reported contract has set social media abuzz.

A Fairytale Engagement with Business Like Undertones

On August 11, 2025, Georgina confirmed their engagement on Instagram, showing off a diamond sparkler worth an estimated $5 million. Her caption, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives,” had fans swooning. But behind the romance lies practical planning.

Portuguese magazine TV GUIA claims a prenup has been in place since 2017, shortly after the birth of their daughter Alana Martina. According to reports, the agreement ensures Georgina would receive over $114,000 every month for life if the couple ever part ways. She would also reportedly retain ownership of Ronaldo’s Madrid mansion in La Finca, valued at more than $5.6 million.

Why a Prenup Makes Sense for Ronaldo

For Ronaldo, now the highest-paid athlete in the world thanks to his $230 million Al-Nassr contract and lucrative endorsements, such measures aren’t unusual. High-profile athletes and celebrities often take a “business-like” approach to their personal lives to protect vast fortunes while ensuring their partners and children are secure.

This alleged prenup reflects a balance: Ronaldo safeguards his empire, while Georgina is guaranteed stability as the mother of two of his children and stepmother to his three others.

Fans React: Romance or Calculation?

Reactions online have been split. Some fans argue that a prenup is a necessary step given Ronaldo’s global profile, calling it a “smart move” to avoid messy financial battles later. Others, however, see it as a reminder of the transactional side of celebrity relationships, with one X (formerly Twitter) user writing, “Five million ring, million-dollar prenup — feels more like a contract than love.”

Still, many supporters highlight that the couple has weathered nearly ten years together, far longer than most high-profile romances. For them, the prenup doesn’t cheapen the love story but shows the pair are grounded enough to handle the realities of their lifestyle.

A Modern Love Story with Old School Caution

Whether or not the full details of the prenup are true, one fact remains: Ronaldo and Georgina have built a life that blends romance, family, and empire. Their decision — if confirmed — speaks to a cultural shift where even the most glamorous couples acknowledge that love and law often go hand in hand.

For Ronaldo fans, the engagement is a fairytale moment. For Georgina’s followers, it’s another chapter in her remarkable journey from shop assistant to global icon. For both, it’s proof that love stories in the age of billion-dollar fortunes look a little different, but can still be just as real.

Celebrity engagement rings that may cost more than your house

October 21, 2021 No Comments

Recently, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker got down on one knee and popped the question to reality star Kourtney Kardashian. The news has since sent social media (and ex Scott Disick) into a frenzy with many fans gawking at the ginormous ring now sitting on her left finger. The massive diamond engagement piece is reportedly worth $1 million – that’s around R14 million – a price of a luxury house in Camps Bay or West Cliff.

So, just how much are celebrities forking for the rock on their left finger?

1. Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey sure doesn’t like to be outdone, sitting at the top of the list with a 35-carat diamond ring that reportedly cost a whopping R10 million.

2. Beyonce

Well, they don’t call her Queen B for nothing. It’s no surprise that the Lemonade singer has one of the world’s highest-valued diamonds with husband Jay-Z reportedly paying around $5 million for the gorgeous emerald-cut ring back in 2008.

3. Jennifer Lopez

When it comes to sporting some serious engagement bling, Lopez would take up a few spots on this list. However, it’s her engagement to A-Rod back in March 2019 that has placed her firmly on this list. The American baseball star went all out when getting down on one knee, purchasing a 15-20 carat emerald cut ring that was reportedly worth $5 million.

4. Paris Hilton

Remember that time in 2005 when Paris Hilton was engaged to shipping heir Paris Latsis? Not many people do, but the hotel heiress walked away with a diamond ring valued at $4. 7 million at the time, that’s around R58 million.

5. Kim Kardashian

There’s no question that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian don’t do small – go big, or go home is their motto, which was clear to see during the couple‘s epic 2013 proposal. The diamond stunner reportedly cost a cool $4 million but was unfortunately amongst the jewellery stolen during Kim‘s infamous Paris robbery.
