F1 WAGs 2026: Who's Married, Engaged & Dating

The 2026 Formula 1 grid has more married men than any previous season in the sport’s modern era. Charles Leclerc married Alexandra Saint Mleux in Monaco on 28 February 2026. George Russell and Carmen Mundt have been engaged since 2023. Valtteri Bottas and Pierre Gasly both married in the three years before 2026. Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet are raising a daughter. The paddock in 2026 looks less like a bachelor circuit and more like a wedding directory.

By Matt Ward, Editor at Weddings Hub. I have covered UK and European celebrity weddings since 2018, including the Formula 1 paddock’s domestic life for the past three seasons. Sources include Monaco Tribune, Monaco Life, the drivers’ verified social media accounts, Hello!, ESPN F1 and Formula1.com. This page is updated after each race weekend.

Formula 1 is the highest-profile sport in the world right now. A 24-race calendar. Netflix documentaries. Fashion week crossovers. The paddock’s domestic lives have never attracted more UK attention. In 2026, the story isn’t just who is fastest on track. It is also who got married, who got engaged and whose relationship survived 24 rounds of international travel. Below is the full tracker.

Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux — married February 2026

Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux are the headline F1 couple of 2026. The Ferrari driver, 25, and the Italian-born art historian, 24, married on 28 February 2026 at the Mairie de Monaco. The ceremony was strictly family and close friends. No serving F1 drivers were publicly confirmed in attendance.

Alexandra wore a Paolo Sebastian French Chantilly lace mermaid gown. Charles wore a cashmere Brunello Cucinelli suit in eggshell white. The couple drove away from the ceremony in a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, a car with a collector value of approximately £9 million.

A second celebration is planned for 2027. Charles wrote on Instagram that “part 2 will be next year with all of our close ones,” signalling a larger party with the wider F1 paddock circle. Alexandra is an École du Louvre alumna who worked at the Hôtel des Ventes de Monte-Carlo auction house before becoming one of the most-followed F1 partners in the sport.

George Russell and Carmen Mundt — engaged since 2023

George Russell, 28, and Carmen Mundt, 25, announced their engagement in summer 2023. The couple met when Russell was racing for Williams. Carmen is a Spanish-born communications professional and has appeared at every race weekend since their relationship became public in 2022.

No wedding date has been officially announced. The couple posted an engagement photo showing a round brilliant diamond in a classic claw setting. Industry estimates put the ring at approximately 3 to 4 carats. Carmen’s fashion choices at grand prix weekends are consistently tracked by UK fashion and celebrity outlets; she was ranked among the top five most-followed F1 partners in 2025.

Russell is contracted to Mercedes. His race schedule runs from March to November. The 2026 season leaves limited windows for a wedding ceremony. Paddock insiders have mentioned late 2026 or spring 2027 as the likely timing, though nothing is confirmed.

Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet — together, with daughter Lily

Max Verstappen, 28, and Kelly Piquet, 36, have been together since 2020. Kelly is the daughter of Brazilian three-time F1 world champion Nelson Piquet and is a model and entrepreneur in her own right. The couple have a daughter, Lily, born in May 2023.

Verstappen and Piquet have not announced an engagement or wedding date. Max has said in interviews that he does not feel pressure to marry because “a ring doesn’t change how you feel about someone.” Kelly is a regular presence at grands prix in Europe and in Brazil, where her family connections to the sport give her access that goes back decades.

She is also the sister of former Formula 2 driver Pedro Piquet. The cross-generational motorsport connection has given the Verstappen-Piquet partnership a very different public dynamic from the newer couples on the paddock.

Pierre Gasly and Kika Cerqueira Gomes — married 2024

Pierre Gasly, 28, married Kika Cerqueira Gomes in 2024. The ceremony took place in Portugal, where Kika’s family is based. Kika is a Portuguese-born model and social media figure with a following of more than 1.5 million on Instagram. She wore a Zuhair Murad couture gown: an off-shoulder design with structured bodice and fluid silk skirt.

Gasly and Kika first appeared together publicly in 2022. They made the relationship official on Instagram in early 2023, and the engagement followed later that year. The wedding in 2024 was attended by several F1 drivers and team personnel, though specific names were not publicly confirmed by the couple.

Gasly races for Alpine in 2026. He and Kika divide their time between Paris, Monaco and Lisbon.

Valtteri Bottas and Tiffany Cromwell — married September 2023

Valtteri Bottas, 36, and Tiffany Cromwell, 35, married in Melbourne, Australia in September 2023. The wedding took place at a private vineyard in the Yarra Valley, outside the city where Tiffany has competed as a professional road cyclist for most of her career.

Tiffany Cromwell rides for AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step. She and Bottas met through their shared world of professional sport; he has spoken about how her athlete’s schedule gives her an unusual understanding of the demands of F1. The couple documented parts of the wedding on social media. Tiffany wore a sleek column dress in ivory silk. Bottas wore a dark navy suit.

Bottas now races in endurance sport rather than F1, having left the grid after 2023. He and Tiffany maintain homes in Melbourne and Europe.

Lando Norris — private as of May 2026

Lando Norris, 26, keeps his personal life away from public view. He was publicly linked to Luisa Oliveira during 2022 and 2023. No relationship has been confirmed since. Norris has said in several podcast appearances that he prefers to keep his off-track life separate from his racing profile.

His social media output focuses on gaming, McLaren content and race-weekend coverage. No engagement, relationship or personal announcement has been made as of May 2026.

Lewis Hamilton — private and focused on Ferrari debut

Lewis Hamilton, 41, is in his first season at Scuderia Ferrari in 2026 after his high-profile move from Mercedes. His personal life has been consistently private. Past reported relationships include actress Nicole Scherzinger (ended 2015) and actress Nicki Minaj (brief and unconfirmed). No current relationship has been announced.

Hamilton has spoken about his preference for solitude and creative work outside racing. He collaborates with fashion designers, attends the Met Gala and the Oscars, and maintains friendships across entertainment. But he has not introduced a public partner at a race weekend for several years.

Carlos Sainz — private

Carlos Sainz, 31, moved to Williams for 2025 after his departure from Ferrari. His personal life is guarded. He has not made any engagement or wedding announcements as of May 2026.

Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin 2026

Fernando Alonso, 44, continues to race for Aston Martin. He has not made any personal relationship announcement public in the 2026 season.

What does the 2026 paddock tell us about celebrity weddings?

The F1 paddock in 2026 is a useful snapshot of how high-earning professionals in their late twenties handle relationships under global scrutiny. Four drivers are married. One is engaged. Several maintain private relationships. The pattern broadly matches UK data from the Hitched 2026 report: the average age at first marriage for men in England and Wales is now 32.4 years. Most F1 drivers are marrying at 25 to 28, slightly below that national average.

It also shows a shift away from the model-only dating stereotype. Alexandra Saint Mleux is an art historian and auction-house professional. Tiffany Cromwell is a professional athlete. Carmen Mundt is a communications professional. The era of drivers exclusively dating fashion models is changing, and the 2026 grid reflects that.

For UK couples inspired by F1 wedding aesthetics, our wedding colour schemes guide covers the monochrome palettes and Italian-summer tones that define the Leclerc-Saint Mleux look. Our groom suit guide breaks down how to get the Brunello Cucinelli look at UK price points.
