Charles Leclerc announces engagement to Alexandra Saint Mleux
Ferrari star Charles Leclerc has announced his engagement to model and influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux, delighting fans with a romantic series of photos shared on Instagram, reports BritPanorama.
The 28-year-old Monegasque driver posted the images on Sunday with the caption “Mr and Mrs Leclerc,” confirming the news to his millions of followers. The pictures featured the couple’s beloved dachshund, Leo, who has garnered attention among Formula One fans.
Leclerc and Saint Mleux, 23, have been together since early 2023 after first being spotted side by side at Paris Fashion Week in March that year. They made their public debut as a couple at Wimbledon a few months later, shortly after Leclerc acknowledged his new relationship.
The couple’s engagement follows a whirlwind 18 months of dating, with reports indicating the Ferrari ace spared no expense on the dazzling ring. A glance at Leclerc’s financial status—estimated at around $125 million—suggests he is well-equipped to indulge in such romantic gestures. The driver has previously had two long-term relationships, including a four-year romance with Italian model Giada Gianni and a three-year relationship with architect Charlotte Sine, which ended in December 2022.
In a prior statement regarding his breakup with Sine, Leclerc noted that they remained close despite their separation. Saint Mleux, who has a background in art history, tends to keep her personal life under wraps, although she has made several public appearances alongside Leclerc, including a noteworthy presence at the premiere of an upcoming Formula One movie in New York.
Leclerc has often expressed affection for his fiancée, sharing in interviews his jovial experiences living together. He recently commented on her habit of borrowing from his wardrobe, reflecting on the often humorous dynamics of their relationship. Their pet Leo, frequently accompanying the couple to races, has become something of a fixture in the F1 paddock.
As Leclerc prepares to return to competitive racing at the Brazilian Grand Prix in São Paulo this weekend, his engagement has added another layer of excitement to his already impressive 2025 campaign.
In the world of high-speed thrills and glamour, Leclerc’s engagement reminds us that while the racing may be intense, the human stories behind the drivers often hold a charm all their own.
