Ferrari star Charles Leclerc has officially taken the next big step off the track. The 28-year-old Formula 1 driver announced on Sunday that he is engaged to his girlfriend, model and influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux.
Leclerc and Saint-Mleux’s romance first came to light in early 2023 after they were spotted together at Paris Fashion Week, sparking widespread speculation. A few months later, in May 2023, Leclerc subtly confirmed he was in a relationship, though he kept his partner’s identity under wraps at the time.

Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux have officially taken their relationship public, and in the most memorable way possible. The pair, who had long kept their romance out of the spotlight, made their relationship Instagram official with a joint post announcing their engagement.
Until now, neither Leclerc nor Alexandra had shared photos of each other on their profiles, making this first-ever collaboration a meaningful and intimate reveal. Alexandra also reposted the announcement on her Instagram Story, featuring a heartwarming photo of the couple.
The 28-year-old has been part of the Formula 1 grid since 2018, joining Ferrari in just his second season. He made an instant impact, securing two wins in his debut year with the Scuderia. Despite a challenging 2020 season that saw Ferrari struggle and Leclerc finish eighth in the standings, he has remained the face of the team’s resurgence and one of the sport’s most talented and charismatic drivers.

The Monegasque driver bounced back in 2022, emerging as a serious title contender and briefly challenging for the Drivers’ Championship before Red Bull’s dominance derailed Ferrari’s hopes. Though the 2023 season brought continued technical frustrations, Leclerc found balance in his personal life, as his relationship with Saint Mleux began to blossom.
The following year delivered a storybook moment: Leclerc’s long-awaited home victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, his first win since their relationship began. He went on to claim two more victories before the season concluded, reaffirming his position among Formula 1’s elite.
Now, as the 2025 F1 season nears its final stretch, Leclerc has already completed 20 race weekends, with Alexandra often seen cheering him on from the paddock. With just four Grands Prix remaining, the Ferrari star is determined to finish the year strong, and perhaps add another win to what has already been a memorable chapter both on and off the track.
