Congratulations are in order for Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux.
What a way to kick off the week. Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc took to social media to announce the thrilling news. With their darling pet dachshund Leo, the couple posted a series of photos announcing their engagement to the world with the caption: “Mr². & Mrs. Leclerc 💍❤️❤️❤️.”
The photo series continued to show that their son Leo was heavily involved in the proposal. Moreover, the post featured a collection of cakes and roses with doggie treats engraved with “Mom said yes”!
Inside Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux’s proposal:
While the news itself has caused a wave—over 5 million likes on Instagram and counting— the sparkling diamond deserved a moment for itself, too. As quoted by HELLO, an expert has stated that the oval-cut diamond engagement ring is estimated to be 5 to 6 carats and worth upwards of $525,000.
The couple has been fabulously private about their relationship online, but their presence at the F1 paddock, as well as their appearances on the red carpet and at events, did not go unnoticed. Leclerc and Saint Mleux have sparked dating rumours since late 2022, making their first public appearance as a couple at Wimbledon in July 2023. Since then, Alexandra has been by Charles’ side through the F1 The Movie film screening, race weekends, the 76th Red Cross Ball and so much more. Fashion icon Alexandra Saint Mleux is the ultimate It girl. Through her campaigns with Rhode and Meshki, Saint Mleux have grown to be the most-followed F1 WAG on Instagram and for good reasons. From her love for art history to her impeccable fashion style, there’s no denying that her presence is undeniable.
After three years of dating, the couple is all set to take on the next step: husband and wife. It’s rumoured that the grand wedding will take place in Monaco, Charles’s hometown and we look forward to seeing more updates on their fairy-tale wedding.
