Charles Leclerc on His Nervous Proposal and Romantic First Date

1 / 6

Charles Leclerc admits that even F1’s high stakes couldn’t prepare him for popping the question. He shared on a recent Italian podcast how he went speechless when proposing to long-time partner Alexandra Saint Mleux. The Ferrari star said he speaks on TV every day, but lost all his words when asking Alexandra to marry him. The couple later celebrated with a private civil ceremony, arriving in a rare 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa as their getaway car. Leclerc and Alexandra grew up knowing each other in Monaco, but their first official date in Paris felt like a dream. Both food lovers, they chose an Italian restaurant for sushi and pasta. He laughs that he might have been too in love to recall exactly what they ordered. Alexandra, once an art history student and now a fashion icon, has been by Leclerc’s side through every race weekend. He remains focused on his quest for a maiden championship this season.
