Charles Leclerc announces engagement to partner Alexandra Saint Mleux

Charles Leclerc has announced his engagement to long-time partner Alexandra Saint Mleux, with the Monegasque confirming the news to his social media followers over the weekend.

Leclerc took to Instagram on Sunday night to share photos of the couple holding their much-loved pet dog, Leo, alongside the caption “Mr². & Mrs. Leclerc” plus a ring emoji and several heart emojis, while Saint Mleux modelled a new ring.

While Leclerc did not share details of the proposal, the photos also show a dog tag for Leo featuring the words “Dad wants to marry you!”, as well as pictures of the celebrations including a display of red petals designed in a heart shape surrounded by candles.

The couple, who have been together since 2023, received plenty of well-wishes from the F1 community, with Leclerc’s fellow Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton commenting on the post: “Congratulations to you both”

Former team mate Carlos Sainz simply wrote “Yesssss”, while others including Oscar Piastri and Esteban Ocon also sent messages to congratulate Leclerc and Saint Mleux.

The news comes during what has seemingly been a positive few weeks for Leclerc both on and off the track, with the 28-year-old recently claiming back-to-back podiums in Austin and Mexico.

A newly-engaged Leclerc will be hoping to extend this run of form when F1 heads to Brazil for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on the weekend of November 7-9.
