Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has shared heartfelt words about his fiancee Alexandra Saint Mleux, following their engagement announcement earlier this month. 

The Monegasque driver, who has been dating the art historian and model since 2023, spoke about their relationship ahead of the Brazilian GP, revealing just how much Alexandra means to him both personally and professionally. 

She’s an Essential Part of My Life

Leclerc confirmed that the couple had officially gotten engaged, saying it felt like the “right moment” in their journey together.

“I’m very happy to have announced that Alex and I are officially engaged. She is an essential part of my life and I think it was the right moment,” Leclerc shared

Since first being spotted together in 2023, Leclerc and Saint Mleux have become one of F1's most admired couples. Alexandra, who has a background in art history from L’Ecole du Louvre, has been a constant presence in Leclerc’s career, often seen supporting him in the Ferrari garage on race weekends.

The Perfect Celebration: A Podium in Interlagos

While many newly engaged couples might plan a getaway or a private dinner, Leclerc has his eyes on a different kind of celebration. 

“What would I like to do to celebrate it? To finish on the podium in Interlagos,” he said with a smile.

The Ferrari driver is determined to end the season on a high, and a top-three finish in Brazil would be a fitting way to mark such a milestone. For Leclerc, personal and professional achievements have always gone hand-in-hand, and this moment is no exception. 

A Partnership That Goes Beyond Racing

Leclerc also spoke candidly about Alexandra’s influence on his mindset and motivation, describing her as a grounding force amid the chaos of F1. 

“Alex is the closest person that I have, with my family. And they live the career just like we do,” he said. “Alex has done that since the very first day I met her. She’s definitely a very important part of my life, obviously, but also of my career.”

His words reflect the deep bond the pair share, a partnership that extends far beyond the paddock. Fans have praised the couple for their genuine connection and the quiet strength Alexandra brings to Leclerc’s journey. 

A New Chapter for Ferrari’s Star Driver

As Leclerc continues to balance life on and off the track, his engagement marks the beginning of a new chapter. Between the intensity of F1 and the calm of his personal life, Leclerc seems to have found balance, and someone who truly understands the demands of his world. 

With his sights set on a podium finish in Brazil, the Ferrari driver now has even more motivation to deliver a strong result, not just for the team, but for the woman who’s been by his side since the very beginning.
