Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc and his model girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, have announced their engagement. The Monegasque Formula 1 driver and the Italian model took to Instagram to share images of the engagement. “Mr² & Mrs. Leclerc 💍❤️❤️❤️,” the caption read. The post showed the happy couple celebrating with their dog and the soon-to-be bride’s dazzling diamond ring. Other pictures shared included the scene of the engagement, decorated with rose petals, candles, and cookies that said “She Said Yes.” Friends and family flooded the comments with excitement. Lewis Hamilton, Leclerc’s teammate on Scuderia Ferrari, and former teammate Carlos Sainz congratulated the newly engaged couple. Rumors of the couple’s romance sparked in March 2023, when fans spotted the model in the background of Leclerc’s TikToks. The driver confirmed to Gala France that he was in a relationship during his press tour for the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix. Though not mentioning Mleux by name, she attended the event as the driver’s official guest. They officially debuted their relationship when attending the annual F1 gala dinner with Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco.
