F1 star Charles Leclerc married his long-term partner Alexandra Saint Mleux in a private ceremony in Monaco on Saturday.
After the couple were spotted driving around in a vintage 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, with Leclerc in a suit and Saint Mleux in a wedding gown, the Ferrari driver confirmed their marriage in a candid social media post on Monday afternoon.
Alongside a number of videos from the ceremony, Leclerc said on Instagram: “28/02/2026 – Civil Wedding [white love heart emoji].”
In a seperate post, Leclerc added: “A day we’ll forever remember [white love heart emoji]. Part one is done and part 2 will be next year with all of our close ones.”
The couple had announced their engagement in November 2025 and have now tied the knot before the Leclerc begins the new Formula 1 season, which is set to get underway in Australia later this week.
Leclerc and Saint Mleux, who changed her surname on Instagram to ‘Leclerc’ on Sunday, were first spotted together at Wimbledon in July 2023 after rumours around their relationship surfaced in March of that year. Since then, Saint Mleux has become a regular face in the F1 paddock, and she and their dog, Leo, have become fan favourites.
Speaking about the impact Leo has had on his life, Leclerc said previously in an interview with GQ Sports: “He’s my best friend. He’s the best. I bring him to most of the races. Last year, he did get a paddock pass, but he doesn’t need it anymore. People know him more than me. He can still get into the paddock at every race he comes to.”
Saint Mleux’s impact on Leclerc was clear when the Ferrari ace announced their engagement in 2025.
“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.”
The new F1 season is due to begin at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne this weekend.
Leclerc finished the third and final day of pre-season testing in Bahrain last month having completed 135 laps.
“The test day was very smooth, we ran through our programme and tested all the things we planned to,” he said. “In terms of performance, it’s still difficult to understand where we really stand because teams are hiding their true form, so it’s important not to focus too much on lap times and prepare for the first race.
“We will build step by step and try to understand how to extract the maximum from our car, we have a lot of data to analyse before we arrive in Melbourne and we will see how things go once we are there.”
