Summary

  • Formula One driver Charles Leclerc officially married his longtime girlfriend, supermodel Alexandra Saint Mleux, in a ceremony in Monaco
  • The newlyweds celebrated their union in true motorsport style, utilizing an ultra-rare 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa as their getaway car
  • The wedding took place just days before Leclerc is scheduled to hit the track in Australia for the first Grand Prix of the 2026 season

Just days before the kickoff of the 2026 Formula One season, Ferrari racing star Charles Leclerc officially tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, in Monaco.

Following an engagement in November 2025—which was notably announced alongside their beloved dachshund, Leo—the couple celebrated their union with an absolutely jaw-dropping getaway vehicle. Exiting the ceremony in true F1 fashion, Leclerc naturally took the wheel of a classic 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa race car. Powered by a 3.0-liter Tipo 128 Colombo V12 engine, the ultra-rare vintage automobile stole the spotlight, carrying an estimated value of roughly $12 million USD.

A video shared to the couple’s Instagram accounts captured the elegant post-wedding drive, showing Leclerc donning a pale suit alongside his new wife in an elegant lace gown waving her white flower bouquet. Due to the demanding Formula One schedule, the newlyweds will have to temporarily delay any honeymoon plans. Leclerc is scheduled to fly halfway across the world to Australia for the first Grand Prix of the 2026 season, where he hopes to build upon his impressive preseason testing times in Bahrain.

Following the wedding in Monaco, Charles Leclerc and Ferrari are officially gearing up for the kickoff of the 2026 F1 season.
