Charles Leclerc appears to have married Alexandra Saint Mleux, based on video clips circulating widely on social media showing the couple leaving what looks like a wedding celebration in a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa valued at roughly $12 million.
What The Footage Actually Shows
The clips show Saint Mleux, 23, in a white dress and holding flowers, alongside a man believed to be the 28-year-old Ferrari Formula 1 driver in a white suit. Three motorbikes and a black Mercedes followed behind in what appeared to be a small, low-key convoy. As of publication, neither Leclerc nor Saint Mleux had confirmed the marriage through official channels, and the modest scale of the convoy suggests a private celebration rather than a large public event, even though the sighting quickly spread across motorsport and entertainment circles.
Why This Particular Ferrari
The car chosen for the exit is no ordinary vintage Ferrari. Built in 1957, the 250 Testa Rossa is tightly bound to Ferrari’s golden era of endurance racing and remains one of the most sought-after collector cars in existence, with valuations around $12 million putting it well beyond a simple getaway car. For a Scuderia Ferrari driver currently leading the team’s Formula 1 campaign, it’s a fitting way to mark a major personal milestone — a rolling piece of the exact brand heritage Leclerc represents on track every race weekend.
Leclerc, born in Monte Carlo, has built his entire Formula 1 career around Ferrari and remains one of the most prominent faces representing the brand globally. Choosing a car this closely tied to Ferrari’s competition history for a personal celebration isn’t incidental — it directly links a private milestone to the racing legacy that defines his public career.
A Relationship Kept Mostly Out Of View
This apparent wedding comes just months after Leclerc announced his engagement in November, sharing a series of Instagram photos captioned “Mr and Mrs Leclerc” that included the couple’s dog, Leo, and quickly drew widespread attention from fans. That announcement followed nearly two years of a relationship that had largely stayed out of the spotlight.
Leclerc and Saint Mleux were first linked in early 2023 after being seen together at Paris Fashion Week. Later that year, after Leclerc confirmed he was in a relationship without naming his partner publicly, the couple appeared together at Wimbledon, effectively confirming their status without a formal announcement. Since then, they’ve kept a relatively low profile, showing up selectively at events like June’s Formula 1 movie premiere in New York, where they walked the red carpet together, while otherwise avoiding heavy media exposure.
That discretion stands out given Leclerc’s public profile and reported net worth of roughly $125 million. His previous relationships, with Italian model Giada Gianni and architect Charlotte Sine, both played out with considerably more visibility. The comparatively quiet approach with Saint Mleux, including the lack of official confirmation even after this latest sighting, points to a deliberate effort to keep his personal life separate from his career in the public eye.
Attention Shifts Back To Racing
Whatever the full story behind this sighting, Leclerc’s focus is about to shift back to competition. He finished fifth in last season’s Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship and is aiming for a stronger campaign this year as Ferrari works to return to genuine championship contention, with Leclerc central to that effort. The 2026 season opens with the Australian Grand Prix on March 8, and once preparations ramp up, the conversation will return to lap times, strategy, and championship points.
For now, neither Leclerc nor Saint Mleux has said anything publicly, and speculation continues as the countdown to Melbourne moves forward. Confirmed or not, the images of Leclerc in a $12 million Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa have already marked what looks like a significant personal chapter.
