Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux Officially Tie the Knot in Private Ceremony
In a long-awaited confirmation, Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc has officially married his fiancée, Alexandra Saint Mleux, this past weekend. The couple, who had kept details of their wedding under wraps, finally acknowledged their union after a post-wedding video of them driving in a vintage red Ferrari in Monaco went viral across social media platforms.
Social Media Confirmation and Playful References
Alexandra Saint Mleux took the lead in confirming the marriage by changing her Instagram handle to Alexandra Leclerc early on Sunday. She further shared an Instagram Story that cleverly referenced their now-famous car ride. The story featured a GIF from the animated film Stuart Little 2, showing the characters Stuart Little and Margalo driving in a tiny red car—a playful nod to the couple's own drive in a red Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa after exchanging vows.
Interestingly, Charles Leclerc has yet to post any wedding pictures or make an official announcement on his own social media accounts. This contrast highlights the couple's approach to sharing their personal milestones, with Alexandra taking a more public step to acknowledge their new status.
Timing and Privacy of the Wedding
The wedding ceremony was intentionally kept private, with Leclerc choosing to marry between the third Bahrain test and the start of the 2026 Formula 1 season. The new season kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 8, under updated regulations. This timing allowed the Ferrari driver to focus on his career commitments while celebrating this significant personal event away from the public eye.
Leclerc's Heartfelt Words About Alexandra
In a previous interview with Athlon Sports after their engagement, Leclerc expressed his joy and the importance of Alexandra in his life. "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," he said.
He elaborated on her support for his racing career, stating, "Alex is the closest person that I have, with my family. And they live the career just like we do. 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."
Shared Moments and Family Integration
The couple's bond is evident in their shared experiences. Alexandra accompanied Leclerc to Bahrain recently, with the driver sharing affectionate pictures from their chartered flight on Instagram. Their dog, Leo, also joined them on this trip and was part of Leclerc's proposal in November last year, adding a personal touch to their journey.
Furthermore, Alexandra has been integrated into Leclerc's family life, having attended his brother Lorenzo's wedding last year, where she even served as a bridesmaid. This involvement underscores the deep connection she has with Leclerc's inner circle.
The marriage confirmation comes after weeks of speculation fueled by the viral video, finally putting rumors to rest and marking a new chapter for the couple as they navigate both personal happiness and professional demands in the high-stakes world of Formula 1.
