In a heartwarming end to a remarkable year, New Zealand's Formula E racing sensation Nick Cassidy has publicly confirmed his relationship with professional model Nathalia Soliani. The driver took to Instagram to share a personal photo dump from 2025, prominently featuring Soliani, which she warmly acknowledged, putting all speculation to rest.
A Magical Season and a Personal Revelation
Nick Cassidy is coming off a phenomenal Season 11 in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, where he finished as the championship runner-up. His stellar performance was highlighted by an impressive streak of three back-to-back race victories. Following this successful campaign, Cassidy made a significant career move, parting ways with Jaguar TCS Racing to join the new entrant, Citroen Racing.
His personal life took a public turn when his year-end Instagram post showcased his girlfriend, Nathalia Soliani. Alongside the romantic pictures, Cassidy wrote, "I don’t usually post much private life these days, here’s the 2025 side not shown. Don’t judge! Very thankful and appreciative of the life we are given and work for. 2nd in the World Championship and lots of life memories to be cherished." Soliani's comment, "What a year," sealed the confirmation.
Warm Wishes from the Racing World
The post garnered attention and likes from several big names in motorsport. Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen showed his appreciation, along with fellow Formula E drivers like Maximilian Gunther and Antonio Felix da Costa. Gunther's rumoured girlfriend, Anaju Dorigon, also joined the comment section, adding a playful note about Cassidy's dog. Fans flooded the post with supportive messages, wishing the couple well for 2026.
Soliani, a professional model, was a frequent presence at race tracks supporting Cassidy throughout the previous season. Her Instagram is followed by Cassidy's close circle in the Formula E paddock, including Gunther and da Costa, indicating her integration into his professional world.
Impressive Debut with New Team Citroen Racing
On the professional front, Nick Cassidy has already begun his new chapter with Citroen Racing on a high note. At his debut for the team at the Sao Paulo E-Prix in December, he secured a podium finish by taking third place in Round 1.
Reflecting on the achievement, Cassidy stated, "This result is awesome for everyone at Citroen Racing. It’s been a big off-season, and it was not an easy day... I’m very happy for everyone to start this way with a podium." He praised the team's strategy and communication, calling it a fantastic start for Citroen in the Formula E championship.
The driver now sets his sights on the next challenge, with Round 2 of the season scheduled to take place in Mexico City on January 10. With a strong personal support system now publicly in his corner and a promising start with his new team, Cassidy's 2026 campaign is one to watch closely.
