F1 star Charles Leclerc welcomes first child with influencer wife Alexandra
Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc is a dad, after his wife Alexandra Leclerc gave birth to their first child, a girl.
The influencer mum shared a photo of the newborn’s feet wrapped in light pink booties as she lay on a white blanket, in a joint post not only announcing their daughter’s arrival but revealing her name.

Bianca Leclerc was born on Monday, November 3, they said. No further details about their daughter’s arrival were given.
The Ferrari driver raced back to his home in Monaco straight after Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix to attend the birth.
Speaking late last month about how impending fatherhood may alter his upcoming race schedule, Leclerc said he wasn’t expecting to end his season early.
“I don’t think I’ll miss a race, but obviously I’ll do absolutely everything to be at home as much as possible in between those races,” Leclerc said at the US Grand Prix.

"So, I might arrive a little bit late. But I will be doing the races on Sunday."
