He's officially off the market: Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc announces engagement
There'll be broken hearts all over the world today following the news F1 heartthrob Charles Leclerc is on track to tie the knot with influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux.
The Ferrari star driver, 28, and Saint Mleux, 23, took to Instagram to announce their happy news on Monday, posting a picture-perfect carousel of snaps alongside their beloved pooch Leo.
The series of photos showcased the dazzling rock in question – not that the whopping oval-set diamond was difficult to spot – which is reportedly around 5-6 carats, with an estimated value upwards of $525,000.

Their beloved long-haired dachshund evidently played a central role in the proposal – in one image the pup is seen bedazzled in a gold pendant collar reading "Dad wants to marry you".
Leclerc – who is reportedly worth around $125million – spared no expense, presenting a lavish set-up of rose petal hearts, candles and bouquets for the occasion.
Saint Mleux, meanwhile, was the picture of happiness, glowing in a periwinkle blue silk sheath dress.
The model and influencer was first linked to Leclerc in March of 2023, when eagle-eyed fans caught a glimpse of her in the background of a Tiktok posted of the F1 Star at Paris Fashion Week.

The rumours were further solidified in May, when she was spotted in attendance at the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of Ferrari.
While mostly preferring to keep their relationship low-profile, the couple officially went public after stepping out at Wimbledon in 2023.
Since then, the couple have been a regular fixture at F1 events, with Saint Mleux's effortless elegance in tailored pieces making her a stand-out in the Formula one WAG circuit.

Prior to meeting Saint Mleux, Leclerc was involved in multiple high-profile relationships – most notably with Italian model Giada Gianna from 2015-2019, followed by architect Charlotte Sine, who he called it quits with in December 2022.

Leclerc's announcement comes fresh off a nail-biting stint at the Mexican Grand Prix last week, where Leclerc finished runner-up, falling short of rival Lando Norris.
The driver will return to the fray next weekend, where he'll be back on the track for Ferrari at the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo.
