Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc exchanged vows with his long-term partner, Alexandra Saint Mleux, in a private ceremony held in Monaco on Saturday, February 28th.
Speculation surrounding their union began when the couple was seen cruising through Monaco in a classic 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, with the Monegasque driver sporting a light-colored suit and Saint Mleux in a wedding gown. Confirmation swiftly followed as Saint Mleux officially updated her Instagram name to Alexandra Leclerc, signalling their marriage.
Having announced their engagement in November 2025, the pair has now officially gotten married ahead of the Ferrari driver’s commitments for the upcoming 2026 Formula 1 season.
The newly wedded couple was first publicly seen together at Wimbledon in July 2023, following initial whispers of their relationship emerging in March of the same year. Since then, Saint Mleux has become a familiar presence in the F1 paddock, alongside their beloved dog, Leo, both having endeared themselves to fans.
In a past interview with GQ Sports, Leclerc affectionately spoke about Leo: “He is truly my best friend. He’s exceptional. I take him to most races. Last year, he even had his own paddock pass, but now he’s so well-known he doesn’t even need it. People recognise him more than me; he gets into the paddock at every race he attends.”
The 2026 F1 season is scheduled to commence with the Australian Grand Prix, taking place at Melbourne’s Albert Park from March 6th to 8th.

Leclerc concluded the third and final day of pre-season testing, having completed an impressive 135 laps. He commented on the session, stating: “The testing period went very smoothly; we successfully executed our planned program and evaluated all our intended elements. Regarding performance, it remains challenging to gauge our true position since teams typically conceal their full potential. Therefore, it’s crucial not to overly concentrate on lap times but rather to prepare diligently for the inaugural race.”
He added, “Our approach will be to develop incrementally and strive to maximise our car’s capabilities. We have extensive data to analyse before heading to Melbourne, and we’ll assess our progress once we’re there.”
