Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc and his girlfriend Alexandra Saint-Mleux were spotted at an event, where the latter wore eye-catching earrings. Considered one of the most handsome drivers on the grid, the Monagasque has many brands in his kitty as sponsors.
Brands like Ray-Ban, Puma, Richard Mille, EA Sports, etc. have the 26-year-old as their global ambassador. Since his debut in the sport in 2018, Leclerc has dated Giada Gianni and Charlotte Sine in the past as well, before meeting Saint-Mleux in 2023.
Charles Leclerc and Saint-Mleux are one of the most popular couples in the F1 paddock and the duo are often accompanied by their dog, Leo, on the race weekends. Recently, the pair were spotted at an event in Monaco with the Ferrari driver looking dapper in a navy blue tuxedo.
Saint-Mleux stole the show as she was seen wearing Ferrari Prancing Horse earrings at the event. The charcoal earrings are part of the brand's official collection and cost around $380. They are also available with polished ruthenium or matt black finish.
The 26-year-old is often guarded about his personal life and does not delve into details regarding his life away from the sport. However, he shares glimpses of his private life with friends and family on social media.
Charles Leclerc gives his take on being a famous F1 driver
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc stated that he could not complain about being famous but admitted that it does come with some drawbacks.
Speaking with Motorsport Italy, the Monagasque spoke about maintaining the balance between personal and professional life and said:
"I certainly can’t complain about the position I’m in, I’m the luckiest person in the world. It’s also true that this role has its drawbacks, if they had told me about it ten years ago I would never have believed it, but at the beginning, you don’t realize what the lack of private life means. In the first years of Formula 1, you appreciate everything that happens around you, you live every situation as a sort of recognition of the work you’ve done."
"Then as the years go by you realize that you don’t have that much time to dedicate to your loved ones, and above all you would like that time to be private, sometimes you dream of being able to live those moments like an ordinary person. When I’m at the house of friends I’ve known since I was 12, no one cares who I am in life, but these moments are increasingly rare," he added.
On the track, Charles Leclerc has proved his mettle with the 2024 season turning out to be a special one for him given his victories in Monaco and Monza. He currently sits P3 in the driver's standings with 245 points, and six races and three Sprints remaining.
