One less bachelor: Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc secretly weds in Monaco

Formula 1 star and Scuderia Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has married his beloved Alexandra Saint Mleux. The couple held an intimate civil ceremony in Monaco on February 28, 2026.

The first images from the celebration quickly went viral on social media. Despite the absence of an official statement from the newlyweds, videos and photos have all but confirmed: Leclerc and Saint Mleux are now husband and wife. The ceremony was a private affair. According to pulsesports, guests were prohibited from posting photos on social networks, and official professional pictures are expected to be released later.

After the ceremony, the couple made a stunning public appearance behind the wheel of a legendary 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa—one of the rarest and most valuable cars in automotive history. This choice was a symbolic nod to the Monegasque’s career with Ferrari. Original versions of the model, featuring the iconic "pontoon fenders," are valued at auction between $34 and $40 million.

Leclerc and Saint Mleux’s relationship began in the spring of 2023. In May of that year, Leclerc cautiously confirmed that he was no longer single, and by summer, the couple made their first public appearance together—spotted in the stands at Wimbledon.
