The engines are about to roar back to life: the new Formula 1 season kicks off this weekend with the highly anticipated opening race in Melbourne.
But before Charles Leclerc climbs back into the cockpit of his SF-26 for the first free practice session and begins the fight for every thousandth of a second, the Ferrari star has already secured the biggest victory of his life away from the track.
Far from the spotlight and packed with surprise, Leclerc said “I do” to his long-time partner, influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux (now Alexandra Leclerc). On February 28, 2026 — just days before the season opener — the couple quietly tied the knot in Monaco, sealing their marriage in complete secrecy ahead of the new campaign.
Charles Leclerc Shares Message With Fans
Despite keeping both the ceremony and the following celebration strictly private, the newlyweds later appeared on the streets of Monaco, warmly accepting congratulations from passersby. One glance at the photos from the weekend is enough to see just how joyful Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux — now Alexandra Leclerc — were as they celebrated their wedding day.
The couple drove off from their nuptials in a vintage Ferrari car followed by motorbikes for security. In particular, the couple made their departure in spectacular fashion, choosing a rare 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa as their getaway car — a legendary classic estimated to be worth more than $12 million.
On Monday, the fan-favorite driver finally broke his silence, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share an emotional and intriguing message and a couple of pictures with his fans.
“A day we’ll forever remember. Part one is done and part 2 will be next year with all of our close ones,” wrote the Monegasque racing star, sharing the message alongside a series of personal snapshots from the special day.
Among the highlights: charming photos of the couple’s dog, Leo Leclerc, dressed in a tiny suit, joyfully peeking out between Leclerc and his wife, Alexandra. The intimate scenes offered fans a rare glimpse behind the helmet — showing a softer, emotional side of the Ferrari driver following the secret ceremony in Monaco.

But that wasn’t all. Just two hours before the post, Charles Leclerc shared several wedding videos captioned “28/02/2026 – Civil Wedding.”
One clip, presented in a nostalgic retro style, featured a montage of the ceremony’s most emotional moments — from the exchange of vows and the placing of the rings to the couple’s first kiss as newlyweds.
The romantic moments didn’t stop there. On her own Instagram profile, Alexandra Leclerc also shared images and messages guaranteed to make hearts melt. Alongside a series of wedding photos, she wrote: “Dream. Can’t wait to marry you all over again next year x.”
Moments that capture how light and simple life can feel — and ones that are sure to give hope to anyone who still believes in true love.
Starting this weekend, the driver will be back behind the wheel for Scuderia Ferrari — now with a ring on his finger. Yet by his side, as always, are the love of his life and their little Leo, ready to cheer him on both on and off the track.
