Formula 1 sensation Max Verstappen has been romantically linked with supermodel Kelly Piquet since the beginning of 2021. The Dutch racing star and the daughter of the former three-time world champion, Nelson Piquet, have been making appearances together in the F1 paddock, officially acknowledging their relationship in January 2021.
Kelly Piquet, nine years Max Verstappen’s senior, first encountered the racing prodigy through her brother, Nelson Jr., during a lively evening in Monaco back in 2016. The couple decided to take their relationship public in 2021, revealing their happiness to the world.
The Marriage Question
When questioned about the prospect of marriage, Max Verstappen remained candid but elusive. In an interview with Blick, he stated, “Get married? Me? Now you’ve publicly pressurized me to say a date! (Laughs) I don’t know, time will tell. At the moment I’m very, very happy with Kelly, but personally, I don’t have a timetable for when I’ll get down on one knee in front of her. It’s all supposed to happen spontaneously.”
