Completely under the radar, Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc and his partner Alexandra Saint Mleux quietly said “I do” on February 28, 2026, in Monaco.
The stunning bride has already changed her Instagram name to “Alexandra Leclerc.”
But Alexandra isn’t just the wife of a Formula 1 ace — she’s also an art historian, fashion muse, and dog mum, whose eye-catching race weekend looks have made her a well-known figure throughout the paddock.
And with her, Charles Leclerc has probably already won his biggest race, namely the race for love.
Here’s everything you need to know about Alexandra Leclerc.
1. In Love, Engaged, Married
Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux (now Alexandra Leclerc) have been a couple since early 2023. Their relationship became public after several joint appearances, including a summer outing at Wimbledon 2023.
Then, on Sunday, November 2, in an Instagram post that has already racked up over 7.8 million likes, Charles Leclerc officially announced his engagement to longtime partner Alexandra Saint Mleux.
On February 28, 2026, the high-profile couple quietly tied the knot in Monaco.
2. Alexandra Has French and Mexican Roots
Alexandra was born in 2001 in Calais, France, and carries both French and Mexican heritage.
She studied Art History at the renowned École du Louvre, focusing on 20th-century art and exploring the works of icons like Pablo Picasso, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, and Henri Matisse.
Before her relationship with Charles Leclerc brought her into the Formula 1 limelight, she maintained a low-key online presence, occasionally sharing glimpses of her life and travels while pursuing her studies in Paris.
3. Charles and Alexandra Leclerc Have a Dog
The story of this glamorous couple wouldn’t be complete without their mischievous dog, Leo Leclerc. The little dachshund has become a star in his own right, with fans even creating Instagram accounts dedicated to him.
Leo joined the couple in April 2024 and has since become a familiar sight both around the paddock and on social media.
Whether dashing through the paddock on race weekends or lounging at home, he’s very much part of the family—and even had a small role in Charles’ proposal!
4. Alexandra is an Influencer
With 3.4 million followers on Instagram, Alexandra is far from a micro-influencer, and nearly 2 million people follow her on TikTok.
She shares a mix of content—from makeup and baking tutorials to behind-the-scenes glimpses of her globe-trotting adventures.
On top of that, she runs a second Instagram account dedicated to her passion for art.
5. Alexandra is Charles’ Biggest Supporter
Since they got together, Alexandra has been a constant presence at nearly every Formula 1 race.
In May 2024, she cheered on Charles Leclerc at both the Miami Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix, where he finished third and first, respectively. After the Monaco race, the couple joined Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco at the annual F1 gala dinner.
She was also there in September to witness Leclerc’s victory at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix—this time with their beloved dachshund, Leo, cheering him on as well. Since then, Alexandra and Leo have become fixtures of the paddock, a beloved and familiar sight at every race weekend.
