Charles and Alexandra Leclerc welcome their first child

Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc and his wife Alexandra have announced the arrival of their first child, a baby girl named Bianca.

The couple revealed the news in an Instagram post on November 4, a day after Bianca's arrival.

The caption said, “Bianca 🤍 3.11.26”.

The Leclercs got married on February 28 this year in a private civil ceremony in Monaco, with plans for a bigger wedding in 2027. The pair have been together publicly since early 2023.

Rumours of a pregnancy started swirling the Friday of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend when a video emerged of Alexandra arriving at the paddock with a visible bump.

Although the pair never officially announced the pregnancy, Charles confirmed in September on a Live Chat on Ferrari's Threads account that he was going to become a father.

Leclerc joins Fernando Alonso, Nico Hulkenberg, Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen as the fathers among the current F1 grid.
