Just days before the start of the 2026 Formula 1 season in Melbourne, Charles Leclerc celebrated a milestone off the track by marrying his long-time partner, Alexandra Saint Mleux. The couple held an intimate civil wedding on February 28 in Monaco, choosing to keep the event private ahead of Leclerc’s first race of the year.
