Lando Norris and Margarida Corceiro have become one of motorsport’s most talked-about couples, gaining attention after Norris clinched his maiden Formula One Drivers’ Championship at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. As Norris celebrated his milestone achievement with his family and Corceiro at his side, curiosity grew about how the pair met and the story of Corceiro’s rise in the public eye.
Margarida Corceiro’s Early Life and Start in Entertainment
Margarida Corceiro was born in 2002 in Santarém, Portugal, to Paulo Corceiro and Rita Ferreira. Her early talents in modeling began when she was just ten years old, and she later branched into acting as a teenager. At age seventeen, she secured her first television role, portraying Carolina Atalaia in the Portuguese telenovela “Prisioneira.” The following year, Corceiro appeared on the popular dance competition “Dança com as Estrelas,” which is Portugal’s adaptation of the internationally known “Dancing With The Stars.”
Progression in Career and The Spotlight
After her initial television appearance, Corceiro accumulated roles in several more Portuguese productions, including “Bem me Quer,” “Quero é Viver,” and “Morangos Com Açúcar.” Her leading role in “A Fazenda” reinforced her prominence in the entertainment sector. Beyond acting, her entrepreneurial efforts saw her become a co-owner of the swimwear company MISSUS Swimsuits, and she was subsequently listed in Forbes Portugal’s 30 Under 30. Public interest in her private life grew as she previously dated Portuguese footballer João Félix, who played for Chelsea and Atlético de Madrid, prior to her relationship with Norris.
The Beginnings of Margarida Corceiro and Lando Norris’s Relationship
Margarida Corceiro’s highly publicized split with João Félix in mid-2023 preceded her first public appearance with Lando Norris at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. The pair, reportedly introduced by mutual friends, kept their romance largely private and on-and-off through 2023 and into 2025. Their relationship was officially revealed at the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, around the time of one of Norris’s most celebrated race victories.
“We met a few years ago, but we were never really together until more recently. She’s someone I can very much be myself with. Very down to earth and she lives quite a crazy life as well. It’s nice when we can both just [get] a boat for the day or go home together and chill.”

The Couple’s Status and Influence in Motorsport
The partnership between Lando Norris and Margarida Corceiro continues to captivate Formula One fans and media alike as both enjoy prominent success in their respective careers. Corceiro’s visibility at celebratory events, such as Norris’s championship win, and her steadily growing public profile, has added an additional layer of interest to Norris’s journey as a world champion.

With Lando Norris cementing his place in Formula One history and Margarida Corceiro continuing to expand her influence in entertainment and business, their story is likely to remain a focal point, not just for their fans, but within wider sports and celebrity culture.
