Max Verstappen is ready to embrace his role as a girl dad again. The renowned Formula 1 racer and his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, await the arrival of their first child together. This joyous revelation follows a gender reveal incident during a baby shower on Verstappen’s luxurious yacht, Unleash the Lion. Piquet inadvertently shared the news via social media, sparking excitement among fans who eagerly anticipate the Dutchman welcoming a daughter.
In December, Verstappen and Piquet, daughter of former racing star Nelson Piquet, announced they were expecting a “mini Verstappen-Piquet.” As the months passed, curiosity about the baby’s gender grew. The recent baby shower, attended by close friends aboard Verstappen’s $12.3 million yacht, added momentum to the speculation.
Piquet mistakenly uploaded a post, hinting at a girl, only to delete it moments later. With over 1.8 million Instagram followers, the inadvertent revelation was swiftly noticed by eagle-eyed fans. Numerous enthusiasts expressed their delight and took to social media, referring to Piquet’s accidental post: “I’m so excited to have another girl joining our girl gang.”
The cheerful sentiment was echoed by many, including comments like, “Girl Dad Max Again” and “I’m so glad to have another girl joining.” Such widespread enthusiasm underscores the affection fans have for Verstappen, linking his upcoming fatherhood with the special bond he shares with Penelope, Piquet’s first daughter from her previous relationship with Daniil Kvyat.
Fans have remarked on Verstappen’s connection with Penelope, emphasizing the strong parent-child dynamic despite the absence of a biological link. This bond is cited by admirers as a reason for their excitement about seeing Verstappen as a girl dad once more.
Moreover, some fans pointed out that the secret might not have been so well kept. In February, Piquet was spotted browsing baby girl clothing while shopping in Miami. Some viewers labeled the slip-up as the “worst kept secret,” reaffirming long-standing suspicions.
Now, with the note from the baby shower surfacing, it seems clear: Verstappen and Piquet are welcoming a girl. This event captivates fans and followers, forging deeper connections through shared joy and anticipation. As fans prepare to celebrate this new chapter in Verstappen’s life, the hopes are high for the couple’s future, further strengthening the ties between the racing star and his growing family. The widespread excitement sets a warm stage for their much-anticipated parenting journey.
