Charles Leclerc Engaged to Alexandra Saint Mleux – Fans React to $525K Ring
Ferrari’s Formula 1 champion Charles Leclerc has set world buzzing after announcing his engagement to 23-year-old model and influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux. The Monegasque driver shared the romantic news on Instagram with the caption “Mr and Mrs Leclerc,” alongside a carousel of dreamy photos featuring the couple — and their adorable dachshund, Leo.
The post, filled with love and luxury, marked a major milestone in their relationship, which began quietly in early 2023.
The Stunning $525K Diamond Ring Everyone’s Talking About
Fans immediately noticed Saint Mleux’s dazzling engagement ring — a sparkling oval-cut diamond on a platinum pavé band that left social media in awe.
Jewelry expert Laura Taylor from Lorel Diamonds estimated the ring’s value at an eye-popping $525,000, telling Daily Mail:
“Alexandra’s engagement ring features a gorgeous oval cut diamond set on a platinum pavé band. The diamond looks to be around 5 to 6 carats, with a truly bright appearance that suggests it’s of exceptional quality.”
“If the diamond is natural and of exceptional quality, I’d estimate the ring to be worth upwards of $525,000.”
Leclerc, who boasts a net worth of about $125 million, certainly didn’t hold back when choosing the perfect ring for his fiancée.
A Love Story That Started in the Spotlight
Leclerc and Saint Mleux first sparked romance rumors at Paris Fashion Week in March 2023. Months later, they made their relationship public with a joint appearance at Wimbledon, confirming what fans had already suspected — that the F1 star was happily in love again.
Despite their fame, the couple has kept their relationship largely private, sharing only glimpses of their life together. They made a glamorous red carpet appearance in New York earlier this year for the premiere of the new F1 movie.
Leclerc’s previous relationships were more public. He dated Italian model Giada Gianna for four years before splitting in 2019, and later architect Charlotte Sine until December 2022.
“Charlotte and I have decided to end our relationship and we remain good friends,” Leclerc said at the time. “We have shared so many great moments and she is and always will be a very special person to me.”
Now, with Alexandra, the Ferrari driver seems to have found lasting happiness.
Meet Leo – The Couple’s Four-Legged Star
Their miniature long-haired dachshund, Leo, often travels with the couple and has become an F1 paddock favorite.
McLaren driver Alex Albon even joked,
“That dog’s living the life of luxury. I wish I was his dog.”
Leclerc affectionately told GQ,
“He’s my best friend. He’s the best. I bring him to most of the races. Last year, he did get a paddock pass but he doesn’t need it anymore. People know him more than me.”
Leo’s cameo in the engagement photos confirmed that he’s not just part of the family — he’s a celebrity in his own right.
What’s Next for Leclerc and Saint Mleux
While the world gushes over their engagement, Leclerc’s focus is already turning back to racing. The Ferrari star is set to compete in the Brazilian Grand Prix in São Paulo next weekend.
Leclerc recently laughed about how his fiancée has a habit of “borrowing” his wardrobe:
“I always overpack, I just want to make sure I have something for every occasion,” he joked. “She steals my jackets sometimes. But I can’t wear any of hers — they’re way too small.”
Why it matters: The engagement shows how even the fastest man on the track can take time to slow down for love — a perfect blend of romance, fame, and glamour that defines modern celebrity life.
Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux’s engagement has all the makings of a modern love story — passion, elegance, and a sparkling $525K ring. Fans can’t wait to see where this beautiful journey leads next.
