Rebecca Donaldson makes F1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr.’s heart race.
The driver and Donaldson were first linked in summer 2023, and have been going strong ever since. While they have yet to publicly acknowledge their relationship, fans were quick to speculate that Saniz Jr. was referring to Donaldson during a 2023 interview with fellow F1 driver Charles Leclerc.
When asked who he would want to have a “quickie marriage” with in Las Vegas, Saniz Jr. initially replied that he was unsure. “Whatever I say … It’s a trick question. My current girlfriend, I don’t know,” Sainz Jr. replied.
Prior to her relationship with Sainz Jr., Donaldson was linked to Scott Disick. The pair made their red carpet debut in April 2022 at the premiere for Hulu’s The Kardashians before their split weeks later.

She Is a Model
Donaldson explained that her modeling career began thanks to her mom. “My mum entered me and I was really surprised when I found out,” she told the Daily Record in 2011. “We had to go to rehearsals to practice catwalk type dances before going in front of four judges at the Gardyne Theatre in Dundee.”
At age 17, she won the competition titled Face of 2011. “I am really excited to have won and am really looking forward to entering the Top Model U.K. competition,” Donaldson continued. “My family were all very pleased for me, they were jumping around and stuff!”
Donaldson has since been on several covers including Vogue Portugal, Vogue Ukraine and Elle Spain.
She Is the Founder of Muse Activewear
Donaldson launched Muse Activewear in 2020. The clothing company offers a “diverse collection of comfortable, supportive gym wear that can also be transitioned to be worn in everyday life,” she said in an interview with Vestd in 2021.
“I was spending many days and hours during lockdown feeling a little purposeless. So, I decided to pursue my dream of starting a clothing brand,” she explained. “I knew I wanted to create something that not only I would wear and be proud of putting my name against, but also something that was missing from the market-affordable, good quality products that are also very wearable day-to-day, as I found I struggled to find items that covered all these aspects.”
Some celebs, like Adam Levine, Tom Brady, Paris Hilton, and Matthew McConaughey, have become famous for their storied relationships with high-profile models. Here’s a look at some of the most famous modelizers in showbiz.
She Has ‘Never Had a 9-5 Job’
When asked to share an interesting fact about herself during her interview with Vestd, Donaldson confessed she had “never had a 9-5 job.”
“I’ve part-time worked in that sort of role, however, I’ve only ever lasted around six months,” she explained. “This is probably part of the reason why I decided to start my own business!”
She Knows Who Should Play Her in a Film of Her Life
When asked who she would want to play her in a film of her life, Donaldson told Vestd, “Oh, this one is hard! Maybe Jennifer Lawrence or Scarlett Johansson. I think both are quite fierce yet have a goofy side which I can relate to.”
She Previously Was Linked to Scott Disick
Donaldson was previously linked to Disick, with the former couple walking the red carpet in April 2022 at the premiere for Hulu’s The Kardashians. Less than two months later, E! News reported that Donaldson and Disick had gone their separate ways.
