Max Verstappen is one of the biggest Formula 1 stars in the world, but off the track, his heart belongs to Kelly Piquet.
The duo started dating in 2020 after meeting for the first time four years earlier. While the pair are nine years apart in age, they have plenty in common, racing-wise: they both come from F1 families.
Max is the son of Jos Verstappen, who was an F1 racer from 1994 to 2003. Kelly, meanwhile, is the daughter of Nelson Piquet, a three-time F1 champion from Brazil. Her brother Nelson Piquet Jr. is also a race car driver who formerly competed in F1 and Formula E.
Before she began dating Max, Kelly was in a relationship with F1 driver Daniil Kvyat from 2017 to 2019. The former couple welcomed daughter Penelope in July 2019. In December 2022, Kelly told Vogue Netherlands that she “would like to have more children.” Max told Dutch newspaper De Limburger that same month that he “definitely” wants little ones of his own.
