10 GIU 2024 · Hello and welcome to the podcast where we discuss the love life of formula one heartthrob, Charles Leclerc. The roar of the crowds faded and the Monaco paddock emptied as Charles Leclerc peeled off his sweat-soaked racing suit. But as the young Ferrari star retreated from the public eye, he looked forward to the company of his girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, who had become his constant companion. Charles had first stepped into the bright spotlight of romance in 2015 when he dated Milanese beauty Giada Giunchi while tearing through the junior formulae. Giada provided a stable, glamorous presence as Charles' stardom bloomed. She was constantly by his side for four years through the giddy celebrations of his Formula 2 championship and his eventual graduation to Formula 1 with Sauber in 2018. However, their high-profile relationship was rocked in 2020 by unconfirmed rumors that Charles had grown close to a renowned Dutch model. Though Charles denied any impropriety, the swirling speculation took a toll. In mid-2021, the once-inseparable couple announced their amicable split, offering few details while insisting their romance had simply run its course. In the wake of the breakup, Charles found himself grudgingly cast as motorsport's most eligible bachelor once again. His boyish charm and photogenic looks instantly triggered feverish speculation about who might be the next woman to claim his heart. A revolving door of speculative romantic links soon followed. One report alleged a brief flirtation with the daughter of a wealthy Mexican businessman. Another claimed he shared a fleeting connection with an American model after meeting at a Miami nightclub during the inaugural Grand Prix weekend. Among those rumored flings was Swiss student Charlotte Siné. The two first grew close in 2021 after being introduced by mutual friends in Monaco's social circles. Photographers soon captured them sharing warmglances and intimate moments around the Principality's haute hotspots, fueling fevered gossip about a new romance. For months, neither Charles nor Charlotte confirmed their relationship status. But by 2022, it was impossible to mask their coupling as Charlotte became an omnipresent fixture in the Ferrari garage. She stood beaming alongside Charles' crew, proudly celebrating each podium finish and hard-fought triumph. Though they primarily kept their love away from the prying lenses of the paparazzi, glimpses of Charlotte's devotion became impossible to miss. She was Charles' consummate cheerleader, offering reassuring hugs after tough losses and reveling in his successes like a longtime partner. However, the relationship proved fleeting as 2023 rolled around. Rumors began circulating in the Monaco gossip channels that Charles and Charlotte had drifted apart, with conflicting accounts as to what catalyzed the split. Some cited the intense pressures of his unrelenting race schedule, while others blamed external family pressures. In any case, Charles was soon linked to a new woman - Alexandra Saint Mleux, an education student from a wealthy Monegasque family. The two had moved in similar social circles for years, allowing a close friendship to blossom long before any romantic sparks ignited. Photographers soon captured Alexandra accompanying Charles to private red carpet events around the Principality in early 2023. Her frequent appearances in the Ferrari garage left no doubt she was the new leading lady in the racing star's life. In contrast to Charlotte's bubbly cheerleader energy, Alexandra has proven a model of understated poise and discretion befitting the sport's reigning bachelor since taking their romance public. She offers subtle reassurances with gestures like squeezing his hand just before he dons his helmet. Her pride is quiet but unmistakable whenever he returns to the garage celebrating another victory. With Alexandra by his side through one of his most successful stretches in Ferrari's scarlet race suits, Charles finally appears to have found a stabilizing partner capable of weathering the intense glare that accompanies his stardom. She keeps him centered without commanding the spotlight for herself. While the persistent rumor mill continues breathlessly attempting to extract details about their compatibility and future plans, those closest to the couple insist they have discovered an ideal balance. Alexandra provides an oasis of calm and support amid the chaotic whirlwind of the Formula 1 calendar. In return, Charles can pour his undivided focus into the driving that remains his absolute life's passion. No matter how feverishly the gossip globes speculated about hidden dalliances and indiscretions over his racing tenure, Charles steadfastly refused to sate that hunger for salacious developments. He long ago embraced maintaining some semblance of privacy around his love life as a matter of preserving his own intimate sanctum. Perhaps that endless mystique, more than anything, is what allowed Charles to maintain his status as one of the world's most eligible bachelors until Alexandra's arrival. In an era of relentless overexposure, he somehow cultivated an aura of unattainable mystique that only amplified his allure. So while Alexandra has undoubtedly tamed the sport's preeminent bachelor, Charles still retains an air of inscrutability that renders him utterly compelling. As far as the world can discern, his most passionate affair remains the powerful Ferrari machines he manhandles around each iconic circuit. Whatever secrets linger around his private romantic dealings are his alone to safeguard.
