Brazilian Model and influencer Kelly Piquet celebrated her fourth anniversary with Formula 1 star Max Verstappen by sharing a sun-drenched photo on social media, showcasing the couple’s vibrant relationship. Piquet, 35, who has been dating the three-time world champion since late 2020, posted a picture of herself in a bikini alongside Verstappen, captioning it, “4 years and countless happy moments.”
The couple’s affectionate milestone comes shortly after they were seen sharing a celebratory kiss at the U.S. Grand Prix in Texas, where Verstappen finished third on the podium. Kelly, the daughter of Brazilian F1 legend Nelson Piquet, is no stranger to the Formula 1 world.
Here are the pictures:
Although born in Germany, she spent much of her early life in France, shaped by her diverse heritage—Brazilian roots from her father and Dutch ties through her mother, Sylvia. She shares a unique connection to the racing world not only through her family but also through her past relationships.
Piquet has a history with F1 drivers!
Before meeting Verstappen, Piquet was romantically linked with Russian driver Daniil Kvyat, with whom she shares a daughter, Penelope. Their relationship, which began in early 2017, ended in December 2019, roughly a year before she and Verstappen went public with their romance in January 2021.
Interestingly, Verstappen replaced Kvyat at Red Bull Racing in 2016, a twist of fate that brought him closer to Kelly a few years later. Verstappen, now at the top of the F1 standings in the 2024 season, leads British driver Lando Norris by a 47-point margin. However, Norris could inch closer, as Verstappen faces a five-place grid penalty for the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix, following Red Bull’s decision to equip his car with a new engine.
