Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet shared a touching Christmas moment, with the F1 champion’s hand resting on his pregnant girlfriend’s belly in their latest holiday photo.
The couple, who recently announced they’re expecting their first child together, posted the intimate snapshot as part of their Christmas celebrations.
“Merry Christmas,” Verstappen wrote alongside the festive photo.
Kelly, a Brazilian model, had already gotten into the holiday spirit by sharing several photos of their blended family, including shots with her daughter Penelope.
It’s been an exciting few weeks for the couple. They first broke their pregnancy news during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, adding another celebration to Verstappen’s incredible F1 season.
While this will be Verstappen’s first biological child, he’s already embraced family life. The three-time world champion has been playing “bonus dad” to Penelope, who lives with the couple in their Monaco home.
The timing couldn’t be better for the growing family. Verstappen just wrapped up his most dominant F1 season yet, and now he’s getting ready for his biggest challenge yet – fatherhood.
Kelly and Penelope have been fixtures at many of Max’s races, and now they’re all looking forward to welcoming their newest cheerleader to the family.
