Sky Sports F1’s Naomi Schiff has welcomed her first child into the world, sharing the happy news on Instagram this week.
Schiff and husband Alexandre Dedieu became parents to baby boy Raphaël on October 8.
The racing world has been quick to shower the new parents with congratulations. The couple tied the knot just last September.
“Raphaël Schiff-Dedieu – born October 8th 2025,” Schiff wrote in her heartfelt announcement.
“My little boy, in so little time you have completely changed my world,” she continued. “You’ve given me this role I always knew I wanted, but never knew I’d love this deeply.”
The new mom shared the first photos of herself with Raphaël alongside her emotional message.
“I can’t wait to watch you discover the world, to help you feel brave, to lift you when you fall, and to remind you every day just how deeply you’re loved,” she added. “Thank you for making me your mom. Ilysm.”
The post quickly filled with well-wishes from racing’s biggest names.
2009 F1 World Champion Jenson Button, who just announced his retirement from motorsport this week, commented: “congratulations guys.”
Susie Wolff chimed in with an excited “congratulations!!!” while fellow Sky Sports F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham wrote: “Absolute perfection. The world needs more posts like this. Love you guys.”
Former F1TV presenter Will Buxton added: “So many congratulations x.”
Schiff, a former W Series driver herself, has been a fan favorite on Sky Sports F1 since joining the broadcast team in 2022.
She’s been absent from our screens for several months during her pregnancy. There’s no word yet on when she’ll return to the broadcast booth.
