Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc continues to make headlines as he gears up for the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix. Last weekend, the Ferrari driver became the talk of the town after claiming a second-place podium finish at the 2025 Mexico City GP. Moreover, he recently announced his engagement to his long-time girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux. Ever since then, interest in his personal life has peaked even further among the F1 fans. As he gears up for the upcoming race at Interlagos in São Paulo this weekend, here is a closer look at the man behind the helmet. Full Name, Age, Height, Nationality, and Ethnicity Charles Marc Herve Perceval Leclerc was born on 16 October 1997 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. At the time of writing, the Ferrari driver is 28 years old. He holds Monegasque nationality and is one of the very few drivers from the Principality on the Formula 1 grid. Ethnically, he is of White European (Monegasque/French) heritage. The Ferrari driver stands tall at 1.8 Meters, or approximately 5 feet 10 inches. Charles Leclerc: Fiancé & Dating History Leclerc has largely kept his personal life out of the spotlight, but he made headlines after confirming his relationship with influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux. The couple went public in mid-2023. On 2 November 2025, Leclerc announced his engagement to Alexandra via Instagram, prompting congratulatory messages from F1 stars, including Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, and Oscar Piastri. His then-girlfriend, now fiancée (born 9 June 2001), studied at the École du Louvre in Paris. Additionally, she has built a distinctive digital presence through fashion and art-focused content on Instagram and TikTok, garnering over 3 million followers. Meanwhile, there is confusion around her exact ethnicity. Mleux comes from a multicultural background, with her father reported to be of either Swiss or French-Argentine descent and her mother Italian. Currently residing in Monaco with Charles Leclerc, her birthplace remains a mystery. While Motorsport lists France, IMDb mentions Cancun, Mexico. Nonetheless, Alexandra Saint Mleux is widely regarded as having French, Mexican, and Italian heritage. According to the US desk of Live Mint, her last reported net worth is estimated at around $2 million; however, exact figures remain unknown. Before Alexandra, Leclerc had been in a relationship with Monegasque architect and influencer Charlotte Siné from approximately 2019 to late 2022. His first public relationship was with model Giada Gianni, whom he dated from 2015 to 2019. Family Background: Parents & Siblings His father, Herve Leclerc, was a racing driver who competed in European Formula 3 during the 1980s and 1990s. He passed away in June 2017 after a long illness. Meanwhile, his mother, Pascale Leclerc, is a former hairdresser who ran a salon in Fontvieille, Monaco. The 28-year-old is the middle child in the Leclerc family. His older brother is Lorenzo Leclerc, and his younger brother is Arthur Leclerc, who is also pursuing a racing career. Charles Leclerc: Net Worth & Salary As of 2025, Leclerc’s net worth is estimated at around $125 million, thanks to his Ferrari salary, bonuses, endorsements, and off-track ventures, as per RacingNews365. Meanwhile, other outlets like Celebrity Net Worth place it more conservatively at around $50 million, illustrating the variance in reporting. According to Spotrac, Leclerc’s salary at Scuderia Ferrari is reported to be over $136M ($34M annually in his five-year contract). Personal Interests & Public Persona Leclerc’s journey from a family with deep racing roots to becoming one of Formula 1’s most recognized drivers has shaped his identity as both a top racer and a global brand. As the only Monegasque driver on the 2025 F1 grid, Leclerc’s nationality and heritage are a point of unique identity in the sport. Off track, he has interests in architecture, music (he plays piano and guitar), fashion, and real estate investment. With his substantial earnings and rising status, understanding Leclerc’s personal life helps contextualise his broader appeal in Formula 1, fashion, and luxury markets. His engagement announcement and lifestyle milestones amplify that image.
