Charles Leclerc welcomes first child, daughter Bianca, with wife Alexandra

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has announced the birth of his first child, a daughter named Bianca, with his wife, Alexandra. Leclerc confirmed the news on social media, saying Bianca was born on Tuesday, 3 November. The announcement included a photograph of the newborn's legs and feet.

The 29-year-old Monegasque married Alexandra in a private ceremony in Monaco in February. The couple confirmed in August that they were expecting their first child, having largely kept the pregnancy out of the public eye. During the United States Grand Prix weekend last month, Leclerc said he did not expect to miss a race, though he could adjust his travel to spend more time at home.

The birth comes as Leclerc prepares for this weekend's São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos. He is currently fifth in the drivers' championship, with four rounds remaining in the 2026 season.
