As they celebrate the exciting prospect of becoming parents, Verstappen and Piquet have also hinted at the possibility of tying the knot in the near future, although they have kept many details under wraps.
In a recent interview with Blick, Verstappen briefly addressed the idea of a wedding but remained noncommittal about when it might happen.

Kelly Piquet’s Strong Ties to Formula 1
Kelly Piquet is no stranger to the world of Formula 1, having grown up in a family deeply rooted in the sport. Her father, Nelson Piquet, is a three-time Formula 1 world champion, known for his success during the 1980s. Her brother, Nelson Piquet Jr., also pursued a career in motorsport, competing in Formula 1 before moving on to other racing series. This strong racing heritage has made Kelly a familiar face in the F1 paddock, where she has been a vocal and supportive presence during Max Verstappen’s rise to prominence.
Kelly’s public support for Verstappen has been especially evident during key moments in his career, including when he claimed his first world title in the unforgettable 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The race, which was one of the most dramatic in Formula 1 history, saw Verstappen clinch the championship in a last-lap battle with Lewis Hamilton. Throughout these high-pressure moments, Kelly has been by Max’s side, often attending races with her daughter, Penelope, from her previous relationship with former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat.
A Personal Announcement and Support for Others
In addition to the excitement surrounding their future as parents, Kelly Piquet recently made headlines when she took to social media to share a personal message about her pregnancy. While announcing the news to her followers, Kelly used the opportunity to express empathy for individuals and couples who may be facing challenges in their own journey to parenthood. Her heartfelt post resonated with many and showcased her understanding of the emotions that often accompany pregnancy announcements.
In her emotional message, Piquet wrote, “I understand how these announcements can be challenging for those who are longing for a child. While such news is often a joyous occasion, it can also evoke feelings of sadness, frustration, or longing in those who are struggling with this. If that’s you, I’m sending all my love, my deepest hugs, and magic your way.”
Her words struck a chord with fans, many of whom appreciated her sensitivity and the acknowledgment that pregnancy announcements, while joyful, can be difficult for those experiencing fertility struggles.
