F1 Driver Charles Leclerc Welcomes First Child: Daughter Bianca Born Nov. 3, Announcement Post Tops 3.7 Million Likes in Two Hours
Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc and his wife, Alexandra Leclerc, announced in a joint Instagram post on November 4 that their first child, a daughter named Bianca, was born on November 3.
The post shows the newborn's legs and feet in a pair of woolen booties, with a caption that reads only: "Bianca 🤍 3.11.26." According to MotorBiscuit, the post drew more than 3.7 million likes within about two hours, with fellow drivers and teams leaving congratulations.
Leclerc is 29 and Alexandra is 25. The two were first linked in 2023, announced their engagement in November 2025, and married in a small civil ceremony in Monaco on February 28, 2026. On August 12, Alexandra shared a photo of her baby bump on Instagram, announcing that the couple were expecting their first child.
The birth comes in the closing stretch of the season: Leclerc finished fourth at the Mexico City Grand Prix on November 1, and the São Paulo Grand Prix takes place on November 8. According to Crash, Ferrari has confirmed that Leclerc will arrive late in Brazil and skip Thursday's media day after returning home to Monaco to be with his family.
Some reports have linked the name Bianca to Leclerc's godfather Jules Bianchi, who died in 2015 from injuries suffered in a crash. The couple have not explained the name, and the connection remains outside speculation. According to Crash, Leclerc joins Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg as fathers on the current Formula 1 grid.
