Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc and his wife, Alexandra Leclerc, who was formerly known as Alexandra Saint Mleux, have announced the birth of their first child. The couple welcomed a baby daughter named Bianca, arriving right in the middle of a heavy racing calendar leading up to the São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos.

Although the newborn arrived on November 3, 2026, the family shared the happy news publicly on Instagram on November 4, 2026. They posted a photograph of the infant's feet accompanied by the simple caption bearing her name and birth date. Charles Leclerc also shared a lighthearted image of himself practicing with a stroller.

The birth followed a notable race weekend at the Mexican Grand Prix. Following the event, the Monegasque driver flew directly to Monaco to be by his wife's side. Ferrari Driver Academy member Dino Beganovic is scheduled to step in for Leclerc during the first free practice session in Brazil to accommodate his travel and family schedule.

The couple previously celebrated their marriage in a private ceremony held in Monaco earlier in February 2026. They subsequently announced to the public that they were expecting their first child in August of the same year.

Leclerc currently holds the fifth position in the drivers' standings and secured a victory at the British Grand Prix earlier in the season. As he prepares to return to the grid in Brazil, the driver balances his competitive career with his new responsibilities as a father.
