F1 star Charles Leclerc and his wife Alexandra have announced the birth of their first child.

The 29-year-old Ferrari star and his wife made the happy reveal on social media on Wednesday lunchtime, announcing to the world the arrival of baby daughter Bianca.

Little Bianca arrived in the world yesterday (Tuesday November 3), and the announcement post came complete with a picture of the baby's legs and feet clad in pink trousers and cream booties.

Charles and Alex married early in 2026

Charles and influencer Alex married in a beautiful ceremony in their home of Monaco in late February, with the F1 star driving his wife in a classic Ferrari - of course.

The couple already had one baby - according to Charles - in the shape of their little dog, Dachsund Leo.

Little Bianca the latest F1 baby

Bianca is the latest baby to arrive into the F1 paddock, with the most recent being Fernando Alonso and partner Melissa Jimenez welcoming son Leonard into the world in March 2026.

Before that, Max Verstappen had also become a dad for the first time after the birth of his daughter Lily with partner Kelly Piquet.

Everyone at GPFans wishes Charles and Alexandra the biggest congratulations, and of course, the biggest F1 welcome to little Bianca!
