Max Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, drew attention online as she shared images of herself from her recent trip to Italy. On Wednesday, the 37-year-old shared multiple photos from her travels, featuring herself in an all-black outfit.
Kelly Piquet and Max Verstappen have been in a relationship since 2020. They also have a daughter together named Lily, who was born in 2024. Piquet also has another daughter named Penelope from her previous relationship with former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat.
She is also the daughter of 3x F1 world champion Nelson Piquet and hails from Brazil. Piquet is a model by profession and often shares updates from her personal and professional life via her social media accounts.
On Wednesday, Piquet shared a series of images on Instagram that grabbed many fans’ attention. She documented her trip to Milan, Italy, where she attended British singer-songwriter Olivia Dean’s concert.
In the images, Piquet could be seen wearing an all-black outfit featuring a velvet top and baggy pants, paired with matching heels and a handbag, as she credited Brazilian fashion brand NV for the attire.
Kelly Piquet has often been spotted alongside Max Verstappen at multiple F1 race weekends during their nearly six-year-long relationship. Most recently, she was also present at the Miami Grand Prix to support the 4x world champion.
It would not be a surprise if Piquet is also spotted at the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, which is the next round of the 2026 F1 season. Verstappen and Piquet, along with their daughter Lily and Penelope, live in the Principality.
Verstappen is coming off a decent result at the previously concluded Canadian GP, where he finished third to secure his first podium of 2026. The Red Bull Racing driver will be hoping to take this momentum into Monaco, where he has won on two previous occasions.
Max Verstappen shares why he and girlfriend Kelly Piquet have kept their daughter out of the limelight
Max Verstappen has recently spoken about keeping daughter Lily out of the limelight, explaining that he wants her to make the decision for herself once she grows up. The 28-year-old added that he does not bring her to the F1 paddock either, with privacy in mind.
Talking about keeping his daughter away from the spotlight, Verstappen said:
“I don’t want her in the limelight right now. She has to decide for herself later whether she wants that or not. That’s why I don’t want her in the paddock right now. Firstly, because she won’t remember it later anyway, but also with privacy in mind.”
“A baby or young child should lead a carefree life.”
Verstappen also revealed that he now keeps his time away from home as short as possible to spend more time with his family. He also conceded that it will become increasingly harder to leave home as his daughter gets older, as he recalled how he used to hate it when his father, Jos, used to leave and go away to drive in F1 as well.
