Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc and his wife, Alexandra Leclerc, have welcomed their first child together, as Motorsport.com reports. The couple announced the new arrival on social media following a private Monaco wedding ceremony in February 2026. Sharing an image of the newborn's legs and feet dressed in pink knitted leggings and white socks, the post revealed the baby's name and birth date with the caption, “Bianca. 3.11.26.”
Following a fourth-place finish at the Mexican Grand Prix, Leclerc traveled home to Monaco ahead of the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix weekend. Ahead of the arrival, the Monegasque driver spoke about impending fatherhood in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, calling the experience "very, very special" and noting that he was "just really looking forward to it."
Welcome to the world, Bianca! Huge congratulations to you all.
Leclerc also mentioned their dog during the conversation, explaining, "We already have one son in Leo, because we already consider him as a son, and it will be great to become a parent for a second time." When discussing life away from the circuit, the 29-year-old emphasized the importance of his personal relationships. "Spending time with my wife, with Leo, with my family and my friends. This is probably the number one thing I try and do whenever I’ve got free time, because it’s not so often that we get it," he said.
He detailed how he manages his schedule, adding, "The balance is very natural in itself, because the priority remains all the on-track activity and whatever makes me better as a driver and what we can do better as a team. Then, whatever is left, I spend it on the projects I enjoy."
The announcement prompted numerous well-wishes from across the Formula 1 community. Former team-mate Carlos Sainz posted, "So happy for you. Welcome to the world Bianca," while McLaren driver Oscar Piastri wrote, "Congrats to you both!" The Ferrari F1 team also shared their congratulations, commenting, "Huge congratulations to you both!! Wonderful news," and Mercedes added, "Welcome to the world, Bianca! Huge congratulations to you all."
