It’s A Girl! Charles and Alexandra Leclerc Welcome Their First Child

“Bianca 🤍 3.11.26,” they captioned the post, introducing their daughter to fans and followers.
The announcement comes just months after the couple celebrated their marriage. Charles and Alexandra exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Monaco on February 28, 2026. They subsequently posted clips from the day on social media, showing highlights from the ceremony and their drive away in a vintage Ferrari.
The couple, who were first linked romantically in 2023, announced their engagement in November 2025. Although they opted for an intimate wedding, Charles previously revealed plans for a larger celebration with their closest friends, which they intend to organise at a later date.
News of Alexandra’s pregnancy first emerged in August, when she shared a photograph highlighting her baby bump during a yacht outing. Charles subsequently spoke about the anticipation surrounding their growing family in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, describing the period as an exciting time for them.

In the weeks leading up to Bianca’s arrival, the Ferrari driver also offered glimpses of his preparations for fatherhood. During his birthday celebrations in Tuscany, Italy, last month, he shared a photograph of himself pushing a stroller, joking that his first practice had gone well.
Bianca’s birth comes shortly before the São Paulo Grand Prix, scheduled for November 8. Charles had most recently finished fourth at the Mexico City Grand Prix on November 1. It remains unclear whether Charles will miss any of the scheduled practice sessions ahead of Sunday’s race following his daughter’s arrival.
