May 3, 2025 – Monaco
Celebrations are in full swing as Formula 1 star Max Verstappen and his partner Kelly Piquet have officially welcomed a beautiful new addition to their family — a baby girl named Lily. The couple shared the heartwarming news on Saturday morning, and fans across the globe have been showering them with love and congratulations.
According to sources close to the family, both mother and baby are doing exceptionally well. Lily was born in Monaco, where the couple resides, and early reports suggest the newborn arrived healthy and full of energy — much like her racing champion father.
The announcement was made on social media, where Max posted a touching message alongside a photo of Lily’s tiny hand wrapped around his finger. “Our little girl is here. Welcome to the world, Lily. You’ve already made our hearts fuller than we could have imagined,” the message read. Kelly followed up with her own post, calling Lily “our perfect little miracle” and expressing her gratitude for a safe and peaceful delivery.
The birth of Lily marks an exciting new chapter in the couple’s lives. Max, a three-time Formula 1 World Champion, and Kelly, a model and the daughter of former F1 driver Nelson Piquet, have been together for several years and are one of the most high-profile couples in the motorsport world. Their love story has captured the hearts of many fans, and the arrival of baby Lily only adds to their beautiful journey.
Fellow drivers, teams, and fans wasted no time in extending their congratulations. Red Bull Racing shared a special message saying, “The Red Bull family is growing! Congrats to Max and Kelly on the arrival of baby Lily — we can’t wait to meet her!” Tributes also poured in from across the paddock, with drivers like Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris sending warm wishes to the happy family.
As the F1 season continues, Verstappen is expected to take a short break to enjoy some family time before returning to the grid. For now, Max and Kelly are simply soaking in the joy of their new role as parents, cherishing every moment with their precious daughter, Lily.
