Kelly Piquet shared a kiss with Max Verstappen following his United States Grand Prix, prompting speculation that the pair might be pregnant in 2024. Moreover, users claim Piquest might be expecting twins with the F1 driver.
The duo started dating in 2020 after meeting for the first time four years earlier. They shared a romantic picture on Instagram during New Year’s Day, and Verstappen wished his partner all the best in success, love, and happiness.
However, they received public backlash for their relationship as the F1 driver is nine years younger than his partner. But, Piquet was unfazed by such comments as she congratulated Verstappen during his first F1 championship win and described it as unforgettable.

Further, Piquet has been with Verstappen since then, tackling several rumors about their relationship. One of the frequent speculations is about their plans to get married and have children.
Recently, news surfaced on Twitter that she might be expecting a child. One user wrote, “Kelly Piquet is 8 weeks pregnant with twins, and Max is the father!” The tweet gained over 276k impressions on the platform, as many added to the speculations.
Similarly, the unconfirmed statement quickly turned into a joke, and fans claimed that it was the fourth time Piquet had been rumored to be pregnant in 2024. Others sarcastically added that neither Piquest nor Verstappen knew about the situation.
Additionally, Piquet’s latest Instagram story fueled the speculation as he posted, “You can literally fell when it’s time to move into your life’s next chapter.” Regardless, Piquest and Verstappen haven’t confirmed whether they plan to start a family.
Kelly Piquet comes from an F1 family and has a daughter from a previous relationship with Daniil Kvyat!
Born in Homburg, Germany, Piquest is the daughter of Nelson Piquet, a Brazilian racing driver and three-time Formula One World Champion. After completing her major in International Relations, she became responsible for Formula E’s social media coverage.
Moreover, she was previously linked to Russian Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat and welcomed their daughter, Penelope, in July 2019. However, the pair ended their relationship the following year for undisclosed reasons.
While Piquet was struggling as a single mother and had recently broken up, she crossed paths with Verstappen, and the pair often shared pictures through Instagram. Despite initial hesitance, the F1 driver has adjusted to life with his stepdaughter.
During an interview with Time, Verstappen talked about his relationship with Piquet’s daughter, “It’s always very important that she has a good relationship with her own father, which she has. But I see her every day when I’m at home. We get on very well.“
Despite being with Verstappen for over four years, Piquet hasn’t revealed her plans to tie the knot. Moreover, she revealed that she wants to create a charity project for children before settling in, as she previously volunteered in Tanzania.
On the other hand, the F1 driver wants his future children to inherit his racing skills but wants to approach the topic differently from how his father, ex-driver Jos Verstappen, dealt with it. Verstappen also mentioned that he would retire from the tracks to dedicate his time to teaching his children.
He added, “In any case, I’m not going to push my kids to race. They have to want it themselves. You have to start laying the foundation from the age of four. I want to be there myself.“
