But before we dive into the minute details of the proposal, we have an important question to pop! Who is Alexandra Saint Mleux beyond Charles Leclerc’s fiancée and girlfriend? There’s more to her than just her pretty face, exceptional taste in fashion, and eye for artistic aesthetics. In this feature, get to know Alexandra Saint Mleux as we decode her career, life, net worth, and more.
Who is Alexandra Malena Saint Mleux? All about her personal life, family background, and more
Shy, demure, and mysterious —these are not just personality traits that define Saint Mleux; they are the best words to describe how private and guarded she is in her personal life. Many assume she comes from a wealthy family, but Saint Mleux has built a strong presence for herself without revealing her family background. Others believe the French social media influencer comes from humble beginnings and has worked her way up the ladder of success.
Born in Calais, France, on 9 June 2001, Alexandra Malena Saint Mleux comes from a multicultural family background. With Swiss-Italian parents and roots in France, the social media star developed an innate love for art and culture. She studied Art History at Ecole du Louvre Alumni de Paris, specialising in 20th-century art, and later created @alexandramalenart, an Instagram page where she shares the lesser-known stories behind famous paintings and artworks. This account became popular and gained a loyal fan base.
Her second profile, @alexandrasaintmleux, also garnered a substantial following. Fans loved her artistic eye and beautifully curated feed that documented her travels, fashion and glamorous lifestyle.
Saint Mleux had established herself as a social media influencer, but as fate would have it, she had yet to brush shoulders with Formula 1 heartthrob and Scuderia Ferrari star Charles Leclerc.
Alexandra Saint Mleux’s first appearance in the F1 paddock, criticism, and more
While very few people actually knew who she was before she started dating Formula 1’s most popular driver, the diva changed this within the span of two years, carving out her identity in the world of fashion and gracing magazine covers.
Saint Mleux first stepped into the F1 paddock back in 2023. There to support Leclerc at the Monaco Grand Prix, her arrival raised quite a few eyebrows, and the paddock buzzed with the question on everyone’s mind: Who is Alexandra Saint Mleux?
As it goes with every popular Formula 1 driver’s partners, Saint Mleux faced harsh criticism and comments from extremist fans, with many describing her as a “gold-digger” or “sugar baby”. Some even dismissed the couple’s relationship as a PR stunt.
But the social media star was ready to face all the blows and slowly won fans over with her kindness and humility. Cut to 2025, fans can be spotted asking for her autograph and clicking selfies, as Leclerc stands back and admires the love she now gets from his supporters.
Just how much has Saint Mleux grown from her initial journey into the world’s most popular motorsport, and how has she capitalised on the opportunity to build her own brand? We dive into her career portfolio and unravel all the power moves the fashionista has made so far.

Saint Mleux has also founded a charity and welfare organisation named Corazones Unidos, which translates to ‘United Hearts’. The foundation supports child education in Mexico, giving them access to quality schooling and the opportunities that come with it.
For the foundation’s first fundraiser, the star partnered with Mexican coffee brand Cafe Society to create a special matcha drinks menu. A percentage of proceeds will go toward educational programmes that empower children and women in the arts across Mexico.
A brief timeline of her relationship with Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc
The couple met at the 2023 Paris Fashion Week, and sparks flew right from the first interaction the duo had. They made their first public appearance together courtside instead of trackside, at the Wimbledon tournament in 2023, where they were accompanied by Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly and his girlfriend, Francisca ‘Kika’ Gomes.
The couple was later spotted at events such as galas and NBA matches. As time went by, the duo decided to move in together and now live in Monaco. They also adopted their beloved dachshund pet dog, Leo Leclerc. Fans soon speculated that Leclerc and Saint Mleux were endgame when the F1 driver referred to his partner as ‘my Alex’ on a race weekend interview.
Leclerc has valued her presence and has made an effort to be by her side whenever he catches a break from on-track action. They attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Milan in 2024 and frequently go on vacations with the Leclerc family. They also recently fulfilled their bridesmaid and groomsman duties for the eldest Leclerc brother, Lorenzo Leclerc, when he married his partner Charlotte Tolotta-Leclerc on 6 June 2025.
Inside the dreamy proposal ceremony: All the key details
Armed with massive red roses and a candlelit heart to pop the question, followed by perfectly piped cookies to give it an aesthetic touch, Leclerc’s proposal was romantic and swoon-worthy.
While he kept the proposal intimate, the F1 driver did not hold back on splurging on the exquisite engagement ring. A statement piece to mark the moment, the internet was quick to decode the cut, clarity and exorbitant price of the jewel.
