Max Verstappen, the F1 champion, is in for a whirlwind of celebrations following a heartwarming family announcement that has set the world abuzz. Despite facing challenges on the track in 2025, trailing behind McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, Verstappen has something monumental to rejoice about off the track. After a somewhat controversial second-place finish at the recent Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, where he was slapped with a contentious penalty, the Dutch racing prodigy expressed his sole desire to head home post-race.
However, it seems that the party is just getting started for Verstappen as his sister, the popular social media influencer Victoria Verstappen, took to Instagram to drop a bombshell. In a joyous post, Victoria revealed her engagement to entrepreneur Tom Heuts, accompanied by a picturesque snapshot in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower. The caption read, “The easiest ‘yes’ ever,” indicating the sheer bliss of the moment.
But that’s not all the good news in store for the Verstappen clan. The four-time Formula 1 world champion is on the brink of fatherhood himself, with his partner Kelly Piquet announcing her pregnancy late last year. Anticipation is high as the couple awaits the arrival of their first child together. Verstappen has embraced his role as a ‘bonus dad’ to Piquet’s daughter, Penelope, from a previous relationship with ex-Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat. Additionally, he revels in his position as an uncle to Victoria’s three little ones.
With Victoria’s upcoming nuptials and the impending arrival of Max and Piquet’s bundle of joy, the Verstappen family is gearing up for a whirlwind of excitement in the months ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on the Verstappen family saga!
