A young dad

Belgian Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen and his girlfriend Kelly, daughter of three-time racing champion Nelson Piquet, are expecting a baby.

The couple shared the joyful news on social media, posting a black-and-white photo of Max placing his hand on the rounded belly of the 35-year-old model.

«We couldn’t be happier as we await our little miracle», — the couple captioned the image.

It is known that the couple has been together for about four years. For the 27-year-old Verstappen, this will be his first child, while for Kelly, it will be her second. The model is already raising a 5-year-old daughter from her previous relationship with Russian driver Daniil Kvyat.
