Alexandra Saint-Mleux is becoming somewhat of a social media queen for F1 fans! As the girlfriend of Charles Leclerc, she has already captured hearts by supporting him at almost every Grand Prix. When the Ferrari racer got his first-ever home race victory in Monaco this year, Alex stood there, looking like the proud girlfriend that she is! And whenever Leclerc gets a respite from racing, the young couple makes sure to hit all the romantic spots (such as Taylor Swift’s Eras tour concert in Italy) to show off some PDA.

In the caption of her post, Alexandra Saint Mleux even wrote, “Spending summer with your sister-in-law means too many pictures will be taken.” Soon, the fans found out that the mystery lady sitting beside Alex and Leo on the yacht was Dr. Charlotte Di Pietro. She is a dentist and the wife of Charles’ elder brother Lorenzo. Putting two and two together, everyone concluded that Alex was calling Charles’ brother’s wife her “sister-in-law.”

So, every speculation on Charles and Alexandra’s engagement started off. But the 21-year-old was quick to curb the rumors. She highlighted a comment by one of her fans who said, “UNDERSTAND, in some countries, they are called brother-in-law to the girlfriend of your boyfriend’s brother without being married, do not do drama.

While Alex has successfully quelled these rumors about her engagement, her social media activity has revealed a huge thing about her. But what is it?

Alexandra Saint Mleux takes a stand for controversial Olympic boxer

The Olympics are currently underway in Paris, France, and being a Frenchwoman by birth, Alexandra perhaps follows the Games. And she recently liked a post by boxer Imane Khelif to show off her support for the Algerian. Khelif has been in the news recently because of a massive controversy regarding her gender. Some protesters wanted her out of the competition since she was disqualified earlier at the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championship after allegedly failing a gender eligibility test.

However, the International Olympic Committee allowed Khelif to take part in the women’s category as there is no proof she has XY chromosomes or elevated testosterone levels. The 25-year-old went on to win a gold medal at the Olympics in the end. Alexandra Saint Mleux heaped support for the Algerian, who, after winning the medal, said, “I am a woman like any other woman.”

So, Alexandra seems like a girl’s girl, and she just wanted to call Charlotte her very good friend! But do you still think she is trying to keep her engagement hidden from the world for a little while longer before announcing it at the end of the season?
