Celebrities often choose not to open up about their personal life in front of the media. They often prefer to keep them as private as possible. However, Daniel Ricciardo has not walked on the same usual path lately.

In a recent interview, the Australian driver opened up about his personal life and relationship. In the Fitzy & Wippa podcast, the Perth-based driver let everyone know about the details of his love life and his connection with his partner’s family.

Talking about this, the McLaren driver stated, “Yeah mate, I’m in love. I got a good thing going, so yeah. I’ve got a good balance in life right now.” The F1 star further shared that “love eliminates stress” for him.
