Formula 1 drivers are humans like us and they have ups and downs. The same thing applies to their personal lives, as, like everyone else, they might part ways with someone and then meet someone new. However, a particular radio show host is not a fan of that.

In 2016, Kyle Sandilands, a co-host on ‘The Kyle And Jackie O Show’, criticized the trend of dating in F1 in Daniel Ricciardo’s presence. Not only that, but he also praised the Honey Badger for his long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart Jemma Boskovich.

He stated, “Daniel’s with his high school sweetheart. He’s not like the rest of these F1 drivers who are ba*ging Rihanna and Pussycat Dolls.”

As a matter of fact, Mercedes ace Lewis Hamilton is the driver who has been associated with singer Rihanna and Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger.

Moreover, talking about the relationship of Ricciardo, Sandilands further said on the show, “He’s a decent bloke. He’s with the same bird since he’s been at school.”

Little did the radio show host know, by then, there were already rumors of Ricciardo splitting up with Boskovich. When asked to comment on the same, the former Red Bull driver said, “It’s all good. Next subject.”

Who Daniel Ricciardo is with now?

Unfortunately, the high school couple parted ways in 2016. And the McLaren driver is with Heidi Berger now.
