Despite garnering a lot of spotlight for being Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend since June 2023, Alexandra Saint Mleux had opted to keep her social media profiles private. However, the 21-year-old made her Instagram profile public in June 2024. It gave fans and gossip communities a first peek into her life, with her photos and Leclerc’s activity on them grabbing the spotlight.
@f1gossippofficial on Instagram pointed out back then, about how the Ferrari driver liked some of Mleux’s old posts from November 2022 when he was still in a relationship with Charlotte Sine. Leclerc and Sine officially announced their breakup only in December 2022.

While this detail seemed quite trivial at the time, the gossip page and some fans on X created “cheating” theories about the Monegasque driver and Mleux. However, there is no proof of when Leclerc liked those older photos.
Besides, as Mleux and Sine had been good friends back then, it is quite possible that the 26-year-old just liked those pictures as a friend. Many fans on X provided the same logic to rubbish cheating theories.
charles and his ex were no longer together long before the announcement and charles may have liked Alex’s photo long after they just hate them

On top of that, another fan was spot on with the counterview that just liking Mleux’s photo on social media doesn’t necessarily mean Leclerc would have cheated on his then-girlfriend.
We don’t even know when he liked that picture, let alone that him liking a insta Post means that he cheated on Charlotte

Interestingly, Saint Mleux was a good friend of Sine’s sister. So when the relationship between Saint Mleux and Leclerc became well-known, Sine’s sister reportedly unfollowed Saint Mleux on social media. It might have been a case of things getting awkward between them due to Leclerc.
How Leclerc and Saint Mleux’s relationship became a reality
It was back in May and June of 2023 when rumors first surfaced of Saint Mleux possibly dating Leclerc. The Ferrari driver was single for several months after his breakup with Charlotte Sine. However, during the summer of 2023, photos and appearances of Mleux alongside Leclerc started to increase.
The 22-year-old is an art history student at Ecole du Louvre in Paris, as per her supposed LinkedIn account and multiple other reports. She garnered fame via her TikTok activity and her relationship with Leclerc.
She has regularly been traveling to Grand Prix weekends to support the 26-year-old. Mleux was also present at the 2024 Monaco GP where Leclerc won his maiden home race. Given how the Monegasque had been having some wretched luck in Monaco for several years, many deemed her as his lucky charm.
Even Charlotte Sine was present at the Monaco GP as she is also a Monegasque like her former boyfriend. Sine attended the race along with her sister, who congratulated Leclerc for his stellar drive around the Principality.
