To be an F1 WAG means living under a constant spotlight. And to be Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend means even more as the Monegasque is one of the most popular drivers on the grid. To add to it, his dating life has always attracted intense scrutiny and discussion.
When Leclerc was in a relationship with Charlotte Sine (2019–2022), she became quite popular, gaining hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram. Now, it’s his current partner, Alexandra Saint Mleux’s, time under the sun.
Saint Mleux is a fan favorite because of her online presence, her frequent visits to the paddock, and her stylish outfits. As her popularity grew, some fans started digging into her past and unearthed some questionable activities on social media.
At first glance, these appear disturbing. But whether Leclerc feels so is a different question altogether. The most controversial of them is that Saint Mleux has liked posts that are borderline racist. There is more.
Some of the posts she liked were downright fat-shaming, while others appeared to support the notion of gold-digging.
On X, one of the posts she liked suggested that multiculturalism exists only when people of different cultures stay away from one another. After it came out that she had endorsed the tweet, she deleted her account altogether.
Another controversial post — this one on Instagram — that she liked mocked the quote, “All bodies are beautiful.” A fan recently pointed these out on Reddit.
“Alexandra comes off as fake. This whole persona of acting shy isn’t real. Based on the problematic things she liked on Instagram — they were racist, fatphobic, [and] she even praised Lauren Sanchez for being a gold digger. She also looks down on service workers,” the Redditor wrote on his post.
While Saint Mleux hasn’t denied these claims yet, fans are left pondering whether there’s any real substance to them or if her social media activities were just harmless mistakes. One particular story that keeps popping up is the allegation that Saint Mleux was trying to woo Leclerc while he was still dating Sine.
Leclerc is a multimillionaire thanks to his success in F1. And Saint Mleux liked gold-digger memes on Instagram. People seem to have connected this to the rumors that Leclerc may have cheated on Sine with his current girlfriend.
That said, it’s all rumors. And the truth will not surface unless the people involved address it.
