Fernando Alonso is currently in a relationship with Spanish journalist Melissa Jimenez. However, there seems to be another person involved in their love story, with Ferrari star Carlos Sainz, rumored to be interested in Jimenez. If this is true, Alonso could potentially be upset with Sainz, who considers the former to be his racing idol.
Alonso’s weeks-long saga involving Taylor Swift finally came to an end in the month of May when the American started dating someone else. Soon, however, rumors about him finding a new love started emerging. This new love came in the form of Melissa Jimenez, who was married to FC Barcelona soccer star Marc Bartra. Jimenez, who broke up with her ex-boyfriend and comedian Dani Martinez, over WhatsApp has been spotted with Alonso multiple times.
Sainz meanwhile, has had a torrid few weeks when it comes to his personal life. He broke up with his long-time girlfriend Isa Hernandez. While nothing official was revealed, it is widely speculated that Hernandez wanted to get away from Sainz because he cheated on her.
Now, after upsetting his ex, Sainz has upset his long-time idol Fernando Alonso if these latest rumors turn out to be true.
Reason behind Carlos Sainz’s rumored rift with Fernando Alonso
According to 20Minutos, Sainz is romantically interested in pursuing Alonso’s girlfriend Melissa Jimenez. Notable Spanish journalist Jose Manuel Estrada revealed that there was something going on between Jimenez and Sainz, which Alonso didn’t appreciate.
“Alonso, who is with Melissa, thinks that there has been something between Carlos and this girl. Something I don’t know what,” Estrada said as quoted by 20Minutos. “Alonso is upset with him, he is with the fly behind his ear.”
Estrada pointed out that he got to know about this from Alonso’s point of view. The two-time world champion reportedly feels that Sainz is trying to pursue Jimenez, which has made him very upset.
Is Carlos Sainz really going after Melissa Jimenez
Jimenez and Alonso have known each other for a long time, and spent time with each other even before they started dating. The same, however, cannot be said about Carlos Sainz.
Since Jimenez is a sports journalist, the two of them have spent time with each other during interviews ahead of races. However, there aren’t any pictures or reports suggesting that they have been hanging out otherwise.
Sainz’s personal life and his choices have been scrutinized heavily, on the other hand. Isa Hernandez was his girlfriend for more than six years. However, they split up after cheating allegations came up against the Spaniard. As per the reports, he cheated on Hernandez with a woman named Mia Brown.
If the news about Sainz being interested in Alonso’s girlfriend turns out to be true, his reputation could take a major hit in Spain. Alonso is one of the most famous celebrities in the country. It is very likely that the majority of the population will back Alonso in this case.
