Rumors have been circulating about the status of the relationship between Max Verstappen and his long-time partner Kelly Piquet. The speculation has intensified after Kelly posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story, leaving fans wondering about the couple’s future.
The breakup rumors first began when Verstappen was noticeably absent from a significant family event—the wedding of Kelly’s sister, Julia Piquet. Fans were quick to notice that Verstappen did not accompany Kelly to the wedding, an event where his presence was obviously expected.
In her story, Kelly wrote about moving on in her life, saying, “You can literally feel when it’s time to move into your life’s next chapter,” sparking a debate about what this might mean for the pair.

Following the wedding, Kelly’s social media activity further fueled the gossip. She shared photos from a recent vacation, showing her enjoying some peaceful moments with her daughter. But once again, Verstappen was nowhere to be seen.
However, not everyone is convinced that the relationship is over. Some fans believe that Kelly’s cryptic post might not signal an end but a new beginning instead. There’s speculation that the post could hint at an engagement or even a marriage between Kelly and the Dutchman.
However, when her story was shared on X (formerly Twitter), the reactions from fans were mixed. One fan humorously speculated that Kelly might have proposed to Max herself and then shared this funny image to show Max’s answers: “Yes” and “Yes“.
