Max Verstappen and Brazilian model Kelly Piquet have been in a relationship for three years now. They live together in Monaco, and Piquet’s daughter Penelope, too lives with the Dutchman. Now, however, things could turn up a notch as Piquet’s recent Instagram post suggests that she is ready to take their relationship to the next level by marrying Verstappen.
This seems to be the case despite there having been several rumors about them breaking up over the last few months. Even though these rumors have surfaced only recently, it is pertinent to note that Piquet continues to cheer Verstappen on.

The rumors about them breaking up started coming out because of Piquet’s failure to attend quite a few races this season. However, the reason behind her not doing so is solely the commitments she made to attend fashion shows around the world. And it is not just Piquet that seems interested in marrying Verstappen, but also the Red Bull driver’s mother, Sophie Kumpen.
Kelly Piquet seems keen on marrying Max Verstappen
Kelly Piquet took to her Instagram handle and put up a story on July 6 that showed a woman walking in a bridal gown. She interestingly captioned this post as, “My favorite part of Couture is always the bride“.

Since Piquet commented on the bridal wear, it seems likely that she is keen on marrying Max Verstappen. And if Sophie Kumpen’s interview from a year ago is anything to go by, then it seems that she too approves of the idea.
In the video, Kumpen stated, “Kelly, of course, is a bit older (than Max). She has a little child. They have created some form of a little family. I think that Max maybe missed that when he was young. Such stability has also helped him as he knows someone is waiting for him at home“.
Perhaps, Sophie Kumpen made these comments keeping her son Verstappen’s difficult childhood in mind. Since the Dutchman had to go through his parents separating when he was very young, he must be enjoying “stability” that Kumpen discussed about in her interview.
Piquet wants to have more children with Verstappen
Kelly Piquet, who currently has one child, Penelope, from her previous relationship with former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat, once revealed in an interview that she wants her daughter to have a sibling. The 34-year-old told Vogue (as quoted by express.co.uk) in an interview in December last year, “Personally, I would like to have more children“.
And it seems that her boyfriend, Max Verstappen, also wants children of his own. In an interview with Limburger (as quoted by express.co.uk), the Dutchman said that he definitely wants children. However, the 25-year-old did make it clear that he does not think that he will become a parent anytime soon, because of his F1 career.
