Max Verstappen’s girlfriend Kelly Piquet spent the last few weeks in Miami, taking some time out for herself, shopping, and unwinding. Upon returning home, however, she was met with a pleasant surprise, courtesy of Verstappen, who is soon set to report to Milton-Keynes ahead of the 2025 F1 season’s beginning.
The year will be long and grueling for Verstappen, just like it will be for every driver on the grid. 24 races, dozens of hours of flights, and countless hours of race preparations.
Understandably, Verstappen won’t be able to spend a lot of time with Piquet, who is also pregnant with their child. So, before the normalcy of being an F1 driver resumes, Verstappen decided to welcome Piquet back from her trip with a bouquet of roses.
Piquet took to her Instagram story to share a picture of the beautiful gift. “The sweetest welcome home ever,” the Brazilian model wrote, tagging Verstappen. But that wasn’t all, as she received some more lavish gifts upon returning.
Louis Vuitton sent Piquet a hamper that contained several baby clothes — a rather useful gift considering she is due in a few months. “Beyond cute,” she wrote, with a few crying and heart emojis.”
The $130 billion company recently signed a 10-year deal with F1, which could explain this association. And the fact that Piquet is a reputed model herself also doesn’t make Louis Vuitton’s gift a big surprise.
Piquet’s Miami shopping hunt
Earlier this year, pictures of her shopping for baby girl clothes in Miami went viral which also hinted that she and Verstappen are going to have a daughter.
Piquet even took Penelope (P) to the same store from where she bought clothes for her before she was born, in what was a full-circle moment for P and her mom. The store’s owner Taluana Adjuto revealed the same by posting a series of pictures on Instagram.

Adjuto may have already sold a bunch of clothes to Piquet, but she certainly wouldn’t mind a few extra from a reputed company like Louis Vuitton.
