Who Is Carlos Sainz’s Girlfriend Rebecca Donaldson? What Does She Do? When Are They Getting Married?

There is a possibility that even celebrated Formula One drivers are a tad jealous of Williams’ Carlos Sainz. Well, he is highly regarded by other pros in the paddock to start with, a respect reserved for seasoned pros. He has won over the fans too, thanks to his exploits on the track and his contemporary Spanish good looks. And he has a stunning girlfriend to boot!

After his messy break-up with his long-term girlfriend, Spanish journalist Isa Hernáez, the #55 driver is now dating Rebecca Donaldson, who is not just a Scottish supermodel but also a businesswoman. The two have been in a relationship since the summer of 2023 and Sainz has also teased the topic of marriage.

Rebecca Donaldson is a celebrity in her own right

Donaldson’s standing in the elite world of modeling rivals her boyfriend’s stature in F1. The 29-year-old is regarded as one of the most marketable faces of the fashion business today.

In a notoriously short-spanned field, she is a veteran. She broke into the industry back in 2011, thanks to her appearance on the UK-based reality TV show ‘Top Model UK‘. This was a turning point in her career. “My family were all very pleased for me, they were jumping around and stuff,” she later admitted.

Since then, she’s gone on to feature on the cover of some of the most prestigious magazines. Her resume includes the likes of Elle Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue to just name a few.

Based in the United Kingdom, she is managed by Premier Model Management. Donaldson is also affiliated with other agencies across Europe and Oceania, including Line-Up Model Management (Barcelona) and Merci Management (Sydney).

Donaldson’s business foray

Apart from a successful career in modeling, the 29-year-old has also tried her hand at business. She is the founder of an activewear company called Muse Activewear, which she established during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Explaining her motivations behind this venture, she said, “I was spending many days and hours during lockdown feeling a little purposeless. So, I decided to pursue my dream of starting a clothing brand.”

Since Donaldson and Sainz seem to be pretty smitten with each other, naturally one of the biggest questions in the paddock is about where their relationship is headed.

Will Sainz and Donaldson marry?

While they have no plans of getting married yet, the duo appear to be thinking about the possibility very strongly. The 30-year-old once even joked that he would marry the Scottish model in Las Vegas.

That said, with a grueling 24-race F1 calendar and the sacrifices required to reach the pinnacle of a sport like Formula 1, marriage would come off as a daunting commitment.

Sainz’s father, who is a two-time WRC champion and four-time Dakar Rally winner, knows exactly what it takes for a racing driver to settle down. That’s why he has admitted that he won’t be forcing them to tie the knot anytime soon.

He was quoted by the Spanish media outlet Hola, “I think getting married and starting a family is a very difficult decision for everyone. Seriously, I trust that when he decides, it will be because it’s clear.”

How well the duo balances their professional aspirations could very well decide the fate of their relationship.
