From initially avoiding the limelight on social media to embracing her status as one of the WAGs of the F1 paddock, Charles Leclerc’s girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, has made that big transition into stardom. After she made her Instagram account public in June 2024, Saint Mleux has seen a huge surge in her follower count. From a few thousand, it is now 1.8 million and counting.
In keeping with her celebrity status, Saint Mleux makes sure to keep her followers updated about her life. Her recent post showcases pictures of her in Saudi Arabia, where her boyfriend is set to race next.
Before the Monegasque got busy with his racing activities at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, he had a short getaway with his girlfriend. A well-documented trip, to say the least. Leclerc posted a few pictures of the trip in Saudi Arabia, which also featured his trainer, Andrea Ferrari.
The brief ‘break’ came at a pretty obvious moment, where the couple had to quell rumors about the racer cheating, leading to a discord in their relationship. And all seemed well between Leclerc and Saint Mleux. The “cute” part came when Leclerc ensured the world saw what he is capable of with a camera in hand.
The photographs Saint Mleux posted showed her in a beautiful white gown, posing amid some desert rocks. It created an aesthetic frame. While she didn’t mention anything in her caption, Leclerc was quick to ask for photo credits in his comment to her post, indicating that he had clicked these pictures.
“Credits: @charles_leclerc”, he jokingly wrote. Naturally, fans are amused at the 27-year-old’s comment. They quickly deemed his demeanor to be “cute”.
“World’s best trained boyfriend,” a fan replied to Leclerc’s comment. “The best cameraman ever,” another wrote.

Meanwhile, another fan hilariously commented that the Ferrari driver is “marking territory” by trying to claim credit for Saint Mleux’s pictures.
Leclerc has shown that he enjoys and revels in the moment when Saint Mleux is by his side. While they weren’t initially hanging out in public together, largely due to her friendly relationship with Leclerc’s ex-girlfriend Charlotte Sine, that phase seems to have passed.
How Leclerc and Saint Mleux’s relationship has evolved
After Sine and Leclerc broke up in December 2022, the Ferrari driver was single for about six months or so before rumors connecting him and Saint Mleux started to float.
Later, in 2024, they unofficially confirmed their relationship when Saint Mleux started to visit races more often. She was also present for Leclerc’s historic Monaco GP triumph. Once Saint Mleux became a regular in the Ferrari paddock, she quickly became one of the most followed WAGs in F1.
Saint Mleux has become famous as a social media influencer via her primary presence on TikTok. She has been an art student, having pursued a bachelor’s degree in Art History at the École du Louvre. Her interest in art is evident in her posts chronicling her visits to various art museums and galleries across the world.
