The couple’s shared roots go back to 2022, when they met through mutual acquaintances. About a year later, they made their relationship public.

In November 2025, the marriage proposal followed, in which Leclerc relied on a particularly cute helper: dachshund Leo acted as a little messenger and delivered the words “Dad wants to marry you”.
The couple celebrated the highlight of their partnership in February 2026. At the Monaco town hall, Charles and Alexandra exchanged vows in the closest family and friends circle. Afterwards, the newlyweds appeared overjoyed on a balcony high above the rooftops of Monaco – now the first child together finally completes the family happiness.
