Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports Germany reporter Ralf Schumacher has announced his engagement to his partner Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne.
The pair first confirmed their relationship in July 2024 and are understood to have been together for three years. They have remained relatively private since then.
“We are pleased to confirm that Ralf Schumacher and his partner Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne will be getting married,” an Instagram post shared by Bousquet-Cassagne stated.
“Both are delighted by the many kind congratulations they have received. Ralf and Étienne will not comment on any further personal details and kindly ask that their privacy be respected. Thank you for your understanding.”
Schumacher’s ex-wife Cora, to whom he was married for 13 years, congratulated the couple. “[My partner] Steven and I wish Ralf and Étienne all the best and much happiness,” she said, according to Bild. She also told the German publication that the couple are planning a three-day wedding in Saint-Tropez in May, although this has not been confirmed.
The German driver accumulated six grand prix wins during his time in F1 from 1997 to 2007. Racing for teams including Jordan, Williams and Toyota, he also racked up 27 podium finishes, six pole positions and 329 career points.
Since retiring, Schumacher has served as a co-commentator for Sky Sports in Germany.
