Fernando Alonso will probably be a father for the first time. This is the fourth child for his partner. She already has two daughters and a son with a former BVB star.

Twenty years ago, Fernando Alonso won his first world title. The following year he was able to defend it. The 44-year-old now drives for Aston Martin and is looking forward to having offspring in his private life. The Spaniard will probably be a father for the first time. This was confirmed by the TV channel Sky Italia.

His partner since 2023 has been Formula 1 reporter Melissa Jiménez, who works for the sports streaming service DAZN. The 38-year-old was married to former Dortmund star Marc Bartra from 2017 to 2022. Jiménez has three children with the 34-year-old footballer, who now plays for Betis Sevilla: two daughters and a son.

Alonso was also married before, from 2006 to 2011 to the Spanish singer Raquel del Rosario. After the separation, Alonso told “Bild” at the time: “We are separating as a married couple, but never as friends. Because there is a very good relationship between us, based on mutual love and admiration.”
