Sources close to the couple indicate that the decision to part ways was mutual and made after considerable reflection. The primary reasons for the divorce have been attributed to the pressures of Verstappen’s demanding career and the increasing public scrutiny of their private lives. The couple reportedly struggled to balance their personal and professional commitments, which contributed to the strain on their relationship.
Verstappen, a two-time Formula 1 World Champion, has been focused on his racing career, which has involved intense travel and commitments. Meanwhile, Piquet, a Brazilian socialite and daughter of three-time F1 World Champion Nelson Piquet, has her own professional pursuits and public engagements. These factors are believed to have played a role in the couple’s decision to separate.
In a joint statement, Verstappen and Piquet expressed their commitment to maintaining a respectful and amicable relationship moving forward. They asked for privacy during this time and emphasized that their decision was made with mutual respect and understanding.
Both Verstappen and Piquet are expected to continue with their respective careers and public roles, with Verstappen preparing for the upcoming Formula 1 season and Piquet focusing on her various ventures.
This development marks the end of a high-profile relationship that had drawn significant media attention. Fans and followers of the couple are likely to respect their privacy as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
