F1 legend Fernando Alonso’s heartbreaking split with long-time partner
Just one day after claiming his third podium finish of the season, Fernando Alonso has dropped some sad news about his personal life.
Formula One icon Fernando Alonso has announced his split from long-term partner Andrea Schlager.
The Spaniard shared the news on Instagram just hours after his podium finish at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.
In a statement, he wrote: “We wanted to tell you that our relationship as a couple ended.
“We have been lucky enough to share a fantastic time together, and it will continue to be so, but on a different form of affection.
“As you have probably seen, we have continued working on and off track on various projects together also during this time, and we will keep doing so with deep love and respect for each other.
“We thought it is appropriate to share this as you have all been very supportive. Thanks for that. Love Fer & Andrea.”
Schlager, a sports commentator known for her work in F1 and MotoGP, met Alonso through her F1 commitments.
The couple enjoyed a private relationship for the most part before going their separate ways.
Alonso is currently enjoying a very successful season in F1 with new team Aston Martin.
