Is there trouble in paradise for Verstappen? Max Verstappen seems to be in the best phase of his life. Professionally, he is in the prime of his racing career and cannot seem to lose a single race. In his personal life, judging by his Father’s Day post on social media, his relationship with his strict father seems to have taken a turn for the better. Also, his romantic relationship with his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, seems to be going stronger than ever. But a recent action of Piquet’s on Instagram doesn’t signal the same.
The Dutchman and his Brazilian model girlfriend started dating in 2020 and made it official in 2021. And they have been happy and supportive of each other ever since. Verstappen even enjoys spending time with Piquet’s daughter, Penelope. Their adorable interactions during the Twitch streams that Verstappen does are a sight for sore eyes.
Life partners have a major impact on how a person behaves in their personal and professional lives. Ever since Piquet has become a part of his life, Verstappen has seen the highest of successes. Over the course of their relationship, he has even become a more peaceful and composed man. Their story is like a joyous version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Piquet even has a ‘highlight’ section dedicated to Verstappen on Instagram, captioned ‘💖’.

But, a recent uncommon Instagram glitch has caused an uproar on social media. Because of the glitch, that highlights section has disappeared from her account. But that is not the case for everybody. While many can’t find it anymore, there are a lot of people who can still view those stories. Fans are divided on what to believe.
Fans Go Crazy Over Instagram Glitch Causing Potential Heartbreak for Max Verstappen
For a relationship that looked strong as recent as the Monaco GP, such an action from Piquet would have been surprising. But that is not the case to be. It is not a voluntary action, but a platform fault that has caused the confusion. There are two kinds of reactions coming in. One is the group that cannot view the highlights and is pretty upset about the potential heartbreak. And the other, those who are happy with the breakup rumors. Let us look at the former first:
