Despite Son’s Steamy Affair With Rebecca Donaldson, Mamma Continues Bond With Estranged Ex

When the roar of engines fades and the flashbulbs stop popping, what remains is the intimate reality that drivers and their families navigate. In the case of Carlos Sainz Jr., love seemed to have a pit stop as he went from long-term girlfriend Isabel Hernaez to paparazzi-captivating affair with Rebecca Donaldson faster than you can say “Grand Prix.” Yet, there’s a twist in the tale that’s worthy of its own championship lap: despite the new coupling, Carlos’ mother, Reyes Vázquez de Castro, appears to be keeping the engine running on her bond with Isabel. That’s right—Mamma Sainz continues to interact affectionately with Isa. In a world that changes as quickly as the racetrack, it seems some connections are built to last.

In a fairy tale that began back in 2017, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Isabel Hernaez seemed like the golden couple of the F1 circuit. With Isabel at his side, Carlos Sainz won his first-ever race at the British GP in 2022. The two had their fans swooning, if not from affectionate yet private exchanges, then from the exciting yet elusive prospect of wedding bells. Yet, in a twist worthy of a hairpin turn, their relationship began to unravel. But by June 2023, Carlos Sainz threw a curveball during a fan interaction, casually mentioning “girlfriend, if I have one.” Isabel put the final seal on their relationship chapter at an Elle magazine event in Madrid, confirming that indeed they had taken separate routes, effectively pulling the handbrake on a relationship that had seemed almost destined for wedding bells.

But amidst the flash and sizzle of new love and professional triumphs, the most gripping storyline emerges quietly from the social media activity of Mamma Sainz. Despite her son’s burgeoning love affair, she hasn’t unfollowed Isabel Hernaez on Instagram. More notably, she’s still actively liking her pictures. In an age where social media activity is considered as telling as a verbal statement, Mamma Sainz’s digital gestures speak volumes. They highlight that love, or at least respect and fondness, need not be forgotten in the excitement of something new. In the ephemeral world of fame, where connections often dissolve as quickly as they form, this seemingly simple act becomes a beacon of enduring affection.

This digital interaction offers a heartwarming subtext: families, sometimes, are more resistant to change than we give them credit for, even when relationships fall apart. It’s a subtle yet emotionally charged reminder that while relationships might shift gears or even stall, some connections are resilient enough to endure the test of time and circumstance. That brings us to our next burning question: Just who is Carlos Sainz’s new co-pilot in love, Rebecca Donaldson?

Stepping into the spotlight, Rebecca Donaldson

Rebecca Donaldson isn’t just another pretty face. Born in London in 1995, the Scottish stunner has a resume as impressive as her captivating blue eyes. Not merely content with gracing magazine covers and runways, Rebecca is also an entrepreneur and athleisure model. She aligns her career with her passion for fitness and wellness, effectively shaping her brand as an influencer. Once linked with celebrities like Scott Disick, she’s navigated through the rocky terrains of love and fame.

But what truly sets Rebecca apart in this racetrack romance is her resilience. Following a brief but high-profile relationship with Scott Disick that lasted merely two months, Rebecca has shown emotional strength. In Carlos, she seems to have found her love, finally, hopefully.
