Max Verstappen is an uncle again! His sister Victoria announced on Instagram that she has become a mother to a baby girl, Hailey Heuts. Victoria Verstappen is the mother of two young boys, Luka and Lio, and last November, she announced her pregnancy on Instagram, with the baby due in June. Two days into the month, little Hailey has arrived!

Sharing an adorable photo of the new born Hailey in a pink outfit with a matching cap, Victoria introduced her to the world with the caption, “Welcome to the world, Hailey Heuts.” Victoria is in a relationship with Tom Heuts and now the pair will be parents to three children.

After posting Hailey’s photo, Victoria followed it up by uploading a video the next day of her adorable daughter sleeping while she holds her tiny hands. Last year, while announcing the pregnancy, she uploaded a photo on Instagram of her two sons holding the ultrasound pictures and added the caption, “one more to adore! June 2024.”

In 2021, Victoria then aged 21, talked about becoming a mother at a young age and how she wants to set an example to others about celebrating the joys of early motherhood. At that time, she already had given birth to Luka, while Lio was on his way. And now at 24, she is going to be a mother to a daughter.

Her responsibilities with her children, haven’t meant she has stayed behind in her professional life. She owns a clothing brand named ‘Unleash the Lion.’ and has over 313k followers on Instagram.

Meanwhile, her IG post of Hailey garnered attention and a plethora of likes from her followers and the Verstappen clan also came together to send their wishes, along with a few other big names.

“Grandma’s girl,” Victoria gets wishes from family, celebs and fans

Everyone under Victoria’s post was smitten by how adorable Hailey is in the picture. While Kelly Piquet and Max Verstappen couldn’t be there while Hailey was delivered due to their busy schedules, they showered their love. Verstappen dropped a like on his niece’s photo, while his girlfriend commented, “Can’t wait to meet you, Hailey.”

Replying to Kelly Piquet’s comment, one fan said, “She also looks like Uncle Max. Congrats.” After reading this comment, you’d take a second look at Hailey and might just agree. She has features from both sides of the family, but it’s hard not to see Max Verstappen in his baby niece.

Last time Victoria gave birth, it turned out to be lucky for Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver was in the P2 in the Saudi Arabian GP, when Liko arrived in this world on December 6, 2021. A few days later, in his next F1 race Verstappen clinched the F1 title in Abu Dhabi. He will hope for similar luck with Hailey this time around as well.

Next up was the turn of grandparents. Sophie Kumpen, mother of Victoria and Max tagged Hailey as “Grandma’s girl,” in the comment section and their father, Jos Verstappen, posted a string of hearts in the comments section to express his love. Hailey’s father, Tom Heuts, posted a heart in the comment section, showing his delight.

There were wishes from other celebrity names as well. Formula 1 reporter, Natalie Pinkham wrote, “Huge congratulations how wonderful xxx.” F1 analyst and TV presenter Naomi Schiff also sent her wishes, feeling mesmerized by the cuteness of little Hailey. She wrote, “Congratulations @victoriaverstappen on your beautiful baby girl. She is adorable.”

Hailey’s photo also drew the attention of Dutch actress, Marly van der Velden, who commented, “Congratulations on your beautiful daughter.” Meanwhile, Jill Cairoli Cox, the wife of retired Italian professional motocross racer, also welcomed the newborn, writing, “Welcome little Hailey!”

Cute might just be an understatement to describe little Hailey. As the world does with every child with the Verstappen name, it will hope that she grows up and takes to racing. She’s just one day old today, but by the age of 4, Max Verstappen was behind the steering wheel. Even Victoria Verstappen used to race with the Red Bull champion when they were younger.

That being said, there is some way to go and in the meantime we send our best wishes to Victoria on Hailey’s birth.
