Separate summer holiday plans and a highly anticipated reunion—this was the scenario for Max Verstappen and his lady love Kelly Piquet throughout the summer break. While Piquet attended her sister’s wedding without Max, the Dutchman was in Cannes with his family. Of course, the naysayers began with their theories of separation which didn’t turn out to be true. Shutting down all rumors, Verstappen flew down to Portugal to join his sweetheart for the rest of the break.
However, when you become famous, controversies, theories, rumors, and more follow you everywhere. Precisely, for this power couple of F1, rumors keep barging in. Detractors and fans never cease to manifest things, good or bad, for Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet. Meanwhile, one tittle-tattle has remained constant- Kelly’s pregnancy. Rumors are now flooding social media, claiming the Brazilian model is pregnant with the Red Bull star’s child. But, why are the fans saying this?
F1’s gossip factories are running overtime once again because an Instagram Story is creating a buzz in the crowd. Recently, Kelly Piquet shared a post on her Story: “You can literally feel when it’s time to move into your life’s next chapter.” Sharing this on their social media, @f1gossipofficial mentioned that a possible pregnancy has surfaced again.

It was more than just a holiday snap; it was an open rebuttal to the rumor warehouses. And maybe, this year too, Kelly and Max could come up with some innovative ideas to silence the gossip.
