If you think Fernando Alonso is back as he creates magic on track, you should see what tabloids are saying about the bad boy of Formula 1. Nando recently broke up with his long-term girlfriend, Andreas Schlager. And now, at 41, the Spaniard who has had his fair share of love interests has a heartfelt wish and it is not winning his third title or getting his 33rd win. It is a family.
Fernando Alonso was married to singer Raquel del Rosario for five years at the time of his championship days. Though he has had multiple partners, he fell in love with Journalist Lara Alvarez, who he was even engaged to for 16 months before they separated as well. The busy schedule does take a toll on the lives of Formula 1 drivers. This is something Sebastian Vettel also cited when he hung his boots.

Well aware of his hectic life, Nando has stated that he knows his extreme schedule has taken a toll on his life, but ultimately, all he wants is a family. While this report of wanting a family is from a few days ago, where he said, “I want to have a family. This is the biggest dream of my life. I haven’t gotten there yet due to my lifestyle. It’s something that, when I stop running, I’ll find happiness.”
The latest update is that Nando has been spotted at the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco with a mystery woman in the background. And the woman in the background appears to be DAZN reporter Melissa Jimenez, who was married to ex-FC Barcelona player Marc Barata Aregall. Now, what do you make of that?
While we are rather intrigued by Fernando’s current dating life, only a few days ago he was linked to the biggest pop star Taylor Swift and if we are to believe an F1 expert, he reaped good benefits from it.

Pinkham then went on to add an interesting anecdote, “My 6-year-old and 8-year-old vaguely know who Fernando Alonso is coz it’s some bloke who mummy interviews at the track. But the minute they heard he was associated with Taylor Swift, they asked me who he was in the race in Miami. His growth on social media online, his presence has been exponential.”
