Lando Norris and Magui Corceiro Reportedly Split After High-Profile Romance
Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris has reportedly ended his relationship with Portuguese model and actress Magui Corceiro, drawing the curtain on one of the most closely followed romances in the Formula 1 paddock.
News of the alleged breakup emerged on Thursday evening, with British tabloid The Sun reporting that the couple had quietly gone their separate ways. Speculation intensified after respected Formula 1 photographer and paddock insider Kym Illman hinted that an announcement regarding the pair was imminent, sparking widespread discussion among fans online.
Neither Norris nor Corceiro has publicly confirmed the split at the time of writing. However, the reports have generated significant attention given the couple’s visibility throughout the 2025 Formula 1 season — a campaign that proved historic for Norris.
The 26-year-old Brit enjoyed a breakthrough year, clinching his maiden Formula 1 world championship after a dramatic and fiercely contested title fight. His triumph elevated him to the very top tier of the sport and dramatically increased global interest in both his racing career and personal life.
Corceiro, 23, was a regular presence in the paddock during Norris’ championship-winning season. Frequently spotted inside the McLaren garage, she became a familiar face to television audiences around the world. Race broadcasts often showed her reactions during tense qualifying sessions and nail-biting race finishes, cementing her status as one of the most recognisable partners on the grid.
As Norris’ on-track success soared, so too did public curiosity surrounding their relationship. Corceiro travelled to numerous grands prix during the title run-in, supporting Norris as he battled across multiple continents. Yet the intense spotlight that celebrated their romance also brought heightened scrutiny.
Before her relationship with Norris attracted international headlines, Corceiro — whose full name is Margarida Corceiro — had already built a successful career in Portugal’s entertainment industry. She began acting at just 17, landing roles in popular Portuguese television dramas that quickly established her as a rising star.
In 2020, she expanded her television profile by competing in Portugal’s edition of Dancing with the Stars, further broadening her fanbase. Her growing popularity soon translated into modelling opportunities, including appearances on the cover of Vogue Portugal and collaborations with well-known global brands such as Intimissimi, Alo Yoga and Kérastase.
Corceiro’s influence extends strongly into the digital space. With a substantial social media following, she has been recognised by Forbes as Portugal’s most influential Instagram personality. Her online presence has played a significant role in shaping her international visibility.
In addition to acting and modelling, Corceiro has ventured into business. She co-founded the eco-conscious swimwear brand Missu, reflecting her commitment to sustainability in fashion and positioning herself as an entrepreneur as well as a public figure.
However, increased fame has also brought challenges. Over the past year, Corceiro has spoken openly about the online abuse she has faced. As Norris’ championship campaign intensified, she became the target of harsh criticism, harassment and even death threats on social media platforms.
Only weeks before reports of the breakup surfaced, Corceiro addressed the issue directly, stressing that online hate and threats should not be dismissed as a normal part of internet culture. She described such behaviour as serious abuse capable of causing genuine harm, prompting broader conversations about the pressures faced by partners of elite athletes in globally followed sports like Formula 1.
For Norris, the reported split represents a significant personal development following the most successful year of his professional life. As he prepares to defend his world title, attention will inevitably return to his ambitions on track.
Meanwhile, Corceiro continues to focus on expanding her acting, modelling and entrepreneurial ventures. While their relationship may have ended, both remain prominent figures in their respective industries — likely to stay firmly in the public eye, albeit on separate paths.
