Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen enjoyed a rare break from the racing spotlight as he joined family and friends to celebrate the wedding of his younger sister, Victoria Verstappen, in a heartfelt ceremony last weekend.
The event took place at the picturesque Château Neercanne estate in Maastricht, where loved ones gathered to witness Victoria exchange vows with her longtime partner, Tom Heuts. The celebration marked a special milestone for the couple, who have shared eight years together and are already proud parents to three children: Luka, Lio, and Hailey.
Max attended the ceremony alongside his partner, Kelly Piquet, with the pair turning heads in coordinated green outfits. The reigning four-time Formula 1 world champion wore a stylish suit that complemented Heuts’ elegant brown-green attire, while Kelly also embraced the wedding’s sophisticated color palette.
Victoria looked radiant in a timeless white wedding gown as she walked down the aisle to marry Heuts, whose proposal beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris in April 2025 paved the way for their fairytale wedding. The couple’s young children also played an important role in the ceremony, making the occasion even more meaningful for family members.
Kelly Piquet’s daughter, Penelope, and the couple’s one-year-old daughter Lily—Max Verstappen’s first child—were among the youngest guests, charming attendees in matching white dresses as they took part in the celebrations.
While many fans have speculated about when Max and Kelly might announce wedding plans of their own, the Dutch driver recently made it clear that he is in no hurry. Speaking in a recent interview, Verstappen explained that although he is extremely happy in his relationship with Kelly, he has no intention of rushing into marriage.
According to the Red Bull star, taking such a significant step should happen naturally rather than according to a timeline, emphasizing that he is content with the way their relationship is progressing.
The wedding quickly became a talking point on social media after members of the Verstappen family shared touching moments from the day. Victoria posted a collection of photographs from the ceremony alongside the caption, “Just married to the love of my life,” giving fans an intimate glimpse into one of the happiest days of her life.
Kelly Piquet also offered followers a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations and celebrations, sharing elegant moments from the ceremony and reception.
Among the notable guests were Max’s father, Jos Verstappen, his mother Sophie Kumpen, and Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko, all of whom joined the festivities to celebrate the newlyweds.
One of the most emotional moments came from Jos Verstappen, who shared a heartfelt message dedicated to his daughter. Alongside several family photographs, he wrote, “Forever proud to be your dad. Wishing you a life filled with love, joy and happiness with your husband Tom.”
The former Formula 1 driver also posted a touching image of himself wiping away tears during the ceremony, capturing the emotion of seeing his daughter begin a new chapter. The heartfelt family celebration offered a rare glimpse into the personal life of one of Formula 1’s biggest stars, showing that even amid championship battles, family milestones remain the moments that matter most.
