Ralf Schumacher posts a snapshot with his partner

Throughout his life, Ralf Schumacher has been known for making headlines on racetracks around the world. Now he's making them on a boat in the arms of a man.

“The best thing in life is when you have the right partner by your side who you can share everything with,” the former Formula 1 driver posted alongside a sunset photo. Schumacher is (still) leaving it open as to who that “right partner” by his side is. The two have reportedly been a couple for two years.

The 49-year-old was married to Cora Schumacher from 2001 to 2015, but has been living separately from his wife since 2009. They have a son together – David Schumacher, 22, who is a racing driver like his father, uncle Michael Schumacher and cousin Mick Schumacher. He was born in Salzburg, where Ralf lives.

According to information from the newspaper “Bild”, the man in Ralf Schumacher's arms is the Frenchman Etienne, with whom he lives in the south of France and South Africa. The two are said to have been a couple for two years. This can also be seen from a post on Instagram by Carmen Geiss, who wrote, among other things, the following:

“His courage and honesty are inspiring and I am forever grateful to have him in my life. His journey of self-discovery is proof that love, acceptance and self-loyalty are the greatest forces in our lives. I love them with all my heart and I am so happy to have found two hearts.
