Kelly Tamsma Piquet Souto Maior was born on December 7, 1988, in Homburg, Germany.

She travelled from place to place, spending most of her formative years in France.

Kelly spent 12 months studying in England before heading back to Brazil, and then going to college in New York — graduating in International Relations.

Kelly and Max Verstappen went Instagram official in 2021, with the racing driver posting a picture of the couple along with the message: “Happy New Year everyone!

“Let’s make 2021 a year to remember in many ways.

“Wishing you all success, love and happiness just as I found mine.”

What does Max Verstappen’s girlfriend do for a living?

Kelly is a model, columnist, blogger and PR professional.

While living in the Big Apple, Piquet started a career in fashion, holding roles as a stylist assistant for Vogue Latin America and a buyer for Bergdorf Goodman.

She is also a model and has worked with brands including Pepe Jeans, PatBo and Louis Vuitton.

After spending time with Marie Claire and Vogue magazines, Kelly took over as part of the social media team for Formula E.

At the time she said: “I am now working full time for Formula E as social media strategist and content creator.

“I focus on Instagram and Twitter, and do all Snapchat content.”

Did Kelly Piquet date Daniil Kvyat?

Yes. Kelly and Russian racing driver Daniil Kvyat confirmed they were dating in January 2017 as she posted a black and white photo of them on Instagram, captioned with “love” in Russian.

The couple often shared their adventures on social media, especially with the Brazilian being a regular on the motorsport scene.

Kelly had a daughter with Kvyat, Penelope, on July 27, 2019.

Their relationship came to an end in December of the same year.

Who is Kelly Piquet’s father Nelson Piquet?

As you can probably tell by the surname, Kelly belongs to a family of racing royalty.

Her father is disgraced F1 legend Nelson Piquet Sr, often referred to as one of the greatest to ever grace the sport.

He won three world championships — 1981, 1983 and 1987 — driving for Brabham, Williams, Lotus and Benetton.

Piquet Sr battled against other greats including Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost.

He now manages his two racing sons, with Nelson Jr formerly driving for Renault in F1 before becoming a world champion in the Formula E, and Pedro having raced in Formula 3 and Formula 2.

In March 2023, Nelson Sr was fined £780,000 for aiming racist and homophobic slurs at Lewis Hamilton by a court in Brazil.
