Ralf Schumacher has announced that he is getting married to his partner, Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne.

The former Formula 1 driver, 50, and his fiancé shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The post includes a photo of the pair smiling and posing together as they clinked their glasses, as well as a statement.

The statement, shared in both German and English, reads: “We are pleased to confirm that Ralf Schumacher and his partner Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne will be getting married. Both are delighted by the many kind congratulations they have received.”

“Ralf and Étienne will not comment on any further personal details and kindly ask that their privacy be respected,” the statement continues. “Thank you for your understanding.”

Ralf, the younger brother of former F1 legend Michael Schumacher — who sustained a brain injury in a skiing accident in 2013 — came out as gay and revealed his relationship with Bousquet-Cassagne in a July 2024 Instagram post.

Alongside a photo of the couple with their arms around each other as they watched a golden sunset from a boat, he wrote at the time: “The most beautiful thing in life is when you have the right partner by your side with whom you can share everything 🙏.”

His son, racer David Schumacher, shared his support in the comments of the post.

“I am very happy that you have finally found someone with whom you really feel very comfortable and secure, no matter if you are a man or a woman, I am 100% behind you dad and wish you all the best and congratulations,” he wrote.

Ralf shares David, 24, with his ex-wife, Cora-Coraline Schumacher. The pair wed in 2001 and finalized their divorce in 2015.

Cora-Coraline shared her well-wishes for her ex-husband and Bousquet-Cassagne while speaking with German outlet Bild.

“[My partner] Steven and I wish Ralf and Étienne all the best and much happiness,” she said, claiming that the engaged pair are eyeing a three-day wedding in Saint-Tropez in May.

Since publicly debuting his relationship with Bousquet-Cassagne nearly two years ago, Ralf — who competed in F1 from 1997 to 2007 before retiring from motorsport in 2012 — has shared glimpses into their life together.

On Oct. 3, 2025, he shared a photo on Instagram of the pair posing with a dog, revealing that it was “a special day.”

“Since 3 years I spend almost 24/7 with the love of my life 🥰. So amazing to have a strong and loving relationship in life ❤️,” Ralf wrote.

More recently, he shared a New Year’s Day post on Jan. 1, revealing that he and Bousquet-Cassagne ended 2025 with a trip to South Africa. After sharing some highlights of the trip, he teased a year of “love” ahead.

“Two more months of happiness in #CapeTown before we return to Europe. We wish you a happy new year 2026. A year full of joy, health and love,” he wrote.
