“They are very happy and the baby will be born in March,” a source close to the couple revealed. On March 25, 2026, Melissa Jimenez and Fernando Alonso welcomed their first child together, adding a new member to their family.

This birth is particularly significant as it marks Alonso’s first child at the age of 44. For Jimenez, this is her fourth child, having three children from her previous marriage to soccer player Marc Bartra. Their family now includes Gala, 10, Abril, 7, and Max, 6.

Jimenez, who holds a degree in Communication and is fluent in multiple languages, has previously worked for DAZN covering Formula 1. Her professional background and personal life have often been in the spotlight, especially with her relationship with the renowned Formula 1 driver.

Alonso’s commitment to his family was evident when he missed the early stages of the Japanese Grand Prix to be present for the birth of his child. This decision underscores his priorities as he balances a demanding career with his new role as a father.

In 2023, Alonso expressed his desire to become a father, stating it was his biggest dream. The arrival of their baby fulfills this aspiration, bringing joy to both parents.

“A day we’ll forever remember. Part one is done and part 2 will be next year with all of our close ones,” said fellow driver Charles Leclerc, reflecting on the significance of this moment for the couple.

As they embark on this new chapter, the couple looks forward to celebrating their growing family with friends and loved ones in the near future.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the baby’s name and other specifics, but the excitement surrounding the birth is palpable.
