Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet became parents to their first child together, their daughter Lily Verstappen, a few months ago. But who is Lily Verstappen and what is known about her?
Lily Verstappen is the daughter of Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet. She is the couple's first child together. Lily Verstappen is a girl. Verstappen and Piquet kept the sex of the baby a secret until birth, although Kelly hinted several times about the arrival of a girl.
Kelly already has a daughter, Penelope, from her previous relationship with Daniil Kvyat. For Verstappen, Lily is his first child. Lily and Penelope are half-sisters as they share the same mother. Lily does not have any full siblings (yet).
Exactly when Lily Verstappen was born is unclear. The couple is keeping the exact birth date a secret. However, it is clear that the little girl was born just before the Grand Prix weekend in Miami.
Max Verstappen missed the media day on Thursday, May 1. The following day, he said during his press moments that he had spent a number of beautiful days with his new family. So Lily Verstappen seems to have been born at the end of April.
Lily Verstappen's nationality is also unknown. The little girl has quite a few options. Max Verstappen has both Dutch and Belgian nationality. Kelly Piquet holds Brazilian nationality.
Although Lily Verstappen was born in Monaco, she does not qualify for this nationality. In Miami, Verstappen mentioned that she will probably have Dutch and Brazilian nationality, but there is still no confirmation.
Lily Verstappen is now a few months old. Therefore, it is impossible to predict the career path of the little girl. However, Verstappen has already expressed several times that Lily does not necessarily have to follow his footsteps into Formula 1. He would even rather it not happen.
Verstappen and Piquet have so far consciously opted not to clearly show the face of Lily Verstappen. Although pictures of the little girl are shared online, there is always something obscuring the face of Lily Verstappen.
