Kelly Piquet, girlfriend of reigning Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, received some personalized gifts for herself and daughter Penelope. She shared a heartfelt thank you note to a UK-based studio and French outfit maker on her Instagram stories.
Daughter of F1 legend and three-time world champion Nelson Piquet, Kelly is a model, blogger, and social media influencer. She is associated with brands like Pepe Jeans and Louis Vuitton and has also made an appearance on the cover of the Vogue magazine.
She began dating Verstappen sometime in late 2020. The couple made its relationship official in January 2021. Since then, Piquet has been frequently seen in the Red Bull Racing garage, rooting for the 26-year-old 3x world champion. Before dating the $90 million-worth Dutchman (via Celebrity Net Worth), she was married to former Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat and has a five-year-old daughter Penelope.
Being an influencer on Instagram, Piquet is often seen collaborating with various new and upcoming brands across the globe. She recently connected with naetive studio, a UK-based company that makes custom handmade mugs as well as Bonpoint, a French luxury clothmaker for children. Both brands shared a few items from their lineup for Kelly and Penelope, along with a personalized note as their token of appreciation.
Piquet shared pictures and videos of the gifts on her Instagram stories.

"There is nowhere I'd rather be than with her" - Max Verstappen's girlfriend Kelly Piquet explains why she missed the 2024 New York Fashion Week
Kelly Piquet has been a constant companion for Max Verstappen at recent race weekends. The Brazilian model, who was expected to feature during the 2024 New York Fashion Week, canceled her appearance at the global fashion event.
Piquet penned down the reason for her absence at the star-studded show on her Instagram story.
"A lot of DMs asking why I'm not at NYFW and the short answer is: a very anxious little girl starts school today (!!!) and it was my utmost priority to stay with her during this very important time. There is nowhere I'd rather be than with her. As a single parent I can only rely on myself to make sure everything is prepared and organised, giving P the emotional support, even if it means saying no to multiple paying jobs and trips. That's a sacrifice as a parent that needs to be made and I will never think twice. There will always be another fashion week but there will never be another very first day of school," she wrote.
Apart from being a successful model and social media influencer, Kelly Piquet is also a single mother to Penelope (Her and Daniil Kvyat's daughter). The latter is often seen with Verstappen's family and also shares a close bond with the 3x F1 world champion.
