Max Verstappen's girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, shared her reaction to American actress Chelsea Handler's Instagram reel video. In the video, the actress talked about her book and revealed how she avoided writing negatively.
Verstappen, a four-time F1 world champion, is expecting his first child with longtime girlfriend Piquet. The couple announced in Abu Dhabi last year that they were going to be parents in the first quarter of 2025.
Kelly Piquet announced her pregnancy through a joint social media post and has been sharing her journey with fans since then. She went on multiple trips with Verstappen and family to spend leisure time before welcoming the baby.
Moreover, recently, Piquet reposted an Instagram reel of American comedian and actress Chelsea Handler. In the video, Handler revealed that she avoids writing anything negative, as negativity is contagious.
"I'm never going to put negativity in writing. Like when my publicists send me a list of podcasts, I won't even say, 'I don't want to do one.' I'd say, 'I'd like to do this, this, and this,'' Handler said.
Meanwhile, Kelly Piquet reacted to the reel as she reposted it on her Instagram handle and dropped a three-word reaction:
"@chelseahandler ❤️"

A few weeks back, Kelly Piquet shared that she is entering her third trimester, meaning the baby could be born in the first quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, during the F175 event in London, Max Verstappen dropped a hint on the timeline of his baby's arrival.
Talking to the media, Verstappen said (via GP Blog):
"Not before the start of the season. During the season. I'm relaxed about it—it’ll be fine. [I am]relaxed. Of course, it helps that you have already got some things. Just, of course, it's exciting."
Meanwhile, Verstappen is already on duty as he arrived in Bahrain for a three-day pre-season test that began on February 26. The test will go on until February 28 before the teams head for a small break to apply their learnings from the test.
The 2025 F1 season will begin on March 16 in Melbourne, with the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.
