Max Verstappen's girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, recently posted pictures of her daughter, Penelope Kvyat, playing around in the snow. Piquet and her daughter were spotted enjoying their winter holidays up in the mountains near a snowy skiing valley.
After the FIA Awards Ceremony, where Max Verstappen received the drivers' championship trophy for the fourth time, the F1 season officially concluded. F1 drivers and teams went on their Christmas holidays to relax and reset for the next year.
Most recently, Kelly Piquet has been posting several pictures related to Christmas and her holidays with and also without Max Verstappen. The Brazilian shared a few pictures of her Christmas party with close ones, her partner, and her daughter Penelope.
On December 26, 2024, she dumped a collection of pictures on her Instagram stories showing where she was enjoying the winter holidays and how Penelope thoroughly enjoyed playing in the snow.
Kelly Piquet posted two pictures of her daughter playing in the snow, tagging Bonpoint in one of them, which is a French luxury fashion brand for kids. In another picture, the 36-year-old's daughter was sitting in the hotel room on the bed while eating something and looking elsewhere.
Penelope Kvyat is the daughter of Kelly Piquet and former Red Bull F1 driver Daniil Kvyat. Before partnering with Max Verstappen, Piquet was in a relationship with Kvyat. They had Penelope in 2019 but decided to split a year later. Piquet then bonded with Verstappen and officially started seeing him.
Since 2020, the Brazilian model has been with the Red Bull star and has constantly supported him through his road to dominance in 2021 and beyond. In several Grand Prixs, Piquet was also joined by Penelope, who cheered for Verstappen.
Recently, Kelly Piquet and Max Verstappen officially announced that they were going to have a baby together as well.
