Max Verstappen on his relationship with his partner's daughter, Penelope
Since Max Verstappen is currently with Kelly Piquet, he frequently spends time with her daughter Penelope. A few years after her birth, her parents separated, and her mother began a relationship with Verstappen.
Speaking about his relationship with Penelope last year, he clarified that he is not the father figure in her life and emphasized how important it is for her to have a good relationship with her real father, Daniil Kvyat. Speaking to Time, he said:
“I’m not the father, that’s not the aim," he said. "It’s always very important that she has a good relationship with her own father, which she has. But I see her every day when I’m at home. We get on very well. She’s very cute.”
The Red Bull star has been seen in several pictures with Penelope. The little one has even appeared in some of Verstappen's livestreams when he was racing with Redline.
