Marco Andretti’s girlfriend Billie Jo makes her feelings known in 'sweet' Christmas update

Marco Andretti's girlfriend Billie Jo Powers shared a heartwarming update from the family's Christmas in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It was their three-month-old daughter, Miura's first time ringing in the holiday celebrations since her arrival on September 18.

Billie shared a few photos from their day out in Nazareth on Instagram on Friday, December 20. Marco, dressed in white, and his girlfriend, wearing a solid black turtleneck sweatshirt, complemented each other's outfits. Miura donned a white and pink onesie and a white bow-adorned bandana headband with her name written on it in gold. Billie captioned the post:

"🤍❤️Christmas just got a whole lot sweeter❤️🤍"

Nazareth commenced the Christmas celebrations on Friday, December 13 with the iconic tree-lighting ceremony in the Center Circle. Around 2500 out of the total 6000-odd residents, were present in the festivities.

Earlier this month, Billie and Marco shared a series of photos from their six-bedroom Nazareth mansion overlooking the picturesque borough named after the biblical town of Nazareth in Israel. Miura was the center of attention in an Instagram post that was captioned:

"Officially Christmas movie szn❄️"

When Marco Andretti turned into Santa and brought cheer to Indianapolis’ Riley Hospital for Children patients

In 2016, Marco Andretti visited the Riley Hospital for Children patients to amplify the Christmas spirit for sick children. The third-gen Andretti, who then raced full-time for his family-owned team, Andretti Autosport, was dressed in his red-and-white race suit during the visit.

He interacted with 20 children between the ages of two to 12, played some air hockey, and video games, and signed autographs. After his visit, he felt like a changed man. Andretti said (via IndyCar):

"Perspective. It grounds you and puts you in touch with what’s important in life, and just gratitude for our health and everything we have because it’s so sad to see what these kids go through. But they’re as tough as nails. It’s admirable actually, what they endure."

"I’m just very fortunate to be in a position to make somebody’s day if I can. I definitely don’t do enough of it; I’ll be doing more of this. I’m glad hhgregg (his racing sponsor) had me come out and do this, especially during the holidays, the time of giving. I’m fortunate to do that in a city that’s given me so much."

Since 2021, Marco Andretti has retired from full-time IndyCar racing. He only competes in the Indy 500 each year with Andretti Global.
