In a recent interview, Kelly Piquet, the girlfriend of Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, has spoken frankly about the challenges she experiences due to the absence of Max because of his racing obligations. Kelly, who is often seen on her friend’s circuits and events, indicated that the constant absence of Max is emotionally heavy for her, especially now that they raise their daughter, Lily, together.

“It’s hard,” said Kelly. “Max is often gone for races and that means that I only spend a lot of time with Lily. It’s not always easy, but I try to be as strong as possible for her. We miss Max enormously, but we know he does what he prefers to do.”

Kelly also emphasized how important it is for her to support Max’s career, despite the challenges of motherhood and the distance it entails. “Max is a great father, and even if he is not physical, he takes care of us in his own way. We talk to each other every day, and I know he always thinks about us,” she added.

What was even more surprising was the way Kelly spoke about the current situation of Baby Lily. De Kleine Lily is now a few months old, and Kelly gave an update about her health and development. “Lily is doing fantastic,” said Kelly with a smile. “She grows fast and is a cheerful girl. We try to spend as much time with her as possible, and Max is always as happy as he can see her again, even if it is via video calling.”

The conversation ended with Kelly who emphasized how important it is for parents to support each other in the challenges of parenting. “It’s not always easy, but we do our best and take care of each other. Lily is our priority, and we want to give her a happy and healthy life.”

Although Max Verstappen is currently busy with his Formula 1 obligations, it seems that Kelly and Max can keep their balance between career and family life well. The support of Max for Kelly and Lily, despite the physical distance, shows the strong bond that the family shares.

This candid interview offers fans a glimpse into the personal life of the Verstappen family, and it is clear that they always give their love and support for each other priority, even in the midst of busy schemes and global events.
