A few days before their wedding in Saint-Tropez, Ralf Schumacher and his companion would have gone through some tensions. A very personal disagreement which would even have created a certain unease before this highly publicized weekend in the south of France.
Ralf Schumacher and Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne said oui This weekend in Saint-Tropez. The former Formula 1 driver and the ex-French politician celebrated their marriage during a highly publicized ceremony organized under the sun in the south of France. A union which comes less than two years after Ralf Schumacher’s coming out, made official in 2024. Surrounded by their loved ones, the couple launched three days of festivities in a particularly elegant atmosphere.
But before this ceremony, the couple had experienced some tensions around the wedding preparations. According to several German media, Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne decided to undergo a cosmetic operation before the event, a choice that Ralf Schumacher did not necessarily view very favorably. Despite this disagreement, the two men finally appeared very complicit throughout the celebrations. Their marriage will also be at the heart of the last episode of their documentary.Ralf & Etienne: We say yes (“Ralf and Étienne: we say yes”), broadcast on Sky and Wow.

This relative of Marine Le Pen present at the ceremony
Among the guests present in Saint-Tropez also included Steeve Briois, former vice-president of the National Front and then the National Rally and close to Marine Le Pen. A presence far from being insignificant since Ralf Schumacher’s husband had worked with him as a parliamentary attaché in 2014. Former running mates of Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne in Villeneuve-sur-Lot were also present during the ceremony.
The couple’s marriage also highlighted the very important role played by David Schumacher, the pilot’s son born from his former relationship with Cora Brinkmann. In the episodes of the documentary devoted to the preparations for the ceremony, the 24-year-old young man appears very invested in the organization of the wedding. It is in particular he who discusses with his father the choice of navy blue tuxedos chosen for the event. “There will be 110 people at the wedding. “One in two people will wear a navy blue suit.”he joked to his father. Very close to Ralf Schumacher, David was finally chosen as witness to this union.
Tensions now eased with his ex-wife
Since the formalization of their relationship, Ralf Schumacher and Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne have attracted strong media attention, particularly in Germany. The former pilot also remains regularly associated with his old story with Cora Brinkmann, whom he married in 2001 and with whom he had a son, David. After their separation, Cora publicly confided that she had the feeling of having been “utilize” during their marriage. Despite these highly publicized declarations, tensions seem to have eased today. After the couple’s engagement, Ralf Schumacher’s ex-wife even sent them a kind message, wishing them “lots of happiness”.
