Criticized for being “only” the wife of Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, the 23-year-old young woman responded to her detractors in a long message shared on Instagram.
Unknown to the general public until three years ago, the influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux suddenly found herself in the spotlight after the formalization of her relationship with F1 driver Charles Leclerc in the summer of 2023, at Wimbledon. Each of his appearances on the paddock became an event commented on by thousands of people on social networks. This attention has increased since the 23-year-old model married the athlete on February 28, 2026 in Monaco, in the sublime La Vigie villa.
“I’m just trying to be a good person”
If Alexandra Leclerc obviously benefits from the advantages of this new celebrity, she also suffers the consequences, with recurring criticism of her status as “woman of”. At the beginning of May, a user violently attacked her in the comments of photos from her weekend at the Miami F1 Grand Prix, saying that she would be “nothing” without her husband.

Alexandra Leclerc is simply proud to be who she is. “That’s who I am as his wife, too, and there’s nothing wrong with that. We are not all destined to become a singer, doctor, actor or athlete, and that in no way diminishes the value of a person,” she continues, before concluding just as calmly and philosophically: “Who we are as a person, how we treat others and what we choose to do with our free time, however, defines this value. “To meditate!”
Alexandra Leclerc’s life is not limited to her husband’s activities. Before their meeting, the model of Argentinian and Mexican origins studied art history at the École du Louvre in Paris. She then worked as an assistant at the Hôtel des Ventes de Monte-Carlo, an auction house. At the time, she was already sharing her daily life as a young polyglot woman, passionate about art and fashion, on social networks.
