The brother of the famous Formula 1 racer Michael Schumacher (55), Ralf (49), recently announced to fans that he is gay. She and her French friend Etienne have been a couple for two years.
The former Formula 1 racer kept his homosexual orientation hidden for a long time, the world of motorsport is not as open in this regard as, for example, the art industry. Now Ralf no longer hides even from the photographers who captured him alongside his partner on his private yacht in Saint Tropez.
Ralf and Etienne only had eyes for each other, there were romantic hugs and passionate kisses. Ralf also invited his son David (22) and his girlfriend to the yacht. And it was his son who fully supported him in his coming out. “I’m so glad you finally found someone you really feel comfortable and safe with. I’m 100% behind you dad and I wish you all the best and congratulations,” he texted him.
Ralf’s ex-wife Cora (47), on the other hand, cannot breathe her ex-husband’s “new life”. Although they divorced nine years ago, she feels betrayed and settles scores with Ralf through the media.
“It’s a huge pain in my heart, I feel taken advantage of. Robbed of her best years. Was he being honest with me? And most importantly, did he love me at all?” Cora said, among other things, in an interview with Der Spiegel.
In addition, she called Ralf a wretch because he published her private conversation with Etienne, from which it was obvious that she already knew about Ralf’s relationship at least last year. But until recently, she claimed that she had no idea about anything and talked about betrayal.
Apparently, it doesn’t add to Cora that she doesn’t get along very well with her son David, who, on the other hand, is “one hand” with dad Ralf. At the weekend, for example, they raced together in the Prototype Cup at the Nürburgring.
