The story of Michael Schumacher, who celebrated his next birthday these days, is like something out of a fairy tale. Not only in his sports career, but also in his private life…
Michael Schumacher’s wife stands by her husband to this day
She was 22 years old when her life turned upside down. And that’s only because a mutual acquaintance introduced her to the charming racer, Michael Schumacher. At that time, Corinna, as a former athlete, saw the potential in her boyfriend, but she did not anticipate the fame that awaited him.
After all, even Michael himself did not anticipate her. He took it as a negative aspect of doing what he loves. “He hated the media and photographers, he didn’t want fame. He just wanted to do the sport he loves.” those closest to Schumacher said in a documentary that premiered on Netflix a year ago. It was Corinna who gave the documentary authenticity and at the same time a unique insight into the athlete’s private life. Together with his parents, she stood by the competitor through the good and the bad. And that for 28 years.

She gave up her life
At the time when Corinna and Michael started to form a couple, the athlete’s career was just taking off. Even then, however, it was clear that he was a new, rising star in Germany. However, he conquered other countries quite quickly, making him the darling of the world.
Even the female audience. However, this did not impress Schumacher and he continued to focus on his two priorities: his career and his relationship with Corinna. In 1995, five years after they met, the couple said yes. Footage from the beautiful wedding was also published in the above-mentioned film.
“Michael was still among the last to leave. While he was racing for the Ferrari team, he was in meetings until ten in the evening. We never went out for a good dinner in a restaurant during this period. We sat in the tent the whole time. I waited, then we ate pasta together, talked and then he went away again, to another meeting, then he came back again. But I was grateful for every minute we spent together,” she stated for the film Corinna, adding that she stood by her husband constantly. Even if she was not seen. She didn’t always wait among the spectators, sometimes she found her place with the team or behind the scenes, where she patiently observed everything.

She never regretted it. Michael was an attentive man, with whom she knew from the first moment that he was the one. He expressed not only love to her, but also respect and support.
He stands by him even in bad times
The name Schumacher has become legendary over the years. Just as the name Senna was once synonymous with speed (editor’s note, an F1 racer who died tragically, but was considered the best of the time), for many years it was Schumacher.
Today, with the new generation, other racers are in the limelight, but the German athlete is not forgotten. Perhaps also because his time in retirement was marked by an unfortunate event that almost cost him his life.

10 unhappy years since the accident
It was December 29, 2012, when Schumacher went skiing with his then only 13-year-old son. However, he unfortunately fell while skiing – hitting his head on a rock. If he hadn’t been wearing a helmet, he probably wouldn’t have survived the fall. Nevertheless, he suffered serious injuries and was immediately taken to a French hospital, where he underwent several operations. Since then, he remained in a waking coma and his state of health was a mystery to the public. There were only a few speculations, which the family declined to comment on. They respect that Michael never wanted publicity – and it wouldn’t be any different now that he has celebrated his 55th birthday.
Corinne had new responsibilities from day to day. As stated in the article The Mirror, the athlete’s wife must also manage a multimillion-dollar company. At the same time, he also decides who can see Michael. According to media reports, she only allowed very few people to her husband except her immediate family.

The first interview that Schumacher was supposed to give after the terrible accident even appeared in public recently. As it turned out later, it was an article created by artificial intelligence. Corinna filed a criminal complaint against the medium. The only reliable – and especially real update on the athlete’s condition was given by herself, through the document:
“We are together. We live together at home. We have therapies. We are doing everything we can to make Michael better, to make sure he feels comfortable and part of our family, our bond. No matter what, I’ll still do my best. We all will. Michael still protected us. Now we protect him.
