The future newlyweds revealed their engagement with a post that quickly attracted attention and warm reactions from fans across the motorsport world.
As happened with Charles Leclerc a few months ago, the Thai driver chose social media to share the joyful moment. The Williams driver, who wears car number 23, met the professional golfer online in 2019. Since then, Lily Muni He has been a familiar presence in the Formula 1 paddock, attending numerous races and often being spotted in the team’s hospitality area, always elegant and smiling.

Two years later, she met the man who will soon become her husband.

Albon set to marry
After seven years together, Alex Albon asked Lily Muni He to marry him. With a social media post, the engaged couple shared the news with all their fans, receiving thousands of congratulatory messages from the Formula 1 community and beyond.

At the moment, only two drivers on the grid are already married, Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez. However, more happy announcements could arrive in the future, with several drivers having been in long-term relationships, such as George Russell, while Max Verstappen has recently become a father.
Leclerc himself had jokingly put pressure on the Williams driver during the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend, showing him his ring and saying, “I’ve put you under pressure now.” Just three months after that joke, Alex Albon and Lily Muni He confirmed their engagement with a photo on Instagram. “I think we’re stuck with each other now ❤️😊” reads the caption under the post.
