Gina Maria Schumacher tied the knot with her long-time partner, Iain Bethke at the family luxury villa in Puerto De Andraitx, Mallorca on September 28, 2024 in an Ultra Private marriage ceremony.
The family purchased the villa from Real Madrid chairman Florentino Perez in 2017.
According to the Mirror, Iain and Gina went public with their relationship in December 2017, about seven years ago.
Iain also seems to be a horse enthusiast. However, not much is known about him or what he does. What we do know is that he studied at the Free Waldorf School in Heilbronn.
Gina was born in Germany on February 20, 1997, as the Schumacher family’s first child.
Born to Seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher and his Wife Corrina Schumacher, who is a successful western equestrian and an NRHA owner. She is also the sister of Formula 1 race driver Mick Schumacher.
She does have an impressive family! However, Gina Schumacher isn’t to be remembered as just Michael Schumacher’s daughter or as someone’s something. She has carved a name for herself and is in a league of her own.
According to the CS-Ranch EU, she is the “…..freshly minted NRHA Million Dollar Rider Gina-Maria Schumacher, whose latest wins included not only the Level 4 Non-Pro Championship at this year’s 6666 NRHA Derby presented by Markel but also two additional spots within the top five.”
Her Instagram bio mentions, “The starting point of all achievement is desire 💥” highlighting her convictions as an athlete and as an individual.
Her mother introduced her to horse riding early on. At the age of nine, she was already participating in her first reining competition.
Impressive! isn’t she?
Their family of four seems to love and support each other. This family has kept Michael Schumacher strong even after his 2013 Skiing accident.
Michael, then 44, sustained a life-changing brain injury that left everyone heartbroken.
Corinna Schumacher spoke publically, notifying everyone that,
“Michael always protected us and now we are protecting Michael. What he really didn’t like was the press, the people, all the hype around him. That’s not what he wanted. He wanted to do the sport. Michael is very suspicious. He always has been, during the initial period. Until he thinks he knows someone or can trust them, then he opens up completely.”
This is some news that I’m DELIGHTED about
