coming out - Ralf Schumacher shows himself with his friend
The rumors that Ralf Schumacher is homosexual have been circulating for a long time. But now the ex-racer himself admits it: "The most beautiful thing in life is having the right partner by your side, with whom you can share everything." he writes in an Instagram post showing him arm in arm with a man. They are looking at the sunset from a boat.
Reality-TV-Star Carmen Geiss revealed more details in a comment on the post: "You have the best partner Etienne that one can only imagine. After 2 years, you can finally show your love to the world."
At least for Schumacher's friends, the coming-out seems to be no surprise. Previously, the 49-year-old was married to Cora Schumacher from 2001 to 2015, but they had been living apart since 2009. Their son David, who is 22 and also a racer like his father Ralf, celebrated his first win at the ADAC GT Masters on Saturday. Schumacher's Instagram account also congratulated him on the victory.
Ralf Schumacher's partner Etienne, who is celebrated for being the best one could imagine, often joins him on Ralf's Instagram posts, further showcasing their shared love for life. Despite being a renowned race driver, Ralf's openness about his sexuality has not affected the supportive camaraderie he shares with his fellow partner in the racing circuit, including his son David, who recently celebrated a major win.
