Carmen Geiss is the source of various information about the most important celebrity story of the week. She and her husband Robert are good friends with Ralf Schumacher, and Carmen was the one who knew the most about the relationship: reportedly, Schumacher and the Frenchman Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne have been a couple for over two years, they have never argued, and "the two are sensationally happy, always. There was never a fight or dispute," said Geiss to "Bild Zeitung".
Besides details about the relationship, Schumacher's partner is now in the spotlight. Carmen revealed that they met in Monaco. "They have lived in Monaco, Ralf lives in Salzburg with his son, Etienne lives in Nice. The two are often together," she also told "Bild". The quick facts: Bousquet-Cassagne is French, 34 years old, and thus 15 years younger than his partner. He works as General Manager of Schumacher, in other words, he runs the business of the former Formula 1 star.
Monaco, Salzburg, Nice, along with Instagram photos from various hotspots such as Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Brazil, Croatia, Sicily, Switzerland, Miami, and Hungary: Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne seems to lead a jet-setting life. With his 12,000 followers, he happily shares impressions of travels. Good food, a glass of wine, sports, and above all animal love, are all topics that regularly appear in public postings and for which he apparently stands. However, Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne has a side that is less light-hearted and carefree.
Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne between a light life and politics
Besides the light life, he is politically active. According to the French medium "La Depêche", he was politically active for 13 years with the Front National, the French right-wing populist party of Marine Le Pen. Various photo agencies have numerous photos of Etienne at political campaign events. He was also featured on campaign posters, for example, in 2013, where he campaigned for "another voice" and the party of Marine Le Pen. The connection can also be found on Instagram.
When going through the list of people whom Schumacher's friend follows on Instagram, it stands out that he follows the French movement Rassemblement National and Marine Le Pen herself. In addition, one finds the former First Lady Melania Trump and a right-wing student organization. According to "T-Online", he also liked a post from the French neo-Nazi Stanislas Rigault, who expressed solidarity with Rigault after he was banned from speaking at a university.
Politics was likely instilled in him by his father. Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne is the son of Serge Bousquet-Cassagne, the President of the Agricultural Chamber of Lot-et-Garonne and Chairman of the Rural Coordination. The online portal "Queer" writes that the political career of Schumacher's partner began early. Already at the age of 17, he joined the party and only ten years later became the youngest candidate in the national parliamentary elections of the former Front National. He was also the party secretary in the department of Lot-et-Garonne and was elected to the city and regional councils. In 2020, he left and ended his political career with the statement that there would be "changes in his professional life".
Ralf Schumacher and his partner already wear rings.

However, their closer environment reportedly told the newspaper: They are friendship rings, but not wedding rings. Ralf and Étienne are not married, they wear the identical jewelry as a sign of their connection.
