On September 28, 2024, the family villa in Majorca was the setting for a joyous yet secretive event. Gina Schumacher, the eldest daughter of the legendary Formula 1 driver, said “I do” to her partner Iain Bethke, in a ceremony where privacy was paramount.
Upon arrival, guests were asked to hand over their cell phones. This strict instruction was dictated by a fierce desire to preserve the family’s privacy and, above all, to prevent any photos of Michael Schumacher from leaking out. Since his serious skiing accident in 2013, the former champion has lived in seclusion, jealously protected by his family.

Despite the serious injuries sustained in his fall, it is highly likely that Michael Schumacher attended the wedding, according to close friends. However, no images of him have been released, in accordance with the privacy measures requested by his daughter. The ceremony also brought together Mick Schumacher, the young F1 driver, and Corinna Schumacher, the wife of the seven-time world champion, who was always by his side. Ralf Schumacher, the bride’s uncle, was also present, highlighting the importance of the day for the entire family.
