When did they start dating?

Charles and Charlotte met when they were teenagers, with the former student's mum living next door to the Leclerc family.

But they didn't start officially dating until 2019, when he started driving for the Ferrari team.

Charlotte shared Instagram posts of the pair together after they hooked up.

Why did they break up?

The demands of being an F1 driver — and no doubt dating one — can take a toll on many relationships.
