Michael Schumacher’s nephew David and his wife Vivien have announced they are expecting their first child together following their marriage in February.

The racing driver, son of six-time Formula 1 race-winner Ralf Schumacher, shared the news via social media.

His spouse, a former competitor in the W Series and Formula 3 under her maiden name Vivien Keszthelyi, featured in an Instagram photograph alongside baby booties and a teddy bear.

Social media announcement

The couple revealed the pregnancy against a mountainous backdrop in a post shared with their combined following of over 150,000 fans.

“Love made us two, life is making us three.”

The joyful news arrives during a highly celebratory period for the wider German motorsport dynasty.

Recent family milestones

Just two months ago, David’s father Ralf married his partner Etienne in a ceremony held in Saint-Tropez.

The 49-year-old became one of the most high-profile motorsport figures to come out as gay when he confirmed the relationship.

His former wife Cora, who separated from the six-time Grand Prix winner in 2014, publicly offered her congratulations to the newlyweds.

Maintaining a private life

This string of positive personal updates provides a bright moment for a family that has fiercely guarded its privacy for more than a decade.

Michael Schumacher, the legendary seven-time world champion, sustained life-altering head injuries during a skiing accident in December 2013.

The 55-year-old Ferrari icon continues to receive round-the-clock care from a dedicated medical team at his home near Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
