Highlights from Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet’s 2025 moments

A day earlier, Kelly Piquet had summed up the year gone by in a heartfelt Instagram post. She gave birth to her and Verstappen’s first child together, a baby girl Lily, in May. The couple also moved to a new house, and Piquet became an aunt after her brother Nelson Piquet Jr welcomed a newborn.
Summing up the year with a bunch of memorable pictures, she wrote, “2025. A year of big changes. Welcoming my second baby, a new home, Nino’s arrival, not one but TWO very special baby showers, my second Vogue cover, unforgettable moments with family and friends, exciting work opportunities… as well as challenges, exhaustion, and growth. Closing the year grateful, a little tired, and ready for 2026.”

The pictures included glimpses of her pregnant belly, breastfeeding Lily, and posing with her and Verstappen’s families, among others.
Max Verstappen had a decent year, which ended with him losing out on his fifth F1 World Championship title to Lando Norris by just two points. He wasn’t expecting to challenge for the title in the early part of the year but caught up with the McLaren drivers in the latter half of the season.
