Fernando Alonso (41) has a new girlfriend and is a journalist. Neither of these two things seems to be a novelty anymore. The Aston Martin driver is dating Melissa Jiménez (35), the journalist who is in charge of covering Formula 1 information on Dazn and everything indicates that it was in the paddock where love arose.
LOC made it known exclusively on March 11 that Alonso and the Austrian journalist Andrea Schlager had broken off their relationship. Shortly after, specifically on April 3, they themselves announced the news in a “communiqué” released through social networks. “We wanted to let you know that our relationship as a couple has ended. We have been very lucky to have been able to share a fantastic time together, and it will continue to be, but with a different kind of affection. As you have probably seen, we have continued to work together on various projects as well. during this time, and we will continue to do so with deep love and mutual respect. We thought it was appropriate to share this as all of you have been very supportive. Thank you for that. Love, Fer
For her part, Melissa Jiménez married soccer player Marc Bartra in 2017, a relationship that ended in 2022 and from which the couple’s three children were born: Gala, Abril and Max. After ending their marriage, the player began dating Jessica Goicoechea and Melissa Jiménez with the comedian Dani Martínez. The mamarazzi, Laura Fa and Lorena Vázquez, were in charge of giving some details about the breakup of Jiménez and Martínez. Apparently, Melissa would have resorted to WhatsApp to end their relationship, so the comedian would not be going through her best moment.
Back to the sentimental life of Fernando Alonso, you can see the predilection of Aston Martin for journalists. Melissa is the third woman in this profession that has caught Alonso’s attention. One of the main reasons for this “chance” is that in the end Alonso and the journalists share many hours of work in the paddock. The first sports journalist that the Asturian pilot noticed was Lara Álvarez. She, also from Asturias, shared a passion for Formula 1 with him but the distance ended up taking its toll on her relationship, which ended in 2016. Lara presented Survivors and her recurring trips to Honduras did not help to strengthen her courtship with Fernando.
The second on Alonso’s particular journalistic list is the aforementioned Andrea Schlager, with whom he began to be associated in 2022. A year later, the pilot is together with Melissa Jiménez. The journalist, who was born in Belgium and who will soon celebrate her 36th birthday, has become the couple of the most famous Formula 1 driver in our country. Another of his known couples, in addition to Marc Bartra, was the singer Dani Martín. Melissa studied Journalism in Barcelona and later moved to Madrid to start working with MarcaTV. A year later, she went to Italy with SKY to broadcast the bikes. In 2013 she returns to Spain to work with Mediaset to cover motorcycling as well and currently Formula 1 on Dazn.
