During his Formula 1 races, Carlos Sainz keeps his girlfriend Rebecca Donaldson close at hand.
The Scottish model and the Spanish driver, who is presently racing in Formula One for Ferrari, were originally connected after they were sighted together in Italy during the summer of 2023.
Although they haven’t disclosed their relationship to the public, the couple has experienced romantic outings full of PDA, and Donaldson has also cheered Sainz on at racing events.
The racer once dated Isa Hernáez, a Spanish journalist. Hernáez revealed the couple’s breakup in the early summer of 2023, although they had started dating in 2016. Sainz and Donaldson were spotted hanging around shortly after.
Who is the girlfriend of Carlos Sainz, then? This is all the information you need to know about Rebecca Donaldson’s connection to the Formula One driver.
Her native country is Scotland.
Donaldson attended the esteemed Perth Academy and is originally from the Scottish town of Scone.
The school states on its website that it “may be the oldest school in Scotland” and that it “can trace its origins to the Grammar School established in Perth in the twelfth century by the Benedictine monks of Dunfermline Abbey.”
She works as a model.
Donaldson, a model based in the UK, is signed to Brand Model Management at the moment. She has appeared on the covers of Marie Claire México and Vogue Ukraine. She has also made appearances in various editorials on beauty and fashion.
According to Donaldson, her mother entered her in a beauty pageant when she was seventeen, and that’s how her career got started.
“My mom entered me, and I was really surprised when I found out,” Donaldson said in a 2011 interview with the Daily Record. “We had to practice catwalk-style dances in rehearsals before performing in front of four judges.”
Donaldson participated in the reality series Top Model UK after winning the Face of 2011 competition. Donaldson commented, “My family was very pleased for me, they were jumping around and stuff!” after learning of her victory.
In June 2023, she was first observed with Sainz.
Sainz and Donaldson were first spotted together in Milan in June 2023, according to a post on Matthew J. Thompson’s X (formerly Twitter) account. However, they didn’t exhibit any PDA.
Fans appeared to validate their romance two months later when the pair was photographed together once more on an Amsterdam golf course, according to Essentially Sports.
It appears that Donaldson has also had the opportunity to meet Sainz’s family. According to Essentially Sports, the model walked a runway during Madrid Fashion Week in February 2024, and members of the Sainz family, including his mother Reyes and sisters Ana and Blanca, were in the audience.
She started a sportswear business.
Donaldson started her apparel line, Muse Activewear, in October 2020 while the country was under lockdown due to COVID-19.
In an interview with Vestd from 2021, she stated, “I was feeling a little purposeless during lockdown for many days and hours.” “So, I made the decision to follow my dream of launching a clothing line.”
