Ralf Schumacher, former Formula 1 star, is in a happy relationship with his partner, Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne. They shared their happiness in an interview with the German television station RTL. The partner of Michael Schumacher's brother did not hide his surprise at his beloved's coming out.

Now, a few weeks after the fact, I feel an indescribable relief, he recalled from a conversation with RTL.

The information about Ralf Schumacher's relationship with Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne was made public on July 24, 2024.

- I am close to Ralf, and his confession surprised me. I had some fear before that, adds the former Formula 1 driver's partner.

Schumacher describes himself and his partner as people of similar character, emphasizing their conservatism, calm disposition, and kindness. We have similar characters. We are conservatives, extremely calm, and kind. All of this connects us, says the 49-year-old former driver.
