Bernie Ecclestone’s wife recently discussed how they handle parenting their young son, despite their significant age gap. The former head of Formula One, now 95 years old, and his 49-year-old spouse reside in the serene Swiss village of Gstaad.
Their son was born in 2020 when Ecclestone was 89, ushering in a new phase in their lives after being married for eight years. The family divides their time between the picturesque Swiss Alps and Fabiana’s native Brazil.
The couple has raised their son to be trilingual, with Ace fluent in Portuguese from his mother, English from his father, and Swiss German from attending the International Preschool in Gstaad.
In a recent interview with Bild, Fabiana shared insights into their parenting dynamic, emphasizing teamwork in raising Ace. Ecclestone, renowned for his F1 legacy, expressed admiration for his son’s intelligence and potential, highlighting Ace’s versatile skills and positive attitude.
Fabiana mentioned Ace’s early interest in skiing and his diverse palate, with sushi being his favorite dish. Ecclestone expressed his hopes of being a relatable figure to Ace, emphasizing the importance of treating his son with respect and understanding.
Despite the age gap between Ecclestone’s eldest daughter, Deborah, and Ace, who has just started school, the family maintains a close bond. Ecclestone prioritizes quality time with his wife and son, opting for a low-key celebration at his Brazilian ranch over a lavish party.
Ecclestone recently sold a yacht named after his daughters due to infrequent use, with plans to sell another smaller yacht. Additionally, Sky has announced discounted TV and sports bundles for the upcoming season, offering an extensive selection of live matches across various leagues.
