David Schumacher, the nephew of legendary Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, has recently announced his engagement to Vivien Keszthelyi. The couple, who met through a mutual friend and have been in a relationship for several years, shared the happy news on social media last weekend.
David, who competed in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for the HRT Ford Performance team, proposed to Vivien while they were on a romantic trip to the Maldives.
Posting on Instagram, the 24-year-old shared, “She said yes. The ocean witnessed our love, and the sunset sealed our promise. 05.11.2025.” Vivien expressed her gratitude for all the well-wishes and support from their followers.
Among those who showed their support was David’s father, Ralf, a former Formula 1 race winner, who was one of the first to like the engagement announcement that garnered over 20,000 likes. Michael Schumacher, David’s uncle, suffered a severe head injury in a skiing accident in 2013 and now requires constant medical care at home.
Providing an update on Michael’s condition, Neurosurgeon Dr. Jussi Posti mentioned that it seems Michael has been mostly confined to a hospital-like setting at home for the past decade.
In a Netflix documentary released in 2021, Michael’s wife, Corinna, shared insights into his life post-accident and expressed how much they miss him on a daily basis. Mick Schumacher, the son of Michael, also reflected on the impact of the accident, highlighting the void it has created in their family’s dynamics.
