Bernie Ecclestone’s spouse has shared insights into how they manage raising their five-year-old child, despite their significant 46-year age gap. The ex-Formula One chief, now 95, and his 49-year-old partner reside in the peaceful Swiss town of Gstaad.
Their son was born in 2020 when Ecclestone was 89, marking a new phase in their lives after getting married eight years earlier. The family divides their time between the picturesque Swiss Alps and Fabiana’s native Brazil.
Flosi and Ecclestone have nurtured their son to be trilingual, with Ace fluent in Portuguese, English, and Swiss German, the latter learned at the International Preschool in Gstaad.
Discussing their parenting approach in a recent interview with Bild, Fabiana highlighted their teamwork in raising Ace, with Bernie’s calm demeanor and structure in setting limits, such as screen time regulations and the age for a first mobile phone.
Ecclestone, renowned for his influence in motorsport, expressed pride in Ace’s adaptability and potential, emphasizing the importance of treating the bright child accordingly.
Fabiana mentioned Ace’s early skiing prowess and his eclectic palate, particularly enjoying sushi. Ecclestone hopes to maintain a relatable connection with Ace despite the age gap, aiming to meet the child’s intellectual needs.
The age disparity between Ecclestone’s eldest child, Deborah, 70, and Ace, who has recently started school, is vast. Ecclestone preferred a low-key celebration with his family over a grand party, opting to spend time with Fabiana and Ace at their Brazilian ranch.
Ecclestone recently sold a yacht named after his daughters, Petra and Tamara, following minimal use as reported by Fabiana. Another yacht, owned by the Formula 1 figure, is also up for sale.
