David Schumacher, the nephew of legendary Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, has recently gotten engaged to Vivien Keszthelyi. The couple, who met through a mutual acquaintance and have been in a relationship for several years, shared the joyful news on social media during the weekend.
David, who competed in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for the HRT Ford Performance team, popped the question to the Hungarian racer while they were on a romantic getaway in the Maldives.
In a post on Instagram, the 24-year-old expressed his happiness, stating, “She said yes. The ocean bore witness to our love, and the sunset sealed our promise. 05.11.2025.” Vivien also expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of well-wishes and support from friends and followers.
Among those congratulating the couple was David’s father, Ralf, a former Formula 1 race victor. Ralf, who himself has had a successful career in motorsport, was one of the first to show his approval by liking the post, which garnered over 20,000 likes. Notably, David’s older brother, Michael, suffered a tragic skiing accident in 2013 that left him requiring constant medical care at home.
Michael, a seven-time world champion, spent an extensive period in a medically induced coma before being able to return home. Dr. Jussi Posti, a neurosurgeon closely following Schumacher’s case, shared insights on his health condition, suggesting that Michael has likely been in a stable state for the past decade.
In a candid interview in a Netflix documentary released in 2021, Michael’s wife, Corinna, reflected on the accident and its impact on their family. She recounted Michael’s words before the incident and expressed the ongoing void his absence has left in their lives.
Mick Schumacher, Michael’s son, also shared his sentiments in the documentary, highlighting the profound impact of the accident on their relationship and the shared passion they had for motorsport.
As the Schumacher family continues to navigate the challenges stemming from Michael’s accident, their resilience and unity remain evident in the face of adversity.
