Formula 1 fans have long been captivated by Naomi Schiff, the charismatic Sky Sports F1 presenter whose charm, wit, and racing pedigree have made her a standout figure in motorsport broadcasting. But while rumors have swirled about a special connection with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, it’s a dashing Frenchman, Alexandre Dedieu, who truly captured her heart. As Naomi prepares to embrace motherhood and continues to shine at the 2025 British Grand Prix, we dive into the love story that’s got everyone talking—and the surprising similarities between her husband and the F1 legend who’s been her staunch supporter.
A Love Story Born Off the Track
Naomi Schiff, 31, with her Rwandan-Belgian heritage and South African upbringing, has always been a force to be reckoned with. A former professional racing driver, she swapped the driver’s seat for the Sky Sports F1 microphone, where her insights and infectious energy have won over fans worldwide. But in 2024, it was her personal life that took center stage when she tied the knot with Alexandre Dedieu, a Frenchman who’s remained largely out of the public eye—until now.
The couple celebrated their love with two ceremonies last year, as reported by The Express. In September, they exchanged vows in a modest civil union, with Naomi sharing her joy on Instagram: “Officially Mr. & Mrs. ‘Oui’ was never in doubt, it’s always been you.” The intimate moment was followed by a lavish wedding celebration, where Naomi stunned in a white gown and long veil, posting: “From unforgettable moments to cherished memories, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more.” Fans were thrilled, flooding her posts with congratulations as she glowed with love.
But the surprises didn’t end there. Shortly after their nuptials, Naomi revealed she was expecting their first child, unveiling her baby bump in a heartwarming Instagram clip captioned, “Been keeping the tiniest little secret.” As she gears up for maternity leave, Naomi’s fans are buzzing with excitement about her next chapter—both as a mother and as a motorsport maven.
The Hamilton Connection: More Than Meets the Eye?
For years, fans have speculated about Naomi’s close bond with Lewis Hamilton, the F1 icon who’s no stranger to the spotlight. Their connection dates back to Naomi’s early days in motorsport, and Hamilton has been a vocal supporter of her transition to broadcasting. In 2022, when a skeptic on social media questioned Naomi’s qualifications for her Sky Sports role, suggesting her hiring wasn’t based on her racing experience, Hamilton leapt to her defense. “Naomi is an ex-professional racing driver & totally qualified to give her opinion as part of the Sky team,” he tweeted. “She’s been a great asset since joining & we should welcome more representative broadcasting with open arms.”
The public defense sparked rumors of a deeper connection, with some fans wondering if there was more to their relationship. After all, Hamilton, known for his charm and charisma, has often been linked to high-profile figures. But while their bond is undeniable—built on mutual respect and shared passion for racing—it’s Alexandre Dedieu who holds Naomi’s heart.
Who Is Alexandre Dedieu?
So, who is the man who outraced the rumor mill to win Naomi’s love? Alexandre Dedieu, a Frenchman with a low-key presence, is described by those close to the couple as a supportive and grounded partner. While little is known about his professional life—Naomi has kept details private to shield him from the media frenzy—sources say he shares her love for adventure and high-octane experiences. Friends of the couple have hinted that Alexandre’s calm demeanor balances Naomi’s vibrant energy, making them a perfect match.
Surprisingly, Alexandre shares some striking similarities with Lewis Hamilton. Both men are deeply passionate about their respective fields, with a drive to excel that mirrors Naomi’s own ambition. Like Hamilton, Alexandre is said to have a strong sense of loyalty and a knack for standing by Naomi through thick and thin. Insiders reveal that Alexandre, much like Hamilton, has a love for fast cars and an appreciation for the motorsport world, which has helped him connect with Naomi on a profound level. “They bond over their shared adrenaline rush,” a friend told us. “Alexandre gets the racing world, and that’s a big part of why they clicked.”
A Balancing Act: Love, Career, and Motherhood
As Naomi prepares to welcome her first child, she’s juggling her high-flying career with her personal life. The 2025 F1 season, with its grueling 24-race schedule, means Naomi will cover 12 races for Sky Sports, splitting duties with a talented roster of presenters. During an Instagram Q&A, she explained, “The @skysportsf1 on-screen team is pretty big. So, it’s about being able to split races amongst everyone both numbers-wise but also geographically.” Her sporadic absences have sparked curiosity, but Naomi’s commitment to her craft remains unwavering.
Fans have noticed her glowing confidence, both on-screen and off, as she embraces her new roles as wife and soon-to-be mother. Her ability to navigate the fast-paced world of F1 while building a family with Alexandre has only deepened her admirers’ respect. “Naomi’s a trailblazer,” one fan commented online. “She’s showing you can have it all—love, career, and family.”
The Future Looks Bright
As Naomi Schiff prepares to bring her signature flair to the British Grand Prix, all eyes are on her—not just for her expert commentary but for the love story that’s captured hearts. While Lewis Hamilton may have been her champion in the public eye, it’s Alexandre Dedieu who’s won her heart in private. With a baby on the way and a career soaring to new heights, Naomi’s journey is proof that life, like a Formula 1 race, is all about finding the perfect balance between speed and stability.
So, as the Silverstone crowds roar for Hamilton, Norris, and Piastri, Naomi and Alexandre are writing their own victory lap—one filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a beautiful future together.
