In an emotional and deeply personal revelation, Fabiana Flosi, the wife of Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, has shared the heartbreaking news of suffering a miscarriage at 45 years old. The Brazilian-born marketing executive spoke candidly about the devastating loss that has profoundly impacted the couple.
The painful disclosure came during an intimate interview where Fabiana reflected on their journey, describing how she and the 93-year-old F1 legend had been "so happy" about the pregnancy before tragedy struck. The couple, who married in 2012, had been eagerly anticipating expanding their family.
A Love That Withstands Heartbreak
Despite the overwhelming grief, Fabiana's story is ultimately one of resilience and enduring love. She revealed how their strong bond has been the foundation that helped them navigate this challenging chapter. "We have each other," she stated, emphasising the strength of their relationship through adversity.
The age gap between the couple - spanning nearly five decades - has never been a barrier to their connection. Fabiana spoke warmly about their life together, from their Swiss home to their shared experiences in the high-octane world of Formula 1.
Life After Formula 1 Leadership
Since Ecclestone stepped down from his role as F1 chief executive in 2017 following Liberty Media's takeover, the couple has maintained a lower public profile while remaining connected to the sport that defined Bernie's career. Fabiana has been a constant presence by his side through various transitions.
The miscarriage revelation sheds new light on the personal challenges the couple has faced away from the glamour and pressure of the Grand Prix circuit. Their story resonates with many couples who have experienced similar pregnancy losses, bringing an important conversation about grief and recovery into the public eye.
As they continue to heal together, Fabiana's openness about their experience serves as both a personal catharsis and a source of comfort for others navigating similar journeys through loss and recovery.
