They shone brightly. Between 2015 and 2016, Fernando Alonso and his girlfriend, Lara Alvarez, spent an enormous amount of time together. They could be seen on Formula 1 circuits, in the paddocks and at various events. Both had big smiles on their faces. Love. But all good things must come to an end: the driver and the journalist ended up going their separate ways.

But who is Lara Alvarez?

But who is Lara Alvarez? Born in Gijon, Spain, on May 29, 1986, Lara Alvarez is a well-known journalist and presenter. Since 2006, she has been working for a number of different news organisations. She started out at Telemadrid, before moving on to Animax, TeleAsturias, MARCA TV, Cuatro, Antena 3, and finally Mediaset Spain. At the start of 2024, however, she announced that she was leaving Mediaset after ten years of loyal service, to embark on 'a new professional path'. Since then, we've had no further news on the subject.

But Lara Alvarez isn't one to be bored, anyway. In fact, she's also very active on her Instagram account, which is followed by over 2 million people. Her followers seem captivated by her smile. On social networks, she shares her daily life, her love of dogs, her photo shoots, her vacations and her sessions at the gym. As you can see, Lara Alvarez wears many hats. Last but not least, she is the ambassador of the shoe brand, Carmela.

Fernando Alonso's other relationships

Fernando Alonso and women have an interesting past. The Aston Martin driver is currently in a relationship with Melissa Jimenez, who is also a Spanish journalist and, above all, the former girlfriend of Spanish footballer Marc Bartra. Before that, the Spaniard dated another journalist, Austrian this time, in the person of Andrea Schlager. They stayed together for one year, between 2022 and 2023.

The ex-Ferrari driver was married once, in 2006, to Raquel del Rosario, who was none other than a star. Indeed, the young woman was the lead singer of the Spanish pop-rock band El Sueño de Morfeo. Their marriage lasted until December 20, 2011, when they divorced. A few months later, the Don Juan of asphalt made his relationship with Dasha Kapustina official. And who is she? Nine years his junior, she was a Russian model, who today describes herself as a 'nutritionist'. They remained a couple for around two years, with one separation. What do (almost) all these women have in common? Fernando Alonso doesn't hesitate to show off with them at several Formula 1 Grand Prix.
