David Schumacher, the nephew of racing legend Michael Schumacher, has recently gotten engaged to Vivien Keszthelyi following a romantic proposal during their trip to the Maldives. The couple, who met through a mutual friend and has been together for years, shared the exciting news on social media.
David, who competed in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for the HRT Ford Performance team, surprised the Hungarian driver with a heartfelt proposal. Posting on Instagram, the 24-year-old expressed his joy with the caption, “She said yes. The ocean witnessed our love, and the sunset sealed our promise. 05.11.2025.” Vivien also expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and well-wishes from their followers.
Among those showing support was David’s father, Ralf Schumacher, a successful Formula 1 race winner. The post received over 20,000 likes, with Ralf being one of the first to ‘like’ it. Michael Schumacher, David’s uncle, continues to require constant medical care at home following a severe head injury sustained in a skiing accident in 2013.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Jussi Posti, who has been closely monitoring Michael’s condition, indicated that he has likely been in a stable state for the past decade, with medical facilities set up in his home to provide the necessary care. Michael’s wife, Corinna, shared updates on his situation in a Netflix documentary released in 2021, reflecting on the tragic accident and its impact on their family.
Mick Schumacher, Michael’s son, also spoke about the accident’s aftermath in the documentary, expressing the loss of shared moments with his father and the unique bond they shared through motorsport. Despite the challenges, Mick fondly recalled the conversations they could have had and the depth of their connection through their shared passion.
This engagement news brings a moment of happiness to the Schumacher family amidst the ongoing challenges they face.
