The drama between Ralf Schumacher and his ex-wife Cora has taken a new turn. Ralf, the former F1 driver and brother of Michael Schumacher, has publicly called Cora a liar, even leaking their private WhatsApp conversations to prove his point.
Over the weekend, Cora shocked many by claiming that she had “wasted” 14 years of her life married to Ralf, who revealed in July that he is now in a relationship with his French business manager, Etienne. She expressed feeling “stabbed in the heart” when she learned of Ralf’s new relationship, adding that she had no idea he was gay during their marriage.
But Ralf wasn’t going to let those claims slide. He quickly responded by posting screenshots of a WhatsApp chat from last year, showing Cora congratulating him and Etienne on their relationship. In the messages, Cora appears to be happy for the couple, even though she now claims to have been blindsided. According to Ralf, these messages prove that Cora knew about his relationship with Etienne long before he made it public.
In the conversation, Cora congratulates Etienne, mentioning that she heard they were married because they were wearing rings on their right hands. The exchange ends on a friendly note, with Cora saying, “I’m happy for you guys,” a stark contrast to her recent statements to *Der Spiegel*. Ralf published these messages on Instagram, accusing Cora of spreading lies and expressing his disappointment that she hasn’t been honest about the situation.
Cora, however, is not taking this lightly. She’s labeled Ralf’s move as “pathetic” and even “illegal,” and she’s clearly furious about him dredging up their private chats. The two were married from 2001 to 2015 and share a 22-year-old son, David, who is also involved in motorsport racing.
Ralf, who has been in a relationship with Etienne for two years, met him in Monaco. According to a close friend of the couple, actress Carmen Geiss, the pair have been happy together, and David has even expressed his support for his father’s relationship.
The ongoing feud between Ralf and Cora Schumacher seems far from over, and as they continue to air their grievances publicly, it’s clear that the situation is anything but simple.
