Lando Norris’s Split from Girlfriend Magui Corceiro Confirmed by Paddock Insider
Whispers in the Formula One world have been circulating, and now, a prominent paddock insider has confirmed what many have suspected: British racing star Lando Norris has parted ways with his girlfriend, Portuguese supermodel Magui Corceiro. The couple, who have had an on-again, off-again relationship for several years, were a noticeable presence during Norris’s jubilant celebrations after clinching the world championship in Abu Dhabi just two months ago.
The speculation gained significant traction following a video clip shared on TikTok from recent testing in Bahrain. In the footage, Norris appears to be overheard by a rival driver, Carlos Sainz, stating that he is “a single man.” While the audio quality left room for interpretation, the statement has now been corroborated by F1 correspondent Kym Illman.
Illman, who boasts a substantial following of 881,000 on Instagram, addressed the rumours directly in a video update. He stated unequivocally that the reports of a split are “definitely true.” During his round-up of the day’s testing activities in Bahrain, Illman remarked, “Lando Norris was in fine form this morning, looking good. You may read this tomorrow… but he has broken up with his girlfriend Magui. You might have already heard rumours but it is definitely true.”
This confirmation comes after a period of public appearances and statements that suggested the couple was together. Norris and Corceiro, who previously dated footballer Joao Felix, had reportedly ended their relationship in 2024 before reconciling last year. However, it now appears that the pair have decided to go their separate ways once more.
Signs Pointed to a Breakup
According to reports from The Sun, there had been subtle indicators of a potential split for some time. The source suggested that the couple had “drifted apart after his win last season,” with the most significant hint emerging during the Bahrain testing.
- The Absence at a Celebration: A telling sign was Lando Norris’s decision to host a party to express his gratitude to those who had supported him throughout his championship journey. While many close associates and team members were present for the celebratory gathering, Magui Corceiro was notably absent. This omission naturally fuelled speculation among fans and media alike.
A Public Display of Affection and Its Aftermath
Just last December, Corceiro was visibly emotional, shedding tears as she watched Norris secure his world championship title. In the week following his victory, she spoke with TV Guia, discussing the public nature of their relationship.
“There’s no rule for going public,” she explained at the time. “I thought it (the kiss in Abu Dhabi) made sense. I’m very happy, he’s very happy, and that’s what matters. At that moment I forgot the cameras were there. It was such an important moment that I didn’t even remember that.” Corceiro had been a key figure in the post-victory celebrations, joining Norris’s parents, his brother Oliver, and the McLaren team in a night of revelry that reportedly lasted until 6 am and incurred a bill of approximately £100,000.
Who is Magui Corceiro?
Magui Corceiro hails from Santarem, Portugal, and has cultivated a significant presence on social media, amassing a following of over 800,000 on TikTok alone. Her career extends beyond modelling; she has also established herself as an actress, appearing in Portuguese television dramas. Furthermore, she is a familiar face in various advertising campaigns, having featured for brands such as Intimissimi and Alo Yoga.
Her diverse talents were showcased in 2020 when she participated in the Portuguese version of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Corceiro is also an entrepreneur, co-founding the eco-conscious swimwear brand Missus. Her modelling work has seen her grace the pages of prestigious publications, including Vogue Portugal.
Norris’s Own Words on Their Relationship
Lando Norris himself had previously spoken fondly of Corceiro in an interview published in Vogue. He described their meeting as occurring “a few years ago,” though their relationship only became serious “more recently.” When asked what made her special, Norris responded enthusiastically, “Everything. She’s someone I can very much be myself with. Very down to earth and she lives quite a crazy life as well. It’s nice when we can both just [rent] a boat for the day or go home together and chill.” He even humorously mentioned his ongoing efforts to get her interested in golf, a sport she reportedly dislikes.
Despite these past expressions of affection, the relationship now appears to have reached its conclusion, though neither Norris nor Corceiro have yet made an official statement on their respective social media channels.
