This pairing welcomed their one and only daughter in July 2019 and named her Penelope. Piquet gave birth to Penelope just a night before the 2019 German GP. Daniil Kvyat put in a stunning drive during the race at Hockenheim as the Russian driver finished on the podium in a Toro Rosso.
This was met happily by Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner. As Horner hoped that the Russian driver continues to have more kids if it provides for such great results.
Unbelievable – he should have more kids!… For him to become a father last night and be on the podium today – it was a very mature drive by him.
Horner said.
However, shortly after, Kvyat and Piquet decided to end their relationship. Kelly Piquet did not hide her resentment on social media after the breakup. As the Brazilian model wrote, “Nothing in your life can leave without a possible replacement.” Luckily for Kelly, a new partner was just around the corner in the form of Max Verstappen.
