Williams Formula 1 driver Alex Albon and his long-term partner Lily Muni He are engaged.
The couple have been together since 2019, having met on social media after taking an interest in each other's sports - F1 and golf. "He’s a really funny person," golfer Muni He told Golfweek in 2021. "I think when we first met, British humour is slightly different. It took me a while to catch on."
Albon told Golfweek in 2022: "I was just kind [of] following how she was doing, and she was following how I was doing, and one thing led to another and we met up in L.A. It was a week after I had a race in Texas. We played some golf together and that’s how it all got started.
"On top of everything, we understand and we get each other. We started our sports as rookies, and we‘ve gone through tough times together. The highs and lows of being an athlete, I think you can resonate that with any athlete.”
Albon and Muni He shared their news on social media. "I guess we’re stuck with each other now," they wrote alongside a photo of them smiling from ear to ear as Muni He held up her left hand to show off the ring.
The Williams team shared its well wishes with the couple. "Some wonderful off-season news has broken, with Alex Albon announcing his engagement to partner, professional golfer Lily Muni He," the team wrote in a press release.
"From everyone at Atlassian Williams F1 Team, congratulations to Alex and Lily on the engagement – we wish you both every happiness as you look ahead to the next adventure together."
