Only weeks later, the couple announced that they were pregnant with their first baby. The photograph shared showed them holding the baby bump while standing on the race track. In another image, the couple shared the ultrasound of their bundle of joy.
"Our lives will carry out with a special company. A job that will last the rest of our journey. Anxious to meet you my love," he wrote.
Miguel had previously spoken on their relationship, with the Sun reporting that Miguel said: "Before love, there was a great friendship. We grew up together.
"At some point, we realised that it was more than a friendship, it is a very strong love. We were going to get married this year but that weekend I had a race and we had to postpone it to next year."
