After the rumours that he was dating Taylor Swift, Fernando Alonso’s new girlfriend is apparently Spanish F1 journalist Melissa Jimenez. Following his split from Austrian TV broadcaster Andrea Schlager, Fernando Alonso did nothing to dispel the circulating rumour that he had begun dating American country and pop singer Taylor Swift. In fact, Alonso even leaned into the rumours, sharing a cheeky social media post in which he used Swift’s music and winked at the camera. When pressed on the matter, Alonso wouldn’t be forced into passing comment, saying he prefers to keep his personal and professional life apart. However, Alonso doesn’t seem averse to finding dates in his professional work environment, as his latest rumoured girlfriend also works in the Formula 1 paddock. Alonso has been spotted in the company of F1 broadcaster Melissa Jimenez, with Spanish magazine Hola publishing photos of the couple together in a car, while Italian publication La Repubblica have also reported they have begun dating after the conclusion of Alonso’s relationship with Schlager. La Repubblica also reported that during last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, “the paddock was silent witness to an argument between Alonso and his ex, Andrea Schlager”.
