Who is Laila, Michael Schumacher’s “future daughter-in-law”, and one of the only people allowed at his bedside?

She would have little by little “earned the affection” of her in-laws. To the point of becoming the only girlfriend of Mick Schumacher ever allowed near his father-in-law, the legendary driver Michael Schumacher. As revealed by the German daily Bild on Sunday September 29, Laila Hasanovic would be among the rare people admitted to the bedside of the seven-time Formula 1 champion, victim of a serious skiing accident in December 2013. In a relationship for eighteen months with Mick, the youngest child of the professional athlete and Corinna Schumacher, the 24-year-old model would have been dubbed by the German clan. Recently, the Schumacher family has indeed shown itself to be more inclined to expand its close circle.

Gina’s wedding

For eleven years now, Corinna Schumacher has been careful to preserve the privacy of her husband, whose state of health remains strictly confidential. The former pilot has not officially appeared in public since his tragic accident. However, the situation would have changed somewhat during the wedding of Gina, Mick’s older sister, celebrated in Spain on Saturday September 28. A ceremony attended by Michael Schumacher, according to some rumors. And at which Laila Hasanovic was obviously present.

Another proof that the Bosnian was able to conquer the hearts of the Schumachers: she would, still according to Bildregularly included in their family plans. In July, the Miss Universe 2019 finalist appeared alongside Corinna, Gina and Mick during an equestrian event organized in Switzerland. Four months earlier, she also went to the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship with her mother-in-law. At the same time, Laila Hasanovic went so far as to pay tribute to Michael Schumacher on her Instagram account. She shared with her some 339,000 subscribers the contents of her bag, including an Airpods case adorned with the number 47 – the one that once appeared on her father-in-law’s sports equipment.

Potential engagement

For his part, Mick Schumacher proclaimed his happiness on RTL in 2023, affirming that he “did not want to hide” his love for Laila Hasanovic. This is evidenced by their respective Instagram accounts, dotted with photos in which they pose as a couple. They also document their walks in the city, their matching outfits or their trips as a duo. And would sometimes offer each other double dates with pilot Esteban Ocon and his partner Flavy Barla. This is not surprising, as the quartet often cross paths in the paddock, where Laila Hasanovic supports Mick Schumacher.

The icing on the cake is that the model, who works for the lingerie brand Hunkemöller, recently cast doubt on a potential engagement with the Mercedes reserve driver. The young woman, formerly in a relationship with footballer Jonas Wind, published a video on Tuesday September 24, in which she wears a diamond ring on her left ring finger. We see her friends frozen, as if speechless by news. “So there it is game over», simply writes Laila Hasanovic in a cryptic Instagram caption.

“She thought I was deaf”

Born in 2000 in Bosnia, Laila Hasanovic grew up in a small town in Denmark. As a child, she was so discreet that her attitude worried her mother. “When I was little, I was very shy, I didn’t talk to anyone,” says the woman who today has 278,000 subscribers on TikTok in a video. So, at one point, my mother took me to the ENT. She thought I was deaf because I never responded when people spoke to me. But it turns out I was just super shy.” A shyness from which she detaches over time.

A “huge dizziness”

As a teenager, Laila Hasanovic landed her first job: distributing newspapers in her town of residence. A job that she “hates”. At 15, eager to get out of her comfort zone, she flew to the United States to spend a year with a host family in Kentucky. There, she will reconnect with her previous life but also with her ambition to become an investigator – a project born from her overwhelming passion for documentaries on current events.

At 16, she got her first contract as a model. “I landed my first Instagram campaign when I was 16 for a watch brand called Daniel Wellington, and since then I’ve slowly started working on social media,” she explained. A year later, Laila Hasanovic passed her driving test, then moved to Copenhagen in 2019. That same year, she was elected Miss Denmark.

Having remained close to her family, the one who considers her mother to be her “best friend” now reveals herself on social networks, between daily outfits, beauty routines and couple’s escapades. Not to mention the young woman’s offbeat confidences. This reveals having a phobia of huge things – like whales and shipping containers – and feeling “enormous dizziness” in a plane, specifies the Daily Mail not without calling her “future daughter-in-law” of Michael Schumacher. A character who should, without a doubt, continue to seduce the German family.
