Estelle Ogilvy has recently captured headlines as a key figure in a love triangle involving two rising stars of Formula 1: Franco Colapinto from Argentina and British driver Oliver Berman. Although she is not the first woman to juggle relationships with multiple partners, Ogilvy has a unique approach—changing her appearance, name, and even her age to charm her suitors.
A Glamorous Background
Estelle, who was born in Paris in September 1999, has often presented herself as 21 years old, as stated on her social media and even reported by the Daily Telegraph. In reality, she is 25, making her about six years older than Berman and four years older than Colapinto. Known for her stunning looks, Ogilvy has become a recognizable figure in the glamorous world of motorsport.
Early Life and Education
The daughter of a British mother and a French father, Estelle adopted her mother’s surname, Manning, when she moved to London to pursue a career in law. She studied in southern France before settling permanently in the UK, where she lived in Surrey with her mother and older brother. Currently, she is completing her postgraduate studies in law and aims to pass the Solicitors Qualifying Examination. Alongside her studies, she works at a reputable law firm in London.
Despite her high-profile relationships, there is no evidence that Ogilvy has misled anyone about her age. However, there have been instances online where someone suggested she might be older than 21.
Dreams of Stardom
From a young age, Estelle aspired to be a star. Various online profiles reveal her skills in fine arts, karate, and fluency in English, French, and Spanish. At the age of ten, she was featured in a Daily Mail interview where she expressed her love for animals and dreamt of going on a date with Justin Bieber.
A Family of Lawyers
Estelle’s mother, Clare, also studied in France and initially worked as a lawyer in Paris. After Estelle’s birth, Clare moved to the UK and is now a lawyer for a blue-chip firm based in Barcelona. The legal profession seems to run in the family, as Estelle’s cousin Pauline is also a lawyer in France. Pauline confirmed Estelle’s relationships with both F1 drivers but declined to provide further details.
A Surge in Popularity
Ogilvy and Berman reportedly ended their relationship in July, with Estelle returning to Franco Colapinto’s arms. Following the news of her alleged relationship with Berman, her social media following skyrocketed, amassing over 270,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram, where she regularly shares updates about her life.
With all eyes on her, Estelle has become a model for Storm Model Management and has participated in photo shoots promoting luxury watches for Longines.
Life on Social Media
On her TikTok account @silly_lettuce, Estelle shares snippets of her daily routine, including gym workouts and studying for her law degree. In one of her posts, she writes, “Here I am, studying. This is my whole life, and then I go to the gym. After the gym, I study more… I had a lot to do today… then I got ready to go to a birthday dinner.”
Romantic Connections in Formula 1
Before her split with Berman, Tatler magazine referred to them as the “most glamorous young couple” in Britain. Oliver made headlines earlier this year when he became the youngest Brit to compete in a Formula 1 Grand Prix at just 18 years old. Meanwhile, Franco Colapinto has raced for Williams and made his debut in the Italian Grand Prix.
Both drivers have seen their professional prospects rise following their connections with Estelle. When Ogilvy reunited with Colapinto, she took to Instagram to announce her breakup with Berman, solidifying her place in the spotlight.
As Estelle navigates her studies and relationships in the fast-paced world of Formula 1, one thing is for sure—her story is far from over.
