David Coulthard, 52, looks cosy with his model girlfriend Sigrid Silversand, 27, as they enjoy romantic stroll… after collapse of his marriage to Belgian TV presenter Karen Minier, 48

David Coulthard put on a cosy display with his model girlfriend Sigrid Silversand as they stepped out in London on Sunday.

The former racing driver, 52, cut a casual figure in a khaki jacket and jeans during an outing to swanky Chelsea with the Swedish beauty, 27. 

Back in January, the Daily Mail revealed David had split from his wife Karen Minier, 48, as he was pictured without his wedding ring while kissing and cuddling Sigrid. 

He accessorised his look with a navy scarf and looked in high spirits as Sigrid placed a loving hand around his shoulder.

David’s make-up free partner wrapped up in a chunky blue polo neck sweater and a coordinating jacket for their romantic stroll.

She continued her look with leggings, along with black trainers and tied her blonde tresses into a ponytail. 

David, who won 13 Grand Prix and is now a television commentator, has not been pictured wearing his wedding ring since January last year.

He married Belgian TV presenter Karen in Monaco in 2013. They met in 2005 when she was covering the Grand Prix for the French TV channel, TF1. Their son, Dayton, was born in 2008.

At the time, David described the birth as ‘the start of a fantastic period’ in his life and said ‘winning 13 races seems completely insignificant in comparison’.

He once hailed his wife a ‘fantastic kisser’, adding: ‘I did research to confirm she’s the best.’ But he was less animated when talking about their wedding day.

He told The Guardian in 2015 that it wasn’t the best day of his life and that they decided to tie the knot for their son.

He said: ‘Karen and I got married because we had a child together and I had no intention of marrying anyone else.

‘We’ve been together ten years and were married in a register office in Monaco.

‘I don’t want to de-romanticise it – but I don’t subscribe to it being the best day of my life. On the other hand, when I got a call from the school nurse recently saying my son had hurt himself, the fear of a negative conversation immersed my body.’

Their last public appearance together was at Wimbledon in 2019 – but they were pictured having lunch with Amanda Holden and her husband Chris Hughes on the French Riviera in July 2020.

David was best man at Hughes’ wedding in 2008 to the Britain’s Got Talent judge, who follows Sigrid on Instagram. Pictures on her page show her posing topless and modelling underwear.

This isn’t the first time David has dated a model. He was previously engaged to American Heidi Wichlinski and was in a four-year relationship with Brazilian Simone Abdelnour.

A source told MailOnline: ‘David split with his wife over a year ago and Sigrid has been introduced to the whole family, including his son, and all is harmonious.’
