Is Naomi Schiff Pregnant? Sky Sports F1 Star Expecting First Child

Naomi Schiff has announced that she is pregnant and is expecting her first child. The Rwandan-Belgian former racing driver and Sky Sports F1 presenter, and her husband Alexandre Dedieu, announced the news in July.



Joyful Announcement



On May 19, 2025, Schiff took to Instagram to reveal the exciting news. She shared a high-production video alongside her husband, captioned:




“Been keeping the tiniest little secret,” complete with a chick hatching emoji and hashtags like #babyontheway and #werehavingababy .



The clips show Naomi Schiff and Dedieu proudly showcasing a small baby bump, with tender moments captured by a photographer—and joyous smiles as they anticipate their new arrival.




Support from the F1 Community



The F1 community responded with warmth and enthusiasm. 2009 world champion Jenson Button wrote, “congratulations guys,” while Jamie Chadwick, the three-time W Series champion, added, “Amazing news! Congrats to you both.” Natalie Pinkham, Schiff’s colleague at Sky Sports, joined in, writing: “The BEST news… and that gene pool.”



Public Appearances



At the British Grand Prix in early July at Silverstone, Schiff appeared on-air, visibly pregnant. A heartwarming moment was caught on camera: Lewis Hamilton paused during a Sky “F1 Show” segment to place a hand on Schiff’s baby bump and gently asked if he could feel the baby kicking. Schiff later shared the poignant photo on Instagram, captioning it:




“When the spirit of greatness meets the miracle of creation. Baby already wrapped in grace.”
