Bernie Ecclestone’s wife has shared insights on managing their parenting responsibilities for their five-year-old son, despite their significant 46-year age gap. The ex-Formula One chief, now aged 95, and his 49-year-old spouse reside in the serene Swiss village of Gstaad.
Their son was born in 2020 when Ecclestone was 89, establishing a new phase in their lives after marrying eight years earlier. The family splits their time between the picturesque Swiss Alps and Fabiana’s native Brazil.
Flosi and Ecclestone have nurtured their son to be trilingual, proficient in Portuguese from his mother, English from his father, and Swiss German from attending the International Preschool in Gstaad.
In a recent discussion about their parenting journey with Bild, Fabiana elaborated on how they handle raising a child with a 95-year-old father and a 49-year-old mother. She emphasized their teamwork in parenting, with Bernie’s calm approach to discipline. Their son is limited to half an hour of TV after completing his homework, with restrictions on online activities to only Tuesdays.
Ecclestone, renowned for revolutionizing F1 into a multi-billion-pound enterprise, praised his son’s adaptability and intelligence, foreseeing a limitless future for him.
Fabiana mentioned their son’s early achievements, such as skiing at age two and his diverse culinary preferences, including a fondness for sushi.
Ecclestone expressed his hopes for a fulfilling relationship with his son, aiming to be the supportive figure he needs. Despite the vast age gap between Ecclestone’s eldest child, Deborah, and Ace, they maintain family connections and traditions.
Recently, Ecclestone decided to sell a yacht named after his daughters due to minimal use, with plans to sell another yacht as well. Sky has introduced discounted bundles for Essential TV and Sky Sports ahead of the upcoming season, offering substantial savings and an extensive range of live matches, including Premier League games.
