When did the Finnish couple split up?
Valtteri Bottas announced on social media on November 28, 2019 that the couple would be calling an end to their three-year marriage.

The Finn’s Silver Arrows teammate Lewis Hamilton has sympathised with his struggles to keep his relationship going, after revealing that he has trouble trying to keep his dogs alive.
The Brit said: “Children aren’t on my agenda at the moment. Congratulations to Seb, he’s obviously a great father.
“But I am struggling to keep my dogs alive and, managing being an uncle at the moment, that’s hard as it is, so I’ve got my hands tied.
“It’s similar to most sportsmen and women.
“It may be slightly different in that we are travelling as much as we are, and you are just away for crazy amounts of time.
“So that’s probably an additional weight that makes it really, really tough to hold down a good relationship, and if things aren’t quite perfect.”
Hamilton has not been in a relationship since splitting with Nicole Scherzinger in February 2015.
