Newly crowned Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris sparked a frenzy among fans after his victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, not just for his title win but for a very public celebration with his girlfriend. The McLaren driver, who secured his first championship despite finishing behind Max Verstappen and teammate Oscar Piastri, made a beeline to share a celebratory kiss with model Margarida Cordeiro on the Marina Circuit.
Who Is Margarida 'Magui' Cordeiro?
The woman who captured the 25-year-old champion's attention is Portuguese model and influencer Margarida Cordeiro, widely known as Magui. At 22 years old, she has built a significant online presence, amassing over 2.3 million followers on Instagram where she shares curated fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content.
Based in Portugal, Cordeiro frequently collaborates with major clothing and beauty brands and is also a co-owner of her own swimwear label, Missus Swimsuits. Her mature and elegant demeanour often leads fans to search for details about her age and background.
How Long Have Lando and Margarida Been Dating?
The couple have been linked since the start of 2024, with eagle-eyed fans first noticing similarities in their holiday locations. They have meticulously kept their romance out of the public eye, with neither Norris nor Cordeiro making an official announcement about their status.
This discretion made their post-race kiss in Abu Dhabi on December 7, 2025, a major 'hard launch' moment, leading most observers to believe they have been together for roughly a year. The pair appear to favour a private and low-key relationship away from the F1 spotlight.
Lando Norris's Private Dating History
Compared to many of his racing peers, Norris has a reputation for guarding his personal life. His most confirmed previous relationship was with model Luisinha Oliveira, which ended mutually in 2022 after several months. Following that split, which he addressed respectfully on social media, the Bristol-born driver has successfully kept his love life private until now.
The Abu Dhabi podium moment has undoubtedly thrust his relationship with Margarida Cordeiro into the global spotlight, promising more attention for the superstar couple in the future.
