Guests attending the glamorous wedding of Gina Schumacher, daughter of seven-time world champion , and long-time partner Iain Bethke at the family’s luxury Mallorca villa were reportedly forced to follow a strict code of conduct.
The ceremony took place at the family’s four-acre estate above the Port d’Andratx resort. This property was purchased by Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, in 2017 for a reported eye-watering £27million, and was previously owned by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

During this time, Schumacher has been under the close supervision of wife Corinna, as well as an exclusive and tightly controlled inner circle, receiving treatment at the family home in Geneva. Only a handful of trusted close friends have been afforded one-to-one access to the seven-time world champion during this time.
As explained in the BILD report, the ceremony lasted 30 minutes before guests were ushered into the main area of the villa for celebrations.
Privacy was top of the priority list, and guests were made to hand over their mobile phones to the property’s security team upon entering the property, ensuring that no images of the property were leaked to the press and spread across social media.

Among the attendees were and his partner, Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne. The former driver came out as gay publicly earlier this year, although the ensuing reaction from ex-wife Carmen Geiss led to an unwanted public fallout.
“I wish Ralf had included me or at least let me be part of his decision,” Geiss said in an interview with German news outlet Der Spiegel. “It would have been a sign of respect.
“During his career in F1, there were many rumours in the paddock. I asked him to clarify if what was being said was true, but he always denied it, telling me that I was imagining everything and that maybe I needed psychological help.
“When he announced it, it was like a stab in the heart. Coming out always affects those around you, including the ex-wife with whom you had a child. Today I feel used during the marriage. I feel like I’ve wasted my best years. I ask myself many questions. Was he honest with me?”
Responding to those quotes, Bousquet-Cassagne told : “I thought we had a good connection with Cora. When she arrived, she asked me: ‘Are you sleeping together?’
“I told her: ‘Yes, of course. We are together. We are a couple.’ And she was happy for us. That was okay, that was great, a great week with Cora. That’s why I’m disappointed now.”
