"Actually without my husband I'm a normal girl, with my normal hobbies, my normal interests, my normal passions, who tries to be as kind as she can. That's also what I love as his wife. And there's nothing wrong with that ❤️," she began her reply.
"That's probably what you are too, and that's great! 🫶🏻 We're not all meant to be singers, doctors, actresses or athletes, and that doesn't take away from someone's value. Who you are as a person, how you treat others and what you choose to do with your freetime does tho! Reflect 🌟," she wrote.

The confrontation went down on Alexandra's Instagram post recapping her time in Miami for the Grand Prix, where Charles finished eighth overall. She wore red leather pants in support of Ferrari's team color, a white t-shirt, tiny sunglasses and black pointed stilettos.
"Too much?? 🏎️," she simply captioned her Instagram carousel.

During an interview for Formula 1 on March 4, Leclerc opened up about the special moment with Alexandra, describing it as "one of those days that I'll forever remember. And same for Alex. And same for our family."
"It was family only, and it was very small and secret in a way, which we really enjoyed," he said at the time.
The couple plans to celebrate their love story again with a second, bigger wedding. Leclerc — who's in the middle of a busy Formula 1 season, which started in March and ends in December — just knows that it might take them a while to organize it.
"We'll do another one with all of our closest friends in actually quite a bit of time," he said, noting it will "take some time to organize it properly."
