F1 star Nico Hulkenberg gets engaged to stunning girlfriend Egle Ruskyte on romantic trip to Venice

NICO HULKENBERG revealed his romantic side as he got engaged to Egle Ruskyte in Venice.

The Formula 1 star, 33, and the fashion designer from Lithuania have been together since 2015.

Hulkenberg and Ruskyte shared the same photograph to Instagram to announce their news.

The German-born F1 driver simply added the caption: “Family Portrait!”

Meanwhile, Ruskyte wrote: “Mrs and Mr Hulkenbergs to be #loveyou.”

The pair looked loved-up as they posed for the snap on a picturesque bridge in Venice.

Their beloved Zeus, who has his own Instagram page, also joined them on the trip.

Ruskyte then followed up the picture with a picture of herself celebrating her birthday in Monaco.

The stunner, showing off her legs in an open dressing gown, clutched a huge bunch of roses.

But she’s a lot more than just a pretty face.

Ruskyte formerly studied at university in her home country of Lithuania.

And she now runs her own fashion business that specialises in handmade crochet clothes and beachwear.

When she’s not jetting around the world on holiday, she can be found cheering on her partner.

Hulkenberg started dating the stunner one year after his split from police officer Laura Zinnel.

The driver lost his seat at Renault at the end of last season.

But he is in talks with a number of F1 teams over a full-time return in 2021.
