MOTOGP star Miguel Oliveira is engaged to his step-sister, Andreia Pimenta.
The couple, who have known each other since they were 13, have had a secret relationship together for 11 years before going public in 2019.
Pimenta, 24, is the daughter of Oliveira’s father’s second wife Cristina and it was the driver’s dad Paulo who revealed the exciting news.
He told Marca: “I’m happy that my son is getting married to the woman of his life.”
Oliveira himself previously opened up about falling for his step-sister before admitting they had planned to wed this year.
Speaking to Manuel Luis Goucha, the Portuguese said: “Before love there was a great friendship. We grew up together.
“At some point we realized that it was more than a friendship, it is a very strong love.
“We were going to get married this year, but that weekend I had a race and we had to postpone it next year.”
Oliveira, 24, has been celebrating on and off the track after he won the MotoGP prize at the Styria Grand Prix for the first time in the history of Portuguese motorcycling.
He said: “Just screaming and pure joy to have done it finally.
“I saw this coming already quite a few races ago. I felt we had the potential to do it, so finally to be able to do it is a huge boost to be able to continue like this.”
