Personal Life and Marriages

Ecclestone has been married three times. His first marriage was to Ivy Bamford, with whom he has a daughter. Through her, he is a great-grandfather. In 1985, he married Slavica Radić, a former model, and the couple remained together for 23 years. In 2008, Slavica filed for divorce, and their separation was finalized in 2009.

In 2012, Ecclestone became engaged to Brazilian marketing executive Fabiana Flosi, and they married later that year in a private ceremony. At the time, Ecclestone was 82 years old, and Flosi was 35—a 47-year age gap that drew public attention and media commentary.

Divorce Settlement with Slavica Ecclestone

There has been considerable speculation regarding the financial arrangements following Ecclestone's divorce from Slavica. Contrary to early reports suggesting she was paying him, reliable sources confirm that Bernie Ecclestone paid Slavica approximately $1 billion as part of the settlement. Some confusion may have arisen from financial structures involving offshore trusts, but the outcome favored Slavica as the recipient, not the other way around.

Marriage to Fabiana Flosi

The wedding between Ecclestone and Flosi was intended to be private but eventually became public knowledge. Media coverage speculated on Ecclestone’s hesitance to publicize the marriage, referencing his significant age difference with Flosi. Despite conjecture, neither Ecclestone nor Flosi has publicly addressed such rumors. Flosi, like Ecclestone, maintains a low media profile and has largely stayed out of public discussions surrounding their relationship.
