Laila Hasanovich, Mick Schumacher’s girlfriend, has confirmed that they are not engaged, despite rumors to the contrary.
The Bosnian-born model thrilled her fans when she posted a photo of her hand in July, which appeared to show an engagement ring.
F1 reserve driver Schumacher and Hasanovic have reportedly been dating since August last year and many thought they were taking their relationship a step further.
Hasanovic, 24, was a finalist in the Miss Universe Denmark 2019 pageant and has earned an impressive 341,000 followers on Instagram.
And she has broken the news (or rather the lack of it) to her fans with another photo of her jewellery, writing on Instagram: “and no, it’s not an engagement ring, guys.”

The model shared another photo of a ring on her finger and wrote: ‘and no, it’s not an engagement ring guys.’ A similar photo had sparked engagement rumors in July.
The 24-year-old was born in Bosnia but grew up in a small town in Denmark before moving to Copenhagen at 19.
Some fans felt the need to insist that she really is engaged despite Hasanovich’s denial.
Despite her obvious denial, that didn’t stop some followers from insisting that she really is; Maybe he’s lying, they must think, or he doesn’t know.
‘They’re engaged aaaghhh,’ wrote one internet sleuth while another wrote: ‘ma’am are you telling us you’re engaged?’
Mick Schumacher, 25, is the son of legendary driver Michael and is Mercedes’ reserve driver.
In 2021 and 2022 he competed for Haas, but was replaced when the American team moved to a more experienced lineup, bringing in veteran Nico Hulkenberg to sit alongside Kevin Magnussen.
According to German newspaper Bild, Hasanovich is Mick’s only girlfriend who has been allowed to visit her father Michael.
The seven-time world champion has not been seen in public since his skiing accident during a family vacation in Meribel, France, in 2013.
Schumacher collided head-on with a rock, and although his helmet absorbed much of the impact, the severity of the accident cracked the hard shell and fractured Schumacher’s skull, resulting in a traumatic brain injury.
He was placed in a coma, underwent two brain surgeries and was only deemed safe to move in June 2014.
Hasanovich and Schumacher aren’t afraid to show their romance to the world and regularly share glamorous photos together on Instagram.
The model has been dating Mick since August last year and the pair seem closer than ever.
F1 legend Michael Schumacher, 55, has not been seen in public since suffering a life-changing brain injury while skiing in 2013, but Hasanovich is reportedly allowed to see him.
Despite now working as a model and social media influencer, Laila revealed that she was “super shy” as a child.
The model landed her first social media campaign at the age of 16 for the watch company Daniel Wellington.

Bild says the family is “in love” with model Hasanovich, who is regularly included in their family plans and was pictured with Michael’s wife Corinna at the FIA World Endurance Championship in Qatar in March.
Hasanovich was born in Bosnia but grew up in a small town in Denmark before moving to Copenhagen when he was 19.
On her TikTok channel, the Danish beauty said: “If you ask me, I don’t look like your typical Bosnian, I think I look more Scandinavian, but I don’t have Scandinavian blood in me, it’s pretty funny because I don’t look like my parents at all.
Hasanovich and Schumacher are often seen sunbathing on tropical islands or dressed to the nines in swanky hotels and restaurants and have even been spotted by fans walking hand in hand at several F1 races.
The two have never shied away from declaring their love to the world and have been seen enjoying double dates with Mick’s old friend, F1 driver Esteban Ocon, and his girlfriend.
Despite her rise on social media, Laila revealed that she was such a shy child that her mother sought medical assistance. She said: ‘As a child, I was very shy, I barely spoke to anyone.
‘Then at one point my mother took me to an ENT doctor because she thought I was deaf because I never responded when people spoke to me. But it turns out he was just super shy.
