F1 legend Michael Schumacher was reportedly seen in public for the first time since his horror skiing accident over a decade earlier.
Schumacher was spotted at his daughter Gina’s wedding, after she married her long-term partner Iain Bethke at the family’s €32 million Majorcan mansion.
The couple tied the knot at the lavish ceremony, with Gina later writing the following message on social media: ‘Forever yes to you, yes to forever’.

Michael Schumacher
Michael Schumacher has been under the care of his wife Corinna and a team of dedicated medical professionals since his horror skiing accident in December 2013.
Following this accident, Schumacher was left in a medically induced coma, before being allowed to return to his family home in Lake Geneva in September 2014.
Only a selected group of trusted friends and family members have been allowed to visit Michael in that time, with only a small number of people from both inside and outside the family knowing the specifics surrounding his condition.
One family member who has been largely kept at a distance with regards to Michael’s well being has been his brother Ralf.

However, Ralf also attended the wedding, according to reports, which appear to suggest that he has mended some fences with his sister in law Corinna.
The pair have been estranged over the last few years, with Corinna excluding him from visiting the family following the accident.
However, Ralf who came out as gay earlier this year, showed up at the wedding with his partner and French business manager, Etienne Bousquet-Cassange.
It had been suggested that the Schumacher family were concerned about having Ralf’s ex wife Cora around, amid fears that she could “have the potential to be indiscreet”.
Last weekend saw Schumacher attend the wedding, where all guests were also asked to leave their mobile phones at the venue’s entrance to prevent any photos of the German being taken without consent.
According to reports, the next Schumacher family outing could be on the horizon, after Mick Shumacher, Michael’s son, appeared to propose to his partner Lailia Hasanovic, who recently shared a photo of herself wearing a diamond ring on Instagram.

Last April, the Schumacher family also threatened legal action against a German magazine, Die Aktuelle, for publishing an interview with Michael, using AI. More on this here.
