Jenson was previously married to long-term partner Jessica Michibata before they divorced in 2015.
With his F1 career now firmly behind him after fully leaving McLaren in 2017, it appears family life is on his mind as he builds a comfortable sportscar career in Japan.
Having raced in the Japanese Super GT Championship in 2017, he joined Team Kunimitsu in 2018 and won the title alongside Naoki Yamamoto.
