Cora Schumacher, ex-wife of former Formula 1 star Ralf Schumacher, who is also brother to legendary F1 racer Michael Schumacher, has claimed she ‘feels used’ after he came out as g@y in July.
The pair were married for 14 years and share a son, David, who is also a racing driver. They split in 2015.
Ralf Schumacher, revealed he was in a relationship with his French business manager Etienne on social media last month.
Cora who found out about the affair over social media, believes she was psychologically manipulated by Schumacher during their marriage.
‘I wish Ralf had included me or at least let me be part of his decision. It would have been a sign of respect,’ she told Der Spiegel, via Marca.
‘During his career in F1, there were many rumours in the paddock. I asked him to clarify if what was being said was true, but he always denied it, telling me that I was imagining everything and that maybe I needed psychological help.
‘When he announced it, it was like a stab in the heart. Coming out always affects those around you, including the ex-wife with whom you had a child.
‘Today I feel used during the marriage. I feel like I’ve wasted my best years. I ask myself many questions. Was he honest with me?
‘And there’s something even more important that’s on my mind: did he love me? I trusted him blindly and that’s why his word was law for me.’
Ralf Schumacher, 49, has been with his gay lover Etienne for two years having met in Monaco, according to Carmen Geiss, an actress and close friend of the couple.
His son, David, 22, shared his support for his father on social media when he revealed he was homosexual.
‘I am very happy that you have finally found someone with whom you really feel that you feel very comfortable and secure, no matter if they are a man or a woman,’ he wrote.
‘I am 100 per cent behind you dad and wish you all the best and congratulations.’
Cora and Ralf got married in 2001, had a son that year, and were together for 14 years.
She is a former GQ cover star and is still a big television personality in Germany.
