Formula 1 driver Alex Albon traded his usual racing circuit for a golf course when he joined his girlfriend, LPGA professional Muni He, ahead of the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship. Known by her nickname Lily, Muni has been dating Albon since 2019. Their time together on the fairway showcased Albon’s surprisingly strong golfing abilities, as shared in a video by the LPGA Tour on X.

During their playful round, Albon demonstrated remarkable precision, including a notably straight and powerful drive that caught He off guard. The two shared lighthearted exchanges about who had the longer shot, with Muni expressing disbelief at his unexpected skill.

“There’s no way that’s you.

He later conceded that Albon had indeed outdriven her. Their friendly competition continued on the signature Porsche hole, where Albon carefully lined up and executed another solid putt, earning enthusiastic approval from Muni.

The Couple’s Shared Connection Between Formula 1 and Golf

Their relationship blossomed after connecting on social media, with Muni developing an interest in Formula 1 thanks to Netflix’s Drive to Survive series. She has described Albon as a really funny person and appreciates his distinct British humor. Their mutual support shines through as they encourage each other’s pursuits in their respective professional sports.

Albon has spoken about the important role Muni and his close friends play in keeping him grounded amidst the intense environment of Formula 1 racing.
