I felt used and wasted my best years- Ralf Schumacher ex-wife laments as husband comes out as Gay

Cora Schumacher, the ex-wife of former Formula 1 star Ralf Schumacher, has expressed that she feels used after Ralf came out as gay and ended their 14-year marriage. 

The couple, who separated in 2015, share a son named David, who is also a racing driver.

This comes after Ralf recently revealed on social media that he is in a relationship with his French business manager, Etienne. 

The revelation has reportedly left Cora feeling used, as she struggles to come to terms with the news and the impact it has had on her and their family.

Expressing her pain to Der Spiegel, via Marca, she said: “I wish Ralf had included me or at least let me be part of his decision. It would have been a sign of respect.

“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.”

Their son on his part said: “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.”
