Formula 1 enthusiasts recognize Nico Hülkenberg as the persistent German racer who finally achieved his first podium finish at the 2025 British Grand Prix after 239 tries—a moment made all the more memorable by his family’s emotional celebration.

But behind this achievement, his biggest supporters are his wife, Lithuanian fashion designer Eglė Ruškytė, and their adorable daughter, Noemi Sky.

With a romantic proposal in Venice, a wedding in Monaco, and Noemi’s unforgettable commentary moments, the Hülkenberg-Ruškytė family has truly captured the public’s affection. Let’s delve into the story of the woman who won Nico’s heart and their rising star, Noemi.

Who Is Eglė Ruškytė? The Fashion Designer Who Won Nico Hülkenberg’s Heart

Eglė Ruškytė stands out as more than an F1 partner—she’s a thriving entrepreneur, overseeing a successful crochet fashion label known as Egle. Raised in Lithuania, she studied at Aleksandras Stulginskis University before starting her brand, which specializes in custom resort wear, including dresses, tops, and skirts that can fetch up to $1,100 each.

Her Instagram, @the_crochet_girl (with over 42K followers), features her designs and snapshots of her glamorous life with Nico. Whether it’s cheering for him at races or flaunting her latest collection on a sunny beach, Eglė manages to juggle motherhood and her business with incredible style.

How Nico and Eglė Met: A Love Story Away from the Spotlight

Their love story kicked off in 2015, just a year after Nico Hülkenberg breakup with his previous girlfriend, police officer Laura Zinnel. Unlike many F1 couples, they kept their relationship under wraps, with Eglė later sharing:

“We built our relationship on mutual respect and staying grounded—no matter how chaotic F1 life gets.”

Nico popped the question during a getaway to Venice in 2020, and they tied the knot in a small Monaco ceremony in June 2021. A year later, they celebrated with extended family and friends, with Eglė playfully noting on Instagram:

“Two wedding anniversaries mean twice the cake!”

Meet Noemi Sky: The Delightful F1 Superfan Stealing the Show

Born in September 2021, Noemi Sky Hülkenberg has already made a name for herself on social media. A recent video of her naming all 20 F1 drivers—including affectionately calling Franco Colapinto “Lalapinto”—went viral, with Sauber jokingly dubbing her the “future commentator.”

But perhaps her most adorable moment came after Nico’s significant podium finish at Silverstone. Footage captured Noemi reaching out to touch her dad’s image on the screen, cheering as he celebrated with champagne. Eglė shared the moment with the caption:

“Noemi Sky Hülkenberg, ready for the race! Testing her F1 knowledge while waiting for Daddy.”

Eglė’s Empire: From Crochet Girl to Million-Dollar CEO

With an estimated net worth of $5 million, Eglė has transformed her passion into a luxury brand. Her standout “Emma” crochet dress—a stunning $1,100 creation—embodies her commitment to sustainability and classic style.

Nico’s Family Man Persona

Despite his “Hulk” nickname, Nico has a softer side when it comes to his girls. He once told the press:

“Racing is my job, but Eglė and Noemi are my world. Seeing Noemi’s face when I podiumed? Priceless.”

From the paddock to the runway, the Hülkenberg-Ruškytė family shows that love and ambition can flourish even in the fast lane. With Noemi already showing signs of being a mini F1 expert, who knows? She might just become the next star of the sport. Only time will tell.
