This is cupid! Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo holds hands with his girlfriend Heidi Berger as they enjoy a romantic getaway in Venice – and he even plays ‘Instagram friends’
Last year he confirmed that he was “deeply in love” with his girlfriend Heidi Berger.
And Formula One star Daniel Ricciardo, 33, appeared smitten with the aspiring actress, 25, as they enjoyed a romantic getaway to Venice earlier this month.
The lovestruck duo held hands as they strolled through the stunning city.
At one point, Daniel was playing “friends from Instagram,” snapping photos of his lover as she posed artfully on a staircase.
The couple dressed casually for their sightseeing trip, with Heidi flaunting her slim figure in skinny cream trousers paired with an oversized printed jumper.

McLaren star Daniel also slipped into a sweater, which he combined with black trousers.
The cute couple both shielded their faces from the sun with baseball caps.
Daniel and Heidi, daughter of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger, were in Venice to join a galaxy of stars at the wedding of Australian snowboarder Scotty James and billionaire F1 heiress Chloe Stroll.
Daniel revealed in an interview last year that he was “in love” with his girlfriend Heidi after the couple became “officially on Instagram” in August.
During an interview with Fitzy & Wippa on Friday, he confirmed their relationship was getting serious.

Daniel, who has won eight grands prix since his F1 debut in 2011, opened up about his relationship after being asked if being in love “takes away stress”.
“Yes mate, I’m in love,” said the McLaren driver. “I’m fine, so I have a good balance in life at the moment.”
Daniel was also asked about his relationship with Heidi’s father, former Austrian Formula 1 champion Gerhard Berger.

In August, Daniel went to the “Instagram official” along with aspiring actress Heidi (centre).
Daniel revealed that he had followed Berger’s racing career since he was a child and even wore “a Berger hat”.
Elsewhere in the interview, he was asked if Heidi was good at the wheel, to which he replied, “Definitely not race car status.”
Daniel went public with Heidi in August when he shared a photo gallery of the couple on Instagram while on vacation in the US.

Many of Daniel’s fans shared their excitement, with one commenting, “First real post with Heidi.”
“It’s official!” another wrote. “I’m glad you’re happy Daniel, we’re with you all the time!” said a third.
Daniel and Heidi, a student at New York University, sparked romance rumors after they were spotted spending time together last year.
“Yes mate, I’m in love,” the McLaren driver told Fitzy & Wippa in September. “I’m fine, so I have a good balance in life at the moment.”
