The younger brother of Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher, 50-year-old former racing driver Ralf Schumacher, who has admitted that he is homosexual, has sold the rights to broadcast his wedding with 36-year-old boyfriend Etienne Bousquet-Cassany to the Sky television channel, Blick reports.

The reality show, titled Ralph and Etienne: We Say Yes, will consist of four episodes. The first two episodes of the documentary series will be available on Sky from May 21, 2026, the third episode will be released on May 28, and the grand finale, a wedding celebration in Saint-Tropez, will be available to watch online from June 6.
The show will give viewers exclusive access to the preparations for their big day on the French Riviera. From choosing the venue and rings to choosing the best man and bridesmaid, cameras will follow every detail. It's not known how much the couple will receive for the exclusive rights to broadcast their wedding, but it's likely to be a significant sum.
“We go through life together, and this series shows exactly that: our daily lives, work, differences and similarities. And we also want to prevent certain prejudices,” said Ralph at the presentation of the series.
Recall that Ralf Schumacher publicly announced his relationship with Etienne Bousquet-Cassany on Instagram in July 2024.

Previously, “FACTS” reported that Ralph and Etienne went to the wedding of Michael Schumacher's daughter.
