London, August 26 (ANI): Bernie Ecclestone is said to have been secretly married for the third time in a ceremony at his ski chalet in Switzerland.
In a service that his own daughters failed to attend, the 81-year-old F1 mogul married Brazilian marketing director Fabiana Flosi, 35, at Le Lion, his 23-million-pound chalet in the exclusive resort of Gstaad.
The couple, who announced their engagement in April with Miss Flosi sporting a 100,000-pound ring, exchanged vows two weeks ago - while the millionaire's two daughters remained 6,000 miles away in Los Angeles.
Despite a 46-year age gap, Ecclestone and Flosi began dating in 2009 following the end of his 23-year marriage to Slavica. They met through their work on the Brazilian Grand Prix where Miss Flosi is F1's vice-president of marketing.
The nuptials seem not to have been met with enthusiasm by the tycoon's two daughters, Tamara and Petra, who were both conspicuous by their absence, the Daily Mail reported.
This wedding is the third trip down the aisle for the octogenarian, who vowed to 'remain single for the rest of his life' after being forced to hand over an estimated 1-billion-pound of his 2.4-billion-pound fortune to Slavica following their acrimonious divorce.
At the time Mr Ecclestone met Miss Flosi, she was living in Sao Paolo, Brazil, with paediatric doctor Fernando Nascimento.
The couple's low-key wedding comes a year after the previous Ecclestone nuptials, which took place in Rome last August, when Petra married in a 12-million-pound three-day ceremony which included live performances from the Black Eyed Peas and Eric Clapton. (ANI)
