Sky Sports F1 presenter and analyst, Naomi Schiff, recently shared the joyous news of welcoming her first child. Schiff, known for her role in Sky’s lineup of Formula 1 pundits, had been on a break from broadcasting since the Dutch Grand Prix in August. Last May, she had announced her pregnancy with husband Alexandre Dedieu, whom she married in September the previous year.
Taking to social media, Schiff introduced her baby son, Raphaël Schiff-Dedieu, born on October 8th, 2025. In an emotional post, she expressed her overwhelming love for her newborn and her excitement for the journey ahead as a mother.
Congratulatory messages poured in from colleagues and well-known personalities in the racing world. Former F1 champion Jenson Button and TV presenter Laura Winter were among those who extended their warm wishes to Schiff. Fellow Sky F1 expert Natalie Pinkham and other industry figures also shared their joy for Schiff’s new chapter in life.
Schiff, who has been a prominent figure in Sky Sports F1’s broadcasting team since 2022, has a background in single-seater racing from her earlier years in South Africa. She later ventured into global racing series before transitioning to broadcasting, becoming an integral part of Sky’s F1 coverage.
As Schiff embraces motherhood, it remains uncertain how long she will be away from her punditry duties to focus on her family. Notably, Natalie Pinkham is also on a break due to undergoing neck surgery.
Sky has recently enhanced its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle by adding popular streaming services like HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, and more, along with comprehensive Formula 1 coverage and a wide range of channels. The network continues to offer extensive coverage of Formula 1 events, as well as other sports like the Premier League, EFL, darts, and golf.
