Corinna Schumacher shares rare insights into her life with Michael in a new documentary.
Anonymous
Corinna Schumacher offers a rare glimpse into life with her husband, seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher, in the documentary “Schumacher ’94: The Birth of a Legend,” which recounts his breakthrough 1994 season. Michael has remained out of public view since suffering a severe brain injury in a 2013 skiing accident, and Corinna continues as his primary caregiver with support from nurses and therapists while protecting his privacy. Reflecting on their early relationship, she said Paula Abdul’s “Rush Rush” was their song and that hearing it still makes her cry. She also recalled that her mother initially opposed the relationship because Michael was so focused on go-kart racing.
