Bernie Ecclestone 'secretly marries' 46 years younger Brazilian beauty

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)

Liberal senator’s wife returns to court to plead for 69-year-old husband’s credit card after being released on bail

Postmedia News

Monday, Aug. 27, 2012

A Liberal senator’s wife accused of creating a disturbance on an airplane and uttering threats against her husband was forced to return to court Monday — the couple’s wedding anniversary — just moments after being released on bail.

Police were called to the John G. Diefenbaker International Airport around 8 p.m. on Thursday, where they took Maygan Sensenberger, 23, into custody.

She was released from custody Monday morning after spending the weekend in a jail cell on the conditions that she have no contact with her husband, 69-year-old Rod Zimmer.

Zimmer, a veteran businessman and fundraiser for the Liberal party, has been a senator since being appointed by former prime minister Paul Martin in 2005.

But shortly after being released on bail, Sensenberger was back in a Saskatoon courtroom to amend the terms of her release.

Sensenberger was to reside Monday evening at the ranch of Zimmer’s brother, outside Saskatoon, but she returned to the courtroom to request that condition be changed.

Judge Brent Klause agreed to the change, amending her release conditions so that she did not have to have a specified residence on Monday night.

Sensenberger also expressed concern that she had no money to secure a hotel room, because she had been travelling with her husband and he had all the credit cards. Klause nodded to Zimmer, who was sitting in the courtroom, and asked if it would be OK for Zimmer to give a credit card to Sensenberger’s lawyer, who could then give the card to Sensenberger so she could rent a hotel room — complying with the term that Sensenberger have no contact with Zimmer. Zimmer appeared to agree.



Sensenberger is scheduled to next appear in court Tuesday morning in Saskatoon.

Earlier, during her initial appearance, Sensenberger sat quietly in the prisoner’s box, quickly searching out her husband in the gallery. Monday was their first wedding anniversary.

They exchanged small waves and Sensenberger smiled sadly at Zimmer.

Crown prosecutor Melodi Kujawa said the Crown was prepared to agree to Sensenberger’s release, provided she agree to have no contact with Zimmer, abstain from alcohol and stay out of bars.

Defence lawyer Allan McGuire, a lawyer with Legal Aid, represented Sensenberger at her brief appearance.

When Klause asked if Sensenberger understood what was happening, she indicated some confusion.

“I don’t really know what to do,” she said, referring to the condition that she have no contact with her husband.



Klause told her she would be able to address her conditions at her next appearance Tuesday and advised her it would be wise to retain counsel.

According to a passenger on the same flight, Sensenberger was upset her husband was experiencing tightness in his chest, but she wasn’t threatening.

Scott Wright, a former ambulance attendant, said he volunteered last Thursday when the crew on the Ottawa to Saskatoon flight asked for anyone with medical experience to help Zimmer, who wasn’t feeling well.

He said Sensenberger was emotionally distraught by her husband’s condition.

Wright said Zimmer started feeling better after he was given some oxygen, but Sensenberger was still upset and the couple were fighting with each other over Zimmer’s condition.

“I never at any time felt threatened,” Wright said Monday. “And all of the frustration she expressed while I was there was targeted around the medical condition and the health of her husband.”



Wright said he and several other passengers were doing their best to help. He said the crew asked him if he believed they needed to land early, but when Zimmer began to feel better, the decision was made to continue on to Saskatoon.

“She saw us doing the primary work so she was continuing to speak out. She was continuing to say, ‘What’s happening? Is he OK? Tell me he’s going to be OK. Why aren’t you doing more? Why aren’t you doing something?”‘ Wright said.

“She did pause to yell at one or two of the other passengers who were peering over or trying to see what was going on,” he continued. “There was the odd profanity offered.”

No one was injured in the incident and police say the safety of the aircraft was not compromised.

Wright said the only physical conflict that he saw was between Sensenberger and Zimmer when he was trying to calm her down, although he said he didn’t see anything that may have transpired before he was asked to help out.

The only grabbing and pushing I saw was between her and him as he was trying to calm her and nudge the hand over and settle her down

“The only grabbing and pushing I saw was between her and him as he was trying to calm her and nudge the hand over and settle her down. I saw none with other passengers. I didn’t see any with passengers or airline personnel,” Wright said.

Wright said the flight attendants did their best to calm the situation.

Court records show the disturbance happened on Air Canada Flight 8597, which originated in Halifax, stopped in Ottawa and then went on to Saskatoon.

Zimmer politely declined an interview request with The StarPhoenix. “Have a nice day,” he said.

Zimmer was born in Kuroki and received a commerce degree from the University of Saskatchewan.

He and Sensenberger were married Aug. 27, 2011.
