Petra Stunt (née Ecclestone) is an English heiress, fashion designer, and socialite. She is the daughter of Bernie Ecclestone, the former chief executive of the Formula One Group, and Slavica Ecclestone, a former model. As the child of one of Britain's most prominent business figures, Petra grew up in a high-profile environment and has often remained in the public eye.
In 2011, Petra married businessman James Stunt after four years of dating. Their lavish wedding, held at the medieval Castello Odescalchi near Rome, reportedly cost around £12 million. Prior to the marriage, the couple signed a prenuptial agreement. While various reports suggested differing motivations for the prenup, it is widely acknowledged that James Stunt initiated it, and Petra agreed, considering it a logical step to protect both parties’ substantial assets.
At the time of her wedding, Petra was financially wealthier than James. Nonetheless, James also held significant assets, reportedly worth approximately $19 million. Speculation arose over whether Petra's father, Bernie Ecclestone, influenced the decision to create a prenuptial agreement. Some sources claimed that Petra was cautious due to the sizable divorce settlement her father paid to Petra’s mother, which was reportedly around £500 million. However, neither Petra nor James publicly addressed these claims, and official reports indicate the decision for a prenup was mutual and made with practical intentions.
Known for her luxurious lifestyle, Petra Stunt has attracted media attention for her spending habits and taste for vintage designer items. Despite this public image, she and James have kept their personal relationship largely private. They have one child together, a fact that was publicly announced, but beyond this, the couple provided few details about their domestic life. Close sources have noted Petra’s preference to safeguard her family’s privacy, especially regarding her marriage.
Throughout their relationship, Petra and James were subject to various rumors, including unfounded speculation about Petra having an affair with Formula One driver Jenson Button in 2009. Although the two were seen together at several public events, no credible evidence supported the rumors, and Petra was already in a relationship with James at the time. The speculation had no reported impact on their relationship.
