In a revealing post, the former karting driver revealed that they were not aligned on their hopes for the future.
She said: “This is quite recent because all throughout February, me and Kimi were trying to figure stuff out.
“We were just not really sure at what point the relationship was ourselves.
“That’s why I didn’t address it sooner. That’s why I didn’t address it until now, although the rumours have been around for a while.’
“Also, I’ve seen so much speculation and fake narratives and news, and whatever. That’s not right.
“I want to set it right and I want to set the record straight, just so everyone knows and there doesn’t need to be any more false, disgusting narratives.”
Babickova, who had been with Antonelli since 2023, addressed her 170,000 Instagram followers in a video.

The Czech Republic native has also furiously responded to claims that other women or men had been involved in their breakup.
She said: “Yes, we did break up. I was the one to end the relationship because I felt that we no longer aligned in our personal lives and in what we wanted for our future.
“Also, our values towards the end of the relationship were very different. That’s basically it. That’s why the relationship ended. There’s no massive drama. Nothing like this.
“No other men, no other women were involved. There was no cheating. And I think it is super wrong for anyone to assume that because it is very misrepresentative of who me and Kimi are as people.
“It’s super misrepresentative of what our relationship was. It was never that.
“Although we did have issues towards the end of our relationship, other people were never the problem. It just misrepresents everything that our relationship was about and I don’t like that.”
Antonelli joined back in 2019 as a junior driver following a successful karting career.
He made headlines by replacing the departing to partner last year, finishing fourth on his debut at the Australian .
Babickova insists this is the only time she will address their split.
“I also want to say I will not say anything more about this breakup. Even if you want more information, I’m not sharing it. It is what it is.
“This is the last time I will speak about it. Of course, if there is something that I really need to address but you can stop making speculations now because this is addressed.”
