George Russell’s girlfriend Carmen Mundt has had to go under the knife after being struck down with appendicitis.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Spanish-born influencer shared the news with her followers earlier today, confirming that her emergency operation went smoothly.<\/p>\n

She’s now on the mend in hospital with the Mercedes F1 star keeping her company during her recovery.<\/p>\n

Mundt posted a lovely photo of herself beaming from her hospital bed with Russell right beside her.<\/p>\n

She wrote: “It was appendicitis! Surgery went well and recovering in the best company.”<\/p>\n

The influencer clearly appreciated having her partner there, affectionately calling him “my favourite nurse.”<\/p>\n

Before the surgery was confirmed, Mundt had kept fans updated on what was happening with her health.<\/p>\n

She revealed she’d been throwing up for around 12 hours straight, with doctors suspecting appendicitis while they waited for test results.<\/p>\n

The timing couldn’t have been worse for the influencer, who had been gearing up to share something exciting with her followers.<\/p>\n

She explained: “I was planning to share something really special with you today but it will have to wait. I’ve been working on a project for almost two years.”<\/p>\n

Mundt also reminded fans that “life is not as perfect as it looks in social media.”<\/p>\n

The couple’s love story began back in 2020 in rather sweet circumstances.<\/p>\n

Russell was actually meant to be setting Mundt up with one of his mates, but when his friend couldn’t make it, he decided to go along himself.<\/p>\n

Speaking to SunSport, the F1 driver shared: “My mate couldn’t make it, so I thought I’ll swing along to see how it goes.”<\/p>\n

It turns out Mundt had absolutely no clue who Russell was or anything about Formula 1 when they first crossed paths.<\/p>\n

Russell said: “She didn’t know who I was, she didn’t know F1 and wasn’t even bothered by any of that. She is a very down-to-earth individual and we share values.”<\/p>\n

There’s also been a bit of a coincidence in their story \u2013 Mundt mentioned she was from a small place in southern Spain that nobody would know, but Russell actually recognised it straight away.<\/p>\n

He added: “I’m so fortunate with Carmen because we met before the craziness of F1. We met organically and it wasn’t a set up.”<\/p>\n
