It has been reported that Michael Schumacher has been spotted for the first time in 11 years to celebrate his daughter Gina-Marie's wedding. He left the public eye in 2013 having sustained a life-changing brain injury as a result of a skiing accident.
In the time following his accident the former Formula One star, 55, has lived in private with his wife Corinna in a mansion in the Swiss Alps.
However, the couple also own a ranch in Texas which the former racing driver likely hasn't visited since the accident which left him in a medically-induced coma for six months.

Though the pair remain in Switzerland, it was previously reported that they had planned to move into a £27 million home on the Spanish island of Mallorca having purchased the property from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

Rouarch's team and Schumacher's manager later denied that she had said such. The Schumachers reside in a £50 million Swiss home and it has been reported that the sports star's wife restricts who is able to visit her husband for privacy reasons.
