RexAccording to Corriere della Sera, Schumacher could be going to his daughter’s wedding as it’s being held in one of the family homes set up with Michael’s specialist equipment.
Gina-Maria Schumacher, 26, and her boyfriend, Iain Bethke, 27, are set to tie the knot later this summer in a huge celebration.
The wedding is reportedly due to take place at a luxury £27million mansion owned by the Schumacher family over in Majorca, Spain.
It is already used by Michael frequently after it was transformed to make his care and recovery easier after being purchased in 2017 from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
Among the 15,000 square metre estate is two swimming pools, a helipad, a gym and a huge palm-tree-fringed garden.
The ex F1 icon has been protected by his wife Carinna and close circle of friends ever since his tragic ski accident with almost no updates on his health being released.
Despite the world eager to see what condition Schumacher is in after 10 years, the family have managed to prevent any photos of him being leaked.
German magazine Bunte said this will continue even if he is at the wedding as the Schuey clan looks to keep his privacy intact.
The family are reportedly looking at hiring a large security team to keep photographers away from the event and prevent any photos of the 55-year-old coming out.
The family are still yet to confirm if Michael will be at the wedding at all.
Plans for the huge day have already started to be revealed after it was reported that a wedding planner from northern Germany has been hired.
Their job is to put the “finishing touches” on the celebration and make it the best possible wedding despite the families tough circumstances with Michael’s health.
Bunte says the couple will say “I do” under an arch of flowers at the family villa as a country music band is set to play in the evening at an open-air ceremony.
With Spanish temperatures set to soar this year, male guests have reportedly been encouraged to not wear ties.
As rumours around whether or not Michael will be in attendance increase, the other members on the guest list is also a hot topic.
Since 2013, Corinna has been creating a private world around Michael as he continues his recovery – including forming a tight knit group of people allowed to see the great man and those who can’t.
Schumacher has regular meetings with his former teammate Luca Badoer and manager Sabine Kehm – who is arguably the closest non-family member to Michael both before and after his accident.
Ex-Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, 42, is regarded by the Schumacher family as “Michael’s younger brother” is allowed to see his old pal.
The third member of the so called inner circle is Jean Todt who has been close to Michael for over 30 years.
The pair reportedly watch F1 races together but Todt has admitted the F1 legend “is no longer the Michael we knew” before the accident.
Michael’s son Mick was also recently allowed to bring his girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic, 23, into the home to see Michael for the first time.
But there are also a list of names who are almost certainly not expected to be at the wedding.
Corinna was forced to cut certain people out of the driver’s life for his sake as she feared information being leaked out.
Some of these people include ex-teammate Rubens Barrichello, former manager Will Weber and ex-F1 team boss Eddie Jordan.
