Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper Felix Baumgartner was engaged to Nicole Öttl, a model and former beauty queen (Miss Lower Austria 2006) but they broke up in 2013.

Since 2014, he has been in a relationship with Romanian businesswoman, television host and producer, expert in humanitarian campaigns, social activist, bestseller author and columnist Mihaela Rădulescu.
There has been no mention of his kids and as a result, it’s not known if the popular Austrian athlete has kids. Perhaps, he has but is just keeping them away from the spotlight.

Felix is best known for jumping to Earth from a helium balloon from the stratosphere on 14 October 2012 and landing in New Mexico, United States as part of the Red Bull Stratos project. Doing so, he set world records for skydiving an estimated 39 km (24 mi), reaching an estimated top speed of 1,357.64 km/h (843.6 mph), or Mach 1.25.
He became the first person to break the sound barrier relative to the surface without vehicular power on his descent.
He broke skydiving records for exit altitude, vertical freefall distance without a drogue parachute, and vertical speed without a drogue.
Though he still holds the two latter records, the first was broken two years later, when on 24 October 2014, Alan Eustace jumped from 135,890 feet—or, 41.42 km (25.74 mi) with a drogue.
