Heidi Wichlinski Resurfaced at Maroon 5 Concert with Her Husband Seb Bishop (Former Goop CEO) and Their Daughter, Singer Skye Bishop
For years, Heidi Wichlinski was a familiar face in the F1 paddock and on the party circuit — and then she vanished from public view almost entirely. More than two decades later, a single family day out has pulled her back into the frame.
Before marrying businessman Seb Bishop, Heidi spent years in the F1 paddock as the longtime partner (and onetime fiancée) of McLaren driver David Coulthard. After that relationship ended, she largely stepped out of the public eye.

Heidi Wichlinski was one of the 90s faces you’d spot at races and parties, engaged to F1 driver David Coulthard before that engagement ended in 2001 amid tabloid stories about other women. She stepped almost entirely out of the public eye after that, which is why her turning up at BST Hyde Park on July 3 to watch Maroon 5 has these shots getting picked over 20 years later.

Beside her was husband Seb Bishop, himself a fixture of that early-2000s London scene (he dated Lady Victoria Hervey before Heidi) who went on to run Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop from 2011 to 2014 and now runs the London homewares brand Summerill & Bishop.

In a February interview he said if his career were a mixtape he’d call it “Feelings,” which happens to be the name of his daughter’s debut album, and that he knows every lyric to her songs.

That daughter is Skye Bishop, who’s been grinding at this since she was 9, busking on London streets and picking up Young Songwriter recognition along the way. Her single “FREE” dropped in March, the “Feelings” album is imminent, and she’s been announced as a special guest for Chris Isaak later this month.

The other name in the group is what turned a family day out into gossip fodder: Rod MacSween, founder of booking giant ITB and one of the most respected agents in live music, with Pink Floyd, The Who and Aerosmith on his client history. A rising singer standing next to an agent of that weight is the kind of detail people read into.
