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.

Where does Michael Schumacher live?

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.

The family quickly dismissed the rumour despite the mayor of Mallorca, Katia Rouarch, having been quoted saying: "I can officially confirm Michael Schumacher will move in to our municipality and that everything is set up here to welcome him."

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.

Michael started to show small but encouraging signs of improvement by March 2014 and by April was showing signs of consciousness.

By June, the F1 driver was withdrawn from the coma but remained in French Grenoble Hospital for the Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland.
