===Family and relationships===
Senna married his childhood friend Lilian de Vasconcelos Souza in 1981, but she had difficulty adapting to her husband's racing life in England and they divorced in 1982.

Senna's nephew [[Bruno Senna|Bruno]] also became a Formula One driver, competing from 2010 to 2012.

From 1985 to 1988, Senna dated—and was briefly engaged to—Adriane Yamin, the daughter of a São Paulo entrepreneur. At the start of the relationship, Yamin was 15.

In 1988, [[Nelson Piquet]] accused Senna of being [[homosexual]] in an incendiary interview, in which Piquet also called [[Enzo Ferrari]] "senile", former teammate [[Nigel Mansell]] an "uneducated blockhead", and Mansell's wife "ugly".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sedgwick |first1=David |title=Power and the Glory |date=1 February 2018 |publisher=Pitch Publishing |isbn=978-1-78531-412-4 |chapter=14: Monaco Grand Prix |access-date=28 June 2022 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=e8pHEAAAQBAJ&dq=ayrton+senna+gay+piquet+%22senile%22&pg=PT162}}</ref> Piquet retracted his comments after Senna and Mansell threatened to sue him for slander.<ref>{{Cite web |title=3/4/1988 |url=https://historicracing.com/driverDetail.cfm?driverID=8364 |access-date=2024-10-15 |website=www.historicracing.com |language=en}}</ref> Senna shot back in a 1990 interview with the Brazilian edition of ''[[Playboy (Brazil)|Playboy]]'', declaring that he lost his virginity at 13 years of age to a prostitute arranged by his cousin, and insinuating that Piquet loathed him because he had previously slept with Piquet's future wife.<ref name="Jalopnik">{{cite web |date=18 January 2013 |title=Formula One's Greatest Driver Lost His Virginity to a Prostitute When He Was 13 |url=http://jalopnik.com/5977119/formula-ones-greatest-driver-lost-his-virginity-to-a-prostitute-when-he-was-13 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181221134617/https://jalopnik.com/5977119/formula-ones-greatest-driver-lost-his-virginity-to-a-prostitute-when-he-was-13 |archive-date=21 December 2018 |access-date=18 January 2013 |publisher=Jalopnik}}</ref>
