The child, named Laura, has appeared with her dad in some of Haas F1 team's Twitter posts.
Louise and Laura appeared on Netflix series Drive To Survive, where Magnussen spoke of his worst phase in F1 and how his family helped him during that period.
What is Magnussen's F1 record?
The Danish driver enjoyed a blistering start to his F1 career, finishing second in his first race for McLaren.
But he struggled for the rest of the season, with a fifth place the only other highlight.
The following year, Magnussen was dropped from the team.
In 2016, he returned with Renault, but recorded just seven points after a disappointing campaign.
A move to Haas was to follow, again struggling in his debut season.
The 2018 season saw his form pick up, finishing fifth in Bahrain and Austria to end with a career-high of 56 points and a ninth place in the Drivers' Championship standings.
However, the two following seasons were disappointing, and he left at the end of the 2020 season.
Magnussen returned to Haas for the 2022 season, after the departure of Nikita Mazepin.
He recorded Haas' first ever F1 pole position for the short sprint race at the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
However, he finished 8th in the following sprint race, and crashed out on the first lap of the main race, following a collision with Daniel Ricciardo.
He was retained as a driver for the 2023 season.
