It’s Now Official: Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian Spark Romance Rumors with Steamy Getaway
In a surprising twist that’s sending shockwaves through celebrity circles and Formula 1 fandom alike, reports have emerged claiming that seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and reality TV mogul Kim Kardashian are officially in a romantic relationship. The news broke on February 1, 2026, via explosive exclusives from British tabloid The Sun, with multiple outlets quickly amplifying the story as the pair were spotted together in Paris just days later.
The saga began with whispers of a “secret romance” that had been quietly brewing for some time. Sources close to the couple revealed that Kardashian, 45, jetted into the UK from Los Angeles on her private plane, accompanied by three bodyguards and an impressive eight suitcases—including her signature enormous Hermès Birkin bag. She headed straight to the ultra-luxurious Estelle Manor, a Grade II-listed country house hotel and private members’ club in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire. Hamilton, 41, arrived shortly after via helicopter from London’s Battersea Heliport.
Insiders described the weekend as “very romantic” and highly discreet. The pair reportedly shared a room in the main house (where rates start from £1,000 per night), booked a couples’ massage, enjoyed exclusive access to the pool and spa facilities, and dined privately in a secluded room to avoid other guests. Security was tight, with bodyguards keeping a low profile while ensuring privacy. They checked out together around 11 a.m. on Sunday, with Hamilton using the front entrance and Kardashian slipping out a side exit—classic moves for high-profile stars dodging paparazzi.
This wasn’t their first subtle sighting together. Just weeks earlier, both attended Kate Hudson’s star-studded New Year’s Eve party in Aspen, Colorado. Photos from the event show them present at the same bash, though they left separately, which initially flew under the radar given their long-standing friendship. Now, those images take on new meaning as part of a timeline suggesting the romance may have been simmering for at least a month.
The connection between Hamilton and the Kardashian-Jenner family goes back over a decade. Hamilton has been a fixture in their orbit, notably befriending Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West (with whom she shares four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm). In one memorable instance, West invited Hamilton to spend Easter holidays at the family home, where he even joined in studio sessions. Kris Jenner, Kim’s mother, has attended Hamilton’s races, including the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix, and has publicly expressed admiration for the driver. Hamilton is also close to Kendall Jenner, who once joined him for a lap at the Miami Grand Prix in 2024.
Hamilton’s romantic history has often been low-key despite his superstar status. His most public long-term relationship was with singer Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 to 2015, an on-and-off romance that played out amid his rising F1 dominance. Since then, he’s been linked to names like Rihanna, Rita Ora, Gigi Hadid, Winnie Harlow, Shakira, and more recently Sofia Vergara in early 2025 after a birthday lunch in New York. Hamilton has prioritized his career—now racing for Ferrari in pursuit of an eighth world title—often keeping personal matters private.
For Kardashian, post-divorce from West in 2021, her dating life has included high-profile flings with Pete Davidson (2021-2022) and Odell Beckham Jr. (rumored in 2023). She’s built an empire through SKIMS, Skkn by Kim, and her Hulu series *The Kardashians*, while raising her children amid intense media scrutiny.
The rumors escalated further on February 2, when TMZ reported the pair arriving together by private jet in Paris, checking into a hotel around 1 p.m. local time. Video footage captured the moment, adding visual proof to the whirlwind reports. Neither Hamilton nor Kardashian has publicly commented, and representatives for both were reportedly contacted without response—typical for stars navigating new relationships under the spotlight.
Social media exploded with reactions: F1 fans expressed surprise (“Lewis noooo 😭”), while others noted the unlikely pairing (“That wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card”). Some pointed out British tabloids’ tendency to link Hamilton with almost every woman he’s seen near, but the detailed accounts of private jets, helicopters, and intimate weekends lend credence this time.
As the 2026 F1 season ramps up and Kardashian continues her business ventures, all eyes are on whether this high-octane romance will go public—or stay in the fast lane of discretion. For now, what started as friendship appears to have shifted into something more, proving once again that celebrity love stories can accelerate unexpectedly.
