Kim Kardashian and F1 Driver Lewis Hamilton Are Reportedly Dating

The photos alone were enough to spark whispers, but the context surrounding them changed everything. Now, fans are watching closely as a surprising celebrity connection begins to take shape.

Over the past few days, whispers around Reality TV Guru Kim Kardashian and Formula 1 (F1) Legend Lewis Hamilton have grown louder. However, the real intrigue isn't what was said; it's what was seen. At first glance, the images show nothing scandalous: A luxury car, a few bodyguards, late-night movement, and two very famous people exiting separately.

But coupled with a recently published report by The Sun, the moments begin to tell a different story…

The TMZ Posts That Took Rumors to the Next Level

The photos and video, shared by TMZ, show Kardashian and Hamilton getting out of the same vehicle at different times, carefully avoiding overlap. TMZ captioned the post, "Kim Kardashian and F1 racing star Lewis Hamilton added more fuel to the dating rumors on Monday... 💖🤔," and fans immediately took the bait.

Another angle, posted on Facebook, captured the same footage in Paris, once again showing the pair arriving together but exiting separately, fueling speculation that this was anything but random.

At this point, the internet was already buzzing… but then a report dropped that pushed the story into full-blown tabloid territory.

Behind the Scenes of a Very Private UK Getaway

According to The Sun, Kardashian, 45, and Hamilton, 41, are reportedly dating, following a romantic and carefully orchestrated weekend getaway in the UK.

The outlet claims Kardashian flew in from Los Angeles on her £100 million (approximately over $136 million) private jet for a discreet, brief stay at the ultra-luxurious Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds.

An insider told The Sun that the pair enjoyed an intimate dinner, a couple's massage, and exclusive use of the spa and pool, all while being shielded by bodyguards who stayed firmly in the background. The source described the vibe as "very romantic," noting that privacy was clearly a priority.

Kardashian reportedly touched down at Oxford Airport on Saturday afternoon with eight suitcases, including her £80,000 (about $​​109 294.84) Birkin bag, while Hamilton made his entrance by helicopter from London.

Despite other guests mingling nearby, the two were said to have shared a room in the main part of the house that sits on 85 acres of land, and kept interactions low-key. "Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them," divulged the same source.

Still, the reported couple's shielded privacy didn't stop guests from taking notice of the two, as the insider revealed, "Guests who spotted them were murmuring about it because although Estelle Manor normally gets famous — and very rich — guests, it's not every weekend Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton drop by."

Notably, neither Kardashian nor Hamilton posted anything on social media during the stay, a rare move for two people, especially Kardashian, whose lives are usually documented in real time.

They reportedly checked out at around 11:00 a.m. and left together in the two vehicles Kardashian had used to travel to the venue where rooms cost upwards of £1000 ($1 365.90) a night (one of the cars was just for her luggage… yes, simply for her bags).

"It was all kept very quiet — they clearly wanted to have some time for just the two of them," an insider highlighted.

A Connection Years in the Making

While their alleged romance may be new, the connection between Kardashian and Hamilton isn't... The two have crossed paths for over a decade, often within overlapping celebrity circles.

They were photographed together in 2014 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London with their then-partners, Kanye "Ye" West, with whom Hamilton used to be close, and Nicole Scherzinger.

Hamilton later became close with Kardashian's half-sister Kendall Jenner, even sharing moments at the Miami Grand Prix. He has even spent time with Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2019.

After Kardashian's 2021 split from West, she and Hamilton remained friendly, attending industry events together, including the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards, where Hamilton praised Kardashian, among other honorees, publicly.

Still, romance was never on the table… until now.

Another one of the reported couple's recent public appearances, before the UK trip, came after fellow A-lister Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen, where Kardashian and Hamilton were seen leaving separately. At the time, fans brushed it off. Now? Not so much.

Social Media Reacts: Shock, Cheers, and Total Chaos

Online reactions to the TMZ by way of BackGrid footage have been chaotic, divided, and wildly entertaining. Some fans were immediately protective of Hamilton, commenting, "No, Lewis [sic] please don't," while others admitted shock, "I still can't believe it!"

Support poured in just as fast, with fans cheering Kardashian on and defending her, "Yes [sic] love this for her 🤎," and "People are wild!! She's a billionaire.. [sic] with a solid education. We're really out here shaming people for what they do behind closed doors. Most of you have done far worse with less than. Grow up!!"

Over on Instagram, responses leaned more playful and dramatic. One person expressed, "He looks happy 🤔 wonder why 😂," while another spectator wrote, "I'm having a nightmare. That's the only explanation." Others kept it simple with "OMG 🔥" and "This is epic," summing up the collective surprise.

Where Do Kardashian and Hamilton Go from Here?

Both Kardashian and Hamilton have had high-profile love lives in the past. Hamilton's longest relationship was with Scherzinger, while Kardashian has been linked to several figures since her divorce, most recently NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.

Kim Kardashian has also been open about her desire to date again, previously revealing she wrote a manifestation list with 52 requirements for her future partner, including accountability, calm energy, and strong morals and values.

However, when asked if she had dated anyone in private in 2025, she did add, "I haven't had time, I'm studying. And when I'm done I will open myself up. And so…  I opened myself up but I haven't found anyone [sic]."

Whether Hamilton ticks every box on her requirement list remains to be seen.

For now, neither star has confirmed nor denied the romance. But between the secret UK getaway, the carefully timed exits, and the undeniable chemistry the public swears to see, one thing is clear: this story isn't going anywhere.

And if the photos are any indication, we've probably only seen the beginning…
