Kim Kardashian has been spotted in a striking black leather outfit upon her return to the US after a whirlwind European trip with rumoured new beau Lewis Hamilton. The 45-year-old reality star and the 41-year-old British Formula One driver have been friends for over a decade, but recent outings suggest a romantic spark.
The pair were seen enjoying a cosy escape in the Cotswolds and a luxurious stay in Paris, with their connection first catching attention at Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen last year. Kardashian, who shares four children with ex-husband Kanye West, has reportedly been given a cheeky nickname by those close to her: 'her Russell Wilson', a nod to the NFL star and Ciara's husband, as they view Hamilton as a 'sophisticated upgrade'.
A source revealed that Hamilton has a 'calm spirit' and has been supportive of Kardashian through her co-parenting situation with West. The insider added that Kardashian's children 'love him'. The couple reportedly flew to the UK on Kardashian's private jet for a 24-hour stay at Estelle Manor, sharing a room and enjoying a couple's massage and private dinner before heading to Paris.
Despite the intense speculation, an insider clarified that Hamilton is 'not looking to be a stepdad' and that their demanding schedules make the current arrangement work for them. Kardashian has previously spoken about the challenges of dating after her marriage to West, noting on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she would marry again but finds it difficult due to her ex's behaviour.
West recently apologised for his antisemitic rants in a full-page Wall Street Journal ad, attributing them to a brain injury from a 2002 car crash.
