Rumours are swirling at full throttle that global superstar Kim Kardashian and Formula One legend Lewis Hamilton have embarked on a romantic relationship, with sources suggesting the pair have actually been quietly seeing each other for around a month.
Clues Point to Secret Romance
The speculation reached fever pitch after the duo were spotted enjoying an intimate weekend together at the exclusive Estelle Manor country club in Oxfordshire. It appears the signs of their budding connection have been present for several weeks, flying under the radar of the public eye.
A Whirlwind UK Visit
Kim Kardashian reportedly jetted into the UK aboard her private plane, touching down at Oxford Airport on Saturday afternoon. From there, she was whisked away in two waiting cars—one dedicated to her substantial luggage—to the luxurious retreat, a mere ten-minute drive from the airfield.
Approximately an hour later, Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time F1 world champion who now races for Ferrari, arrived in style via a helicopter chartered from London's Battersea Heliport. The pair then proceeded to spend a romantic 24 hours together at the Grade II-listed property, which is nestled within 85 acres of picturesque grounds.
Keeping Things Under Wraps
Insiders reveal that the couple went to great lengths to maintain privacy during their stay. They reportedly booked a couple's massage and enjoyed exclusive, private access to the estate's swanky spa and pool facilities during the evening.
"It all appeared to be very romantic," a source told The Sun. "Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer. Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them."
Notably, both Kardashian, a prolific social media user, and Hamilton refrained from posting any updates about their time at the hotel, where rooms command prices upwards of £1,000 per night. This digital silence further fuelled the mystery surrounding their getaway.
A Friendship Blossoms Into Romance
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are not new acquaintances. The pair first met on the celebrity circuit back in 2014, photographed together with their then-partners, Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger, at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London.
Their friendship deepened over the years, with Hamilton being invited to spend Easter with Kardashian's family in 2015. They have remained close, even being honoured together at the Wall Street Journal's innovator awards following Kim's split from Kanye West in 2021.
However, this marks the first time the two have been romantically linked. Sources indicate they grew closer throughout January, with reports suggesting they even rang in the New Year together at a party in Colorado hosted by actress and singer Kate Hudson.
Departure and Past Relationships
The couple checked out of Estelle Manor around 11 am on Sunday. Hamilton was spotted using the gym earlier that morning, dressed in an oversized grey tracksuit with the hood up, before they departed together in the same two cars that transported Kardashian from the airport.
Kim Kardashian's last public relationship was with Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson, which lasted from late 2021 until 2022. She was also rumoured to be involved with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. two years ago.
Lewis Hamilton, 41, was famously in a long-term, on-off relationship with singer Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 to 2015 and has been linked to other celebrities like Rita Ora in subsequent years.
As the evidence mounts, it appears the cat is finally out of the bag regarding this high-profile pairing, suggesting a month-long romance that has now stepped into the spotlight.
