Kim Kardashian's close friend Jonathan Cheban has delivered a humorous verdict on the possibility of the reality star marrying Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton. The 52-year-old food critic made it clear he would not attend another of Kardashian's weddings, having already witnessed two of her previous marriages.
Cheban's Candid Response
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Cheban was asked whether wedding bells might soon ring for Kardashian and Hamilton. He replied: "Oh God, I will not go there. I've been through two. This is it. I'm stopping while I'm ahead." Despite his reluctance to attend another ceremony, Cheban described the couple as a "gorgeous pair" who "fit perfectly," likening their dynamic to a "good yin and yang."
Kardashian and Hamilton's Romance
Kardashian and Hamilton have been romantically linked since early this year, following sightings together in the Cotswolds and Paris. Reports suggest they have been dating for six months, sparking speculation about a potential engagement. The couple was recently seen publicly holding hands for the first time as they left a Broadway performance of The Fear of 13.
Although they have known each other for a decade, their romantic relationship is believed to have begun in November. They reportedly spent New Year's Eve together in Aspen with friends, and have since been spotted on multiple occasions, including trips to the Cotswolds, Paris, the Super Bowl, Utah, Tokyo, Coachella, and Malibu. Kardashian's children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—have also joined them on some outings.
Kardashian's Previous Marriages
Kardashian has been married three times: to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2003, to NBA player Kris Humphries for 72 hours in 2011, and to Kanye West from 2014 to 2022. She shares four children with West.
Kardashian's Views on Remarriage
Despite the blossoming relationship, Kardashian expressed uncertainty about marrying again during a 2024 appearance on the This Life of Mine with James Corden podcast. She said: "There'll be moods where I'm just like, you know what? I understand my life is really big, and I understand it takes a really, really, really special, unique person to want to deal with that." She added: "I think my life is really fun, and whoever comes into my life will have a really good time, but it's a lot. I'm not lonely, so I'm good. I have my kids, I have work, I have my family, but it would be nice to share your life with someone, but when you do, it's such a big commitment, I don't take that lightly."
Friendship with Cheban
Kardashian and Cheban have been close friends for years, though they have been seen together less frequently recently. On her sister Khloe Kardashian's podcast Wonder Land, Kim addressed the situation, assuring fans that they remain on good terms. She explained: "I love Jonathan. We should call him. Jonathan and I are good. Here's the thing, I had kids. It's really hard to maintain friendships when you have kids and you're like in it. Jonathan is not going to come and sit around Calabasas all day. He's like always on the move." Khloe added: "Especially when someone else doesn't have kids. It's not like you can do play dates with your kids. I get that — and we love Jonathan. There's so much history there."
