Lewis Hamilton publicly praised girlfriend Kim Kardashian during a fan Q&A at the Silverstone circuit in July 2026, confirming the depth of their relationship. When asked if he was happier due to a certain Kardashian, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion laughed and replied, "Yeah - that's a good one." He credited some of his happiness to his "amazing" team at Ferrari, adding, "And of course, of course it's Kim."
From Friendship to Romance
The couple, who have been friends for years, officially hard-launched their relationship in April 2026 after months of speculation. Romance rumours first emerged in February when reports surfaced that the duo had enjoyed a luxury getaway at Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds. Later that month, they were spotted heading into a hotel in Paris before dining at Aqua Kyoto, and they watched the 2026 Super Bowl together.
In March, People magazine reported that Hamilton joined Kardashian and her four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—on a family trip to Tokyo. Kardashian's sister Khloe and her two children were also present. Hamilton appeared to confirm the relationship in April by posting a video on Instagram of himself driving a Ferrari with a smiling Kardashian in the passenger seat during their Tokyo trip.
Going Instagram Official
By June, Kardashian made their romance Instagram official by posting a snapshot from a bike ride in New York with the caption "Lately." She has since become a regular presence at Hamilton's races. On June 5, she attended the Monaco Grand Prix, where she was photographed giving Hamilton a hug before he headed onto the track. Hamilton finished second in that race.
During a press conference after the Monaco Grand Prix, Hamilton spoke about Kardashian's support: "It's amazing to have her come this weekend and have her support. It's amazing to have good people around you, and good people supporting you, and you know, she does that for me every day."
Family Time and Future Steps
Most recently, the pair celebrated July 4 with Kardashian's children and her sister Khloe. The relationship has progressed quickly, with Hamilton integrating into Kardashian's family life. The couple's public appearances and social media posts indicate a serious commitment, though neither has commented on long-term plans.
