George Russell Boldly Questions Lewis Hamilton About Kim Kardashian Romance
Fellow Formula One driver George Russell has cheekily probed Lewis Hamilton about whether he is "all loved up" amid persistent rumours linking the seven-time world champion with American reality television star Kim Kardashian. The Mercedes driver posed the pointed question to Hamilton, who now races for Ferrari, while both were mic'd up during Formula One's official pre-season photoshoot.
Awkward Exchange Captured on Video
In footage posted by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team's official social media account, Russell can be seen lingering near Hamilton before asking directly: "All loved up, or, what's the latest?" The Ferrari driver appeared unwilling to engage with the topic, offering only a grin before swiftly redirecting the conversation to practical matters about the photoshoot positioning.
This public teasing follows Hamilton's previous refusal to discuss his private life when questioned by journalists about the Kardashian rumours last week. According to Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz, the racing legend shut down inquiries by stating firmly: "It's my private life, I'm not talking about that."
Rumours Intensify Following Super Bowl Appearance
Speculation about a potential romance between Hamilton and Kardashian has been building since late January, when the pair were photographed checking into the luxurious Estelle Manor hotel in the Cotswolds. The whispers grew louder after they were spotted sitting together at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, watching the Seattle Seahawks clinch victory at this year's Super Bowl on February 8.
Neither Hamilton nor Kardashian has publicly confirmed or denied the relationship rumours, maintaining a consistent silence on the matter despite increasing media attention and fan speculation across social media platforms.
Longstanding Friendship Between Hamilton and Kardashian Family
While romantic involvement may be recent, Hamilton and Kardashian have maintained a friendship spanning many years. The Formula One champion has been close with Kardashian's sister, Kendall Jenner, for an extended period, and their mother, Kris Jenner, has been observed cheering for Hamilton from the stands at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The connection extends back to when Hamilton was in a relationship with singer Nicole Scherzinger and Kardashian was married to rapper Kanye West. The four were photographed together at GQ's Men of the Year awards in London in 2014, and West even invited Hamilton to spend Easter with their family in 2015.
Previous Celebrity Relationships and Current Dynamics
Hamilton has experienced several high-profile relationships throughout his career, most notably his on-off romance with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger that lasted from 2007 until their final separation in 2015. More recently, he has been linked to model Ashley Moore in September 2025 and British singer Raye during the previous summer.
Sources indicate that Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West finds the situation uncomfortable, with one insider revealing: "Ye is jealous, yup, it feels weird for him. It is always strange for him to see his ex-wife out with another man. It felt weird with Pete Davidson and now it feels weird with Lewis Hamilton."
The reality television star shares four children with West—North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6—following their divorce in 2022 after announcing their separation the previous year.
Professional Crossovers and Shared Appearances
Beyond personal connections, Hamilton and Kardashian have crossed paths professionally on multiple occasions. They were both present at the 2021 Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards, where Hamilton shared a photograph of himself with Kardashian backstage on his Instagram account.
In his caption, Hamilton wrote about how "Kim Kardashian and Kim Jones have come together on SKIMS," referencing Kardashian's successful shapewear and clothing brand while also mentioning other innovators being honoured at the event.
As the Formula One season approaches, all eyes will remain on Hamilton both on and off the track, with fans and media alike watching for any further developments in his personal life while he continues his pursuit of an unprecedented eighth world championship title with his new team at Ferrari.
