Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton: From Friends to Love

Us Weekly maps the longtime pals' road to romance, from a few dates to 'really in love.'

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have officially gone from friends to more. Us Weekly has the receipts, and here's the timeline of their romance.

The beginning: a few dates

Earlier this year, the pair were spotted at Estelle Manor, a luxury hotel and country club in Oxfordshire, England. In February, a source confirmed exclusively to Us Weekly that Kardashian and Hamilton had been on "a few dates recently." Another insider called the romance "casual," with Kardashian "ready to put herself back out there." The same source added, "Everyone around her wants her to be happy after everything she has gone through." (Reported by Us Weekly)

Super Bowl, Tokyo and Oscar night

The two were spotted watching the Super Bowl together in a private box. After Kardashian stepped out for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Hamilton replied to her Instagram with a single heart-eyes emoji. Later that month, they were seen walking the streets of Tokyo.

A ride, a swim and a Broadway show

Kardashian took a spin in Hamilton's car, smiling from the passenger seat as he drifted to a stop. "That's insane," she said in his Instagram post. The duo were later seen packing on PDA while swimming in the ocean in Malibu. In New York City, they walked hand in hand to their car after seeing the Broadway play The Fear of 13 at the James Earl Jones Theatre.

Grand Prix season

At the Monaco Grand Prix, Hamilton gushed about Kardashian's support, telling reporters, "It's amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support. It's amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day."

At the British Grand Prix, he said "of course" she was making him happier. Later that month, he shared a lakeside photo on Instagram with the caption "Hold your people close 馃珎."

Really in love

A source close to the pair exclusively told Us Weekly they are "really in love." The insider added, "Kim may want to have more kids with Lewis. They just get each other, they get each other's quirks. She is really happy with him." (Reported by Us Weekly)

Paris and a rare comment

The couple locked lips underneath the Eiffel Tower, per photos shared via Kardashian's Instagram.

In an October 2026 profile with The Times, Kardashian opened up about being "really single for five years" after her divorce from Kanye West. "I really felt no rush," she said, adding that she wanted to "completely heal" and wasn't "ready to open up." When asked if she'd discuss her relationship with Hamilton, she told the outlet, "In the most respectful way, I'd probably rather not."

The backdrop

Kardashian was married to West for seven years before their divorce in 2021. They share daughters North and Chicago and sons Saint and Psalm. Hamilton was previously linked to Sof铆a Vergara.
