The rumor mill surrounding Kim Kardashian and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has reached a fever pitch, fueled by recent sightings in Paris, and England. What began as speculation about a long-standing friendship has quickly evolved into a full-blown media narrative, with the pair’s movements closely tracked by paparazzi and fans alike.
Parisian Rendezvous
Reports indicate Kardashian and Hamilton were seen arriving at a luxury hotel in Paris on . According to sources, the two arrived in the same vehicle but seemingly took measures to avoid drawing attention, entering the hotel through separate entrances at different times. Photos obtained by TMZ further amplified the speculation, showing the pair’s coordinated arrival in the City of Love.
Kardashian’s subsequent social media activity, featuring images of the Eiffel Tower and a Parisian night out, only added fuel to the fire, prompting online commentary about a romantic getaway. She was photographed dining at Aqua Kyoto restaurant, reportedly spending three hours at the hotspot.
A Discreet English Escape
Prior to their Parisian excursion, the pair were reportedly spotted at the ultra-exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, England. Sources suggest Kardashian arrived via private jet, landing in Oxford, while Hamilton traveled from London by helicopter. The alleged weekend retreat included spa treatments, private dining, and couples massages, with an estimated cost of approximately £120,000 (roughly $152,000 USD).
A Decade of Friendship, A Recent Shift?
Kardashian and Hamilton have been acquainted for roughly a decade, first appearing together at the 2014 GQ Men of the Year awards alongside their then-partners, Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger. They were also seen together at the 2021 WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards and Pharrell Williams’s Louis Vuitton debut in 2023. While previously maintaining a platonic relationship, reports suggest a closer connection began to develop around New Year’s Eve, with both attending Kate Hudson’s party in Aspen, Colorado, in December 2025.
Sources close to the pair indicate they are now making a concerted effort to spend more time together, adjusting their busy schedules to accommodate each other. Kardashian recently finalized her divorce from Kanye West in 2022 and, in a January interview, revealed she hadn’t dated anyone in the past year, marking her longest period of singlehood.
Navigating Past Relationships
Both Kardashian and Hamilton bring complex relationship histories to the table. Kardashian’s past relationships include marriages to Kanye West and Kris Humphries, as well as a nine-month romance with Pete Davidson and a brief link to Odell Beckham Jr. In spring 2024. Hamilton, after a long-term relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, has been linked to several high-profile figures, including Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, Sofia Richie, Shakira, and even Kardashian’s sister, Kendall Jenner, though that connection dates back over a decade.
Kardashian recently discussed her evolving perspective on relationships, noting on her family’s show, “You get really comfortable the longer you’re single…the thought of you sharing a bed or your TV shows with someone else becomes less and less appealing because you get set in your ways.”
The Silence Speaks Volumes
Despite the mounting evidence and widespread media coverage, neither Kardashian nor Hamilton has publicly commented on the nature of their relationship. Representatives for both have yet to respond to inquiries from E! News. This silence, however, has done little to quell the speculation, with the entertainment world eagerly awaiting an official confirmation or denial.
The lack of comment is not unusual for Kardashian, who often allows her social media and public appearances to speak for themselves. Hamilton, similarly, tends to keep his personal life private. This strategy has only intensified the intrigue surrounding their potential romance.
What’s Next?
As of , the status of Kardashian and Hamilton’s relationship remains officially unconfirmed. Kardashian was seen visiting her NikeSKIMS Paris pop-up shop solo the day after the dinner date. However, the series of sightings, coupled with insider reports, suggests a deepening connection that extends beyond a simple friendship. Whether this will blossom into a full-fledged romance remains to be seen, but the entertainment world will undoubtedly be watching closely.
