Santa Clara, CA – The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on , but the game itself may be overshadowed by a developing story involving Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion was in attendance and, according to reports, has seemingly confirmed a new relationship with Kim Kardashian.
From the Grid to the Sidelines: Hamilton and Kardashian Spark Romance
Hamilton, preparing for his second season with Ferrari, was spotted with Kardashian at Levi’s Stadium, and sources indicate the pair were openly displaying affection. The connection comes after a string of high-profile relationships for Hamilton, including past connections with Nicole Scherzinger, Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, Barbara Palvin, and Shakira, as detailed by Cosmopolitan. More recently, he was linked to Russian fitness model Violetta Bert.
While previously believed to be enjoying the single life, the Super Bowl appearance suggests a shift. “Now that their relationship is public, it’s moving very quickly,” a source told The Sun. “Lewis told Kim during the game that he’s ready to introduce her to his mother.”
The “Kardashian Curse” and Fan Concerns
The blossoming romance hasn’t been met with universal enthusiasm. Hamilton’s fans have quickly voiced concerns about the so-called “Kardashian curse,” a perceived pattern of negative outcomes for athletes who date members of the Kardashian family. Social media has been flooded with warnings, with some fans expressing fears that the relationship could derail Hamilton’s performance on the track.
One fan commented on Hamilton’s latest Instagram post, stating the pairing could lead to “Ferrari and the curse [leading] to disaster.” Another simply urged Hamilton to “focus on yourself, king. Kim Kardashian will ruin your season.” The Sun reports that the couple is aware of the negative commentary but appears unfazed, even finding it amusing.
Ferrari Preparations on Track Despite Off-Track Developments
Despite the off-track attention, Hamilton appears focused on his preparations for the upcoming Formula 1 season. He recently expressed satisfaction with the progress Ferrari has made during testing, completing 63 laps at the Barcelona circuit and setting the fastest time of the week. He described a positive atmosphere within the team, noting a renewed sense of energy, and determination.
“I feel the winning mentality from every single team member, more than ever, and that’s positive. Everyone is optimistic and incredibly enthusiastic. We’re not chasing illusions, we don’t believe we’re ready yet. We know there’s still work to do.”
Hamilton has a point to prove in his second season with Ferrari. His first year in Maranello was surprisingly unsuccessful, marking the first time in his career he finished a season without a podium finish. This contrasted sharply with the performance of his teammate, Charles Leclerc, who consistently secured podiums and qualified for the final stage of qualifying at every race.
A Challenging First Season at Ferrari
The 2025 season was a stark reminder of the challenges facing Hamilton at Ferrari. While Leclerc thrived, consistently demonstrating the car’s potential, Hamilton struggled to find the same level of performance. The contrast highlighted the pressure on Hamilton to deliver results and justify Ferrari’s faith in him.
The team’s recent testing performance offers a glimmer of hope. Hamilton’s positive assessment of the team’s progress suggests a renewed sense of optimism and a commitment to improvement. However, the added distraction of a high-profile relationship could prove to be a significant challenge as he strives to regain his championship-winning form.
Whether the relationship with Kardashian will prove to be a positive or negative influence remains to be seen. For now, Hamilton appears determined to navigate the complexities of both his personal and professional life as he prepares for what promises to be a crucial season with Ferrari.
