Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton and reality icon/SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian have transitioned from decade-long platonic friends into one of 2026’s most talked-about high-profile couples.
Kim’s ex-husband and father of her children, Kanye West, has weighed in on her relationship with Lewis Hamilton.
When he was asked about the sportsman’s relationship with Kim in an interview, Kanye West replied, “Honestly, I don’t understand how some guys think. I wish Lewis had someone who could give him some good advice, but apparently, he doesn’t. I just can’t understand how, at his age and with everything he’s accomplished, he’d choose to date a woman who already has four children with another man and be completely comfortable with that.
”I’ve already experienced that relationship and everything that came with it, and to be honest, it’s nothing special, which makes me wonder what he sees in it. But he seems completely comfortable with the situation, and I guess that’s what matters to him. Personally, though, it’s not something I would ever choose for myself again.”
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. Their divorce settlement was finalised in November 2022, including joint custody of their four children and an agreement on shared expenses.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton first crossed paths around September 2014 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, where they attended alongside their respective former partners (Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger).
Over the next decade, Hamilton and Kardashian frequently crossed paths in elite fashion, sports, and entertainment circles. Hamilton also shared friendly ties with the broader Kardashian-Jenner family, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
Speculation began around January 2026 after the duo celebrated New Year’s Eve in Aspen, followed by a quiet getaway at a boutique retreat in the Cotswolds, UK.
By February 2026, they were spotted dining together in Paris and seated together at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, transitioning their quiet connection into public view.
The couple went public with their PDA during a beach and surfing outing in Malibu. They were also spotted together enjoying acts at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Hamilton shared a video of the two driving a Ferrari F40 on his social media, while Kardashian officially posted Hamilton on her Instagram feed. Kardashian later attended the Monaco Grand Prix to support Hamilton trackside.
Over the Fourth of July holiday, Hamilton joined Kardashian and her family, including her four children, for a lake vacation in Idaho. Sources close to the couple report that Hamilton has bonded well with her children and that her family strongly approves of the relationship.
Today, the couple balances a high-visibility, long-distance relationship while managing demanding international schedules between Hamilton’s F1 commitments and Kardashian’s business empire.
