Kim Kardashian goes Instagram official with Lewis Hamilton after months of romance rumors
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Kim Kardashian and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton have seemingly taken their relationship public after months of speculation, offering a glimpse of their time together in an Instagram post shared on Monday, June 1.
Speculation about a romance between the two first emerged in late January 2026 after they were spotted together in Europe and photographed arriving in Paris, with the rumors gaining momentum during Super Bowl weekend in February when they were seen sharing a VIP suite.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton spark buzz with social media debut
Kardashian gave followers a glimpse of her recent activities when she posted an Instagram carousel captioned, “lately.” Among the photos and videos was a clip featuring Hamilton during a bike ride through New York City.
In the video, the Formula 1 champion attempted to take a selfie while riding beside her, who nearly lost her balance and let out a scream, struggling to stay upright. The post also included photos of children, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
While the carousel covered various moments from her recent life, Hamilton’s appearance quickly became the focal point for fans. The social media update followed the couple’s first public outing together on Tuesday, May 5.
Kardashian and Hamilton were photographed leaving the James Earl Jones Theater after attending a performance of 'Fear of 13' on Broadway. He was seen holding her hand as he escorted her to a waiting vehicle.
For the outing, he wore a coordinated gray look featuring baggy trousers, a bomber jacket, brown lace-up boots and layered necklaces. She opted for a turquoise corset-style top with cutout details, asymmetrical light-wash jeans and heels.
Despite increasing public interest, the pair have largely kept their relationship private. They were also reportedly spotted enjoying a beach date last month, while her daughter North joined them during Coachella in April.
Kim Kardashian reflects on love and relationships
Although Kardashian has remained relatively quiet about her romance with Hamilton, she previously shared insights into her outlook on dating during a November episode of 'The Kardashians.' Discussing life after spending several years single, she admitted that adjusting to a new relationship could be challenging.
She stated, “I think I'm definitely becoming more of a private person. I think from me not dating and not wanting the attention on me and not wanting to date somebody that has their own attention, it’s kind of nice.”
She also spoke candidly about becoming accustomed to independence: “When you've been single for a while, and you've been kind of doing whatever you want, whenever you want, and not having to consider another person, it gets harder."
Still, she expressed hope about finding the right partner in the future, “But when the right person comes along, I'll be ready,” she said. Kardashian’s comments came after several high-profile relationships. She was previously married to Kanye and later dated comedian Pete Davidson.
She was also linked to American football player Tom Brady, although reports indicated the two were never romantically involved. Most recently, she also dated Odell Beckham Jr before news of their split surfaced in April 2024.
