UPDATE: Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are reportedly igniting a romance, with insiders expressing excitement over the budding relationship. The 45-year-old Skims founder and 41-year-old British F1 driver have been friends for years, but recent sightings on a romantic getaway suggest they are taking their connection to the next level.

Just last weekend, Kardashian departed Los Angeles aboard her private jet, landing in the picturesque Cotswolds, England, to meet Hamilton at the luxurious Estelle Manor. Sources reveal that the two enjoyed a “very romantic” weekend, complete with a couple’s massage and an intimate dinner in a private hotel room. This getaway marks a refreshing break for Kardashian, especially after her tumultuous past with ex-husband Kanye West, from whom she finalized her divorce in November 2022.

Insiders describe Hamilton as a “kind” and “genuine” person, suggesting he could be the perfect match for Kardashian after her struggles with West. “Let her be happy,” a source told Page Six. They noted that both celebrities navigate similar high-octane circles, with Hamilton’s connections in Europe and Kardashian’s influence in the U.S. making them a powerful couple.

Following their Cotswolds retreat, Kardashian and Hamilton were seen enjoying a date night in Paris, where Kardashian posted a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower on Instagram, set to the song “La Bohème” by Charles Aznavour. She donned a sheer lace Balenciaga turtleneck paired with leggings, capturing attention once again.

Despite the excitement, sources say Kardashian and Hamilton are being cautious about their public image, particularly considering West’s past friendship with Hamilton. “They know this could trigger Kanye in so many ways,” a source revealed, emphasizing that the couple is committed to keeping things low-key to avoid unnecessary drama.

While many are supportive, some believe West does not deserve such consideration. “Who gives a f–k what he thinks?” a source close to Kardashian stated, referring to West’s recent behavior. Kardashian has expressed her desire for a peaceful co-parenting arrangement with West, despite the challenges they faced during their marriage.

Kardashian and Hamilton first met in 2015, and their paths have intersected multiple times over the years. With Hamilton being a seven-time Formula One World Champion and Kardashian a powerhouse in the fashion and entertainment industries, their relationship is capturing significant attention from fans and media alike.

As Kardashian embarks on new ventures, including a collaboration with Nike for a women’s activewear line called NikeSKIMS, this new relationship seems to come at a pivotal moment in her life. According to another insider, Kardashian is taking her time to ensure that this romance is serious before making any public declarations.

Kris Jenner, Kardashian’s mother, reportedly has a soft spot for Hamilton, having joked in the past about wanting to marry one of her daughters off to him. As this developing story unfolds, fans are eager to see where this high-profile romance leads.
