Motor Racing Star and Reality TV Icon Fuel Romance Speculation
International celebrity circles are abuzz with reports that seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton is now dating American reality television superstar Kim Kardashian. According to an exclusive story published by The Sun newspaper, the high-profile pair spent what appeared to be a romantic weekend together at an exclusive luxury retreat in the English countryside.
Secret Getaway at Luxury Cotswolds Estate
The 41-year-old British racing driver and the 45-year-old media personality and businesswoman reportedly enjoyed intimate moments at the prestigious Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds. Kim Kardashian is said to have flown from Los Angeles aboard her private jet valued at approximately £100 million, arriving at Oxford Airport on Saturday afternoon with significant luggage for her brief stay.
An onlooker described her arrival as surprisingly low-key despite the presence of three bodyguards. "Kim's arrival was very discreet," the witness told The Sun. "She was flanked by two bodyguards and was whisked inside quickly." Approximately one hour later, Lewis Hamilton arrived via helicopter chartered from London's Battersea Heliport, adding to the clandestine nature of their meeting.
Exclusive Spa Treatments and Private Dining
Sources close to the situation revealed that the couple was granted exclusive access to the spa facilities at the luxury country club located in Witney, Oxfordshire. They reportedly booked a couple's massage and had full private use of the amenities, with security personnel positioned discreetly to ensure their privacy.
"It all appeared to be very romantic," a source disclosed. "Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer. They had a couple's massage booked in and had full use of the facilities for just the two of them. Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them."
In the evening, the pair enjoyed a private dinner in a secluded room away from other guests at the property, which sits within 85 acres of picturesque land. The luxury hotel is known for rooms costing upwards of £1,000 per night, catering to wealthy and famous clientele.
Longstanding Connection Through Celebrity Circles
While this weekend has sparked new romance rumors, Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian have actually known each other for years through their mutual connections in the entertainment industry. Their paths first crossed publicly at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London back in 2014, where they were photographed alongside their then-partners Nicole Scherzinger and Kanye West respectively.
The British racing driver developed a friendship with Kim's half-sister Kendall Jenner, who joined him for a lap at the Miami Grand Prix in 2024. Hamilton has also been photographed with Kim's mother Kris Jenner during the Monaco Grand Prix in 2019, indicating a longstanding familiarity with the Kardashian-Jenner family.
In 2015, Kanye West invited Hamilton to spend Easter with the family, where they bonded over music in West's studio. "Lewis Hamilton's over at my house and we're playing some music in my studio," Kanye said at the time. "We're having an Easter brunch and all of the family's there. And everybody's like, 'What is this music?' And I'm like, 'It's Lewis Hamilton's music'. They're like, 'Oh my God. It's really good'."
Discreet Departure and Continued Speculation
The following morning, Lewis Hamilton was spotted using the gym facilities and walking around the grounds in a grey tracksuit with the hood up, maintaining a low profile. The couple reportedly checked out around 11 a.m., leaving together in the same two vehicles that had collected Kim from the airport.
An observer noted the conspicuous departure details: "You couldn't miss it was her, she had about eight suitcases with her which had her name embossed on the side. One of her bodyguards was carrying her enormous Birkin bag, it looked so heavy he had to use both his hands to lift it to the car."
Despite their global fame and typically active social media presence, neither Kim Kardashian nor Lewis Hamilton shared any content from their weekend together on their platforms, further fueling speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Recent Public Appearances and Relationship Histories
The pair were last seen together publicly after Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen, Colorado, though they were spotted leaving separately on that occasion. They also attended the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards together, where Hamilton was honored for his achievements in sports while Kardashian received recognition for her shapewear brand Skims.
Lewis Hamilton has previously been linked to several high-profile women throughout his career, including singer Rita Ora. His longest public relationship was with singer Nicole Scherzinger, which lasted from 2007 to 2015. Since her divorce from Kanye West in 2021, Kim Kardashian has been linked to American football star Odell Beckham Jr. and has spoken openly about her search for a compatible partner.
In a recent interview, Kim revealed she had created a manifestation list in August 2024 with 52 specific requirements for a potential partner, emphasizing qualities like "good morals and values, a calm person, dependable, takes accountability." When asked about her dating life in 2025, she responded, "I haven't had time, I'm studying. And when I'm done I will open myself up. And so... I opened myself up but I haven't found anyone."
The Sun reported that representatives for both Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were contacted for comment regarding the romance rumors but have not yet provided official statements. The luxury weekend retreat has certainly ignited conversation across celebrity news outlets and social media platforms worldwide.
