Kim Kardashian showed off her figure as she arrived back in the United States after a quick trip to Europe with Lewis Hamilton, who sources say is a new romantic interest.
The 45-year-old reality TV star and the 41-year-old Formula 1 driver have been friends for more than ten years. However, they’ve recently been seen together on romantic getaways – including trips to the Cotswolds and Paris – leading to speculation they may be dating.
People first noticed them connecting at Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party in Aspen last year.
Kardashian returned to Calabasas on Wednesday and caught everyone’s attention with a stylish black leather outfit. She wore a small top under a leather coat, creating a look straight off the runway.
The actress seemed eager to impress Hamilton, and her outfit, which was very revealing, looked like something straight from a fashion show.
This public appearance follows a report in the Daily Mail that Kardashian has a playful nickname for the Formula 1 driver. This adds another layer to her romantic life following her 2021 split from Kanye West and her subsequent relationship with Pete Davidson.
Sources close to Kardashian have started jokingly referring to Lewis Hamilton as her “Russell Wilson,” referencing the NFL player married to Ciara. They see Hamilton as a more mature and refined partner compared to her ex, Kanye West.
According to a source, Lewis is a calming presence in Kim’s life and has supported her through the challenges of co-parenting with Kanye. They’ve maintained a close relationship for years, and Kim’s children are very fond of him.
Kardashian shares four children with West: North, 12; Saint, 10; Chicago, 8; and Psalm, 6.
She supposedly took a quick 24-hour trip to the UK with Hamilton, flying on her $150 million private jet and staying at the luxurious Estelle Manor over the weekend.
The couple reportedly stayed in the main house, where they had a couples massage and a private dinner. They checked out Sunday morning, but were then seen arriving in Paris just a few hours later.
Pictures show the couple arriving at a Paris hotel in a large vehicle around 1pm. The next evening, Kardashian wore a revealing, see-through outfit for a date at Aqua Kyoto.
Although their relationship seems to have blossomed quickly, Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady have known each other for over ten years. They were first seen together in 2014, alongside their previous partners, Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger, at a GQ event in London.
In 2015, Lewis Hamilton celebrated Easter with his family and also enjoyed a VIP experience at Kanye West’s headlining performance at Glastonbury.
Kris Jenner, the mother of Kim Kardashian and aged 70, has spoken highly of Hamilton’s success and playfully hinted that he and her daughter, model Kendall Jenner, might be a good couple.
According to a source, Lewis has a long-standing friendship with Kim’s family and appreciates their dynamic, business-minded approach to life. However, he doesn’t want to become Kim’s stepchild’s father figure, nor does he want to be seen as the next big celebrity couple with her.
‘Their schedules are so demanding right now, so this setup works for them,’ the source added.
In an October 2025 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kardashian said she’s open to getting married again if she finds the right person. However, she also acknowledged that her past, difficult marriage to Kanye West makes it challenging to date now.
Oh my gosh, she totally gets me! It’s like, I’ll start to really like someone, and then BAM! I start worrying about their ex. I just can’t handle the drama if he’s going to cause problems. It’s a total dealbreaker, honestly. She understands the struggle!
‘So, it has been a little frustrating, but then I get my person wouldn’t care about that.’
As a longtime supporter, it was really difficult to see everything unfold with Kanye West. I was relieved to see him issue an apology for his hurtful antisemitic comments. He explained in a recent Wall Street Journal ad that his bipolar disorder sometimes makes it hard for him to see things clearly, and that contributed to what happened. It’s good to see him taking some responsibility, and I hope he continues to get the help he needs.
Honestly, I’ve been following him for years, and all this… stuff people are saying? It’s because of that car accident back in 2002! He says the doctors totally missed the brain injury it caused, and I believe him. It explains everything. All the times he’s… reacted strongly, it’s not him, it’s the injury! It just went undiagnosed for so long, and now people are making it out to be something else.
The rapper explained that his injury caused a flare-up of his bipolar disorder, leading to his recent difficult actions.
Okay, so after everything with Kanye, Kim’s been linked to Tom Brady – can you believe it?! – and then Odell Beckham Jr. too! Honestly, I’m keeping up with every single rumor because she deserves all the happiness, and those two are… interesting choices, to say the least. I’m just so invested in her love life, I have to know everything!
Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger, a singer from the Pussycat Dolls, had a relationship that started in 2007 and lasted, with periods of separation, until they broke up in 2015.
He was last seen with model Ashley Moore in September 2025 and singer Raye during the previous summer.
Several of Lewis Hamilton’s former partners, like Nicole Scherzinger, were apparently worried about his tendency to get angry.
People close to the situation are happy Kardashian made her own decision, adding that her ex was known for being very critical and difficult to satisfy in previous relationships.
Someone close to Nicole Scherzinger said Lewis Hamilton was known for being inconsistent – sometimes very attentive, and other times distant.
Oh my gosh, it was torturous to watch! One moment he’d be showering her with presents and declarations of love, and the next… total explosion! Huge fight, then complete radio silence for days. It was like he couldn’t decide if he adored her or wanted nothing to do with her. I just couldn’t figure it out, and honestly, it was heartbreaking to witness!
‘There was a real nasty streak. She would often be left in tears after rows with him.
‘He seemed to be a lot more interested in hanging out with his ‘bros’, than with his girlfriend.’
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Hamilton, Scherzinger and Kardashian.
