Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian have taken their friendship to new heights, with sources claiming that the pair are dating after spending a romantic weekend together in the UK.
According to The Sun, the 45-year-old SKIMS founder flew in from Los Angeles on her private jet, to enjoy a private and intimate evening with Hamilton, 41, at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire.
The pair, surrounded by bodyguards for protection, made the most of the luxurious spa and private dining facilities at the estate, which is set on 85 acres of countryside.
A source revealed to the outlet: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer."
"They had two bodyguards with her, and Lewis had a close protection officer, but they remained in the background," they added.
The couple's evening included a massage, with the spa completely reserved for them, followed by a private dinner for two.
Despite their high-profile status, both Hamilton and Kardashian kept a low profile on social media during the trip, with neither posting about the getaway.
A History of Friendship and Longstanding Connections
Hamilton and Kardashian’s bond isn’t new. The two have known each other for years, with the racing driver having previously been friends with Kardashian's ex-husband, Kanye West.
They were seen together in 2014 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. In the years that followed, Hamilton’s connection to the Kardashian-Jenner family deepened, especially through his friendship with Kim’s half-sister, supermodel Kendall Jenner.
Hamilton and Kardashian were also spotted together in 2024 when both were honored at the Wall Street Journal’s Innovator Awards - he for his sports achievements and her for her shapewear company, Skims.
Kardashian Speaks Out Against ICE
Reports on the pair's budding relationship come after the reality TV star voiced support for the victims of ICE raids in the US.
She condemned the shootings in a post on X, which read: "In response to the recent tragic deaths of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Silverio Villegas González, and Keith Porter Jr. and other victims, I stand in solidarity with calls for accountability and compassionate immigration enforcement."
"I stand with the families and children nationwide who are facing separation, fear, trauma, and loss amid these actions," she added.
Kardashian also revealed she made a significant donation to the National Immigration Law Center, an organization that supports low-income immigrants' rights.
