Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are racing to say bonjour in a romance that's igniting speculation. The Kardashian star and F1 driver fueled rumors of a budding relationship as they were spotted taking a private flight from the U.K. to Paris in photos obtained by TMZ on Feb. 2. In the pics, Kim and Lewis appeared to board the flight together, bound for the City of Love.
While neither Kim, 45, nor Lewis, 41, have commented on the nature of their relationship, photos published by the Daily Mail on Feb. 2 revealed that the duo also rang in 2026 at the same New Year's Eve Party in Aspen—although they were not photographed together.
The SKIMS founder and racing pro have been friendly for years, with two even posing together at the GQ Men Of The Year awards in 2014 alongside Lewis' then-girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger—whom he dated from 2008 to 2015—and Kim's husband at the time, Kanye West.
Most recently, Kim—who shares North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6, with the rapper—was linked to former NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. in the spring of 2024. Before that, she and Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson were together for nine months in 2022.
When it comes to finding a long-term romance, Kim has been candid about where she stands, especially after her divorce from Kanye was finalized in 2022. "You get really comfortable the longer you're single," the reality star shared on a November episode of The Kardashians. "You get really comfortable being single and the thought of sharing a bed or your TV shows with someone else becomes less and less appealing because you get set in your ways."
Kim also discussed her love life with her All's Fair costar Sarah Paulson on the episode. Sarah noted that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum appeared to need to "protect" herself from the rest of the world. "Even think about the amount of times you're trying to keep everything little and tight around your kids," she told Kim during the episode. "I'm actually wanting more for you of whatever the great romance of your life is, for that to be able to bloom."
Kim agreed with Sarah about the tough exterior she's created but was hesitant to immediately drop it. "I know Sarah feels like I have put up this wall to overprotect myself so that I just may not open up to love," Kim admitted. "But it's OK to close down a bit and focus on the things that I want in life."
But that's not to say she's shut the door to love for good. "I'm the biggest hopeless romantic," she added. "When the right person comes along, I'll be so ready and everything will be fine."
