After being seen together at Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton and reality television mogul Kim Kardashian have been increasingly public about their budding romance. From overlapping social circles, public sightings, and international outings, Kardashian and Hamilton are been spotted together from California to Paris.
But the pair’s relationship isn’t all lighthearted fun and butterflies since the coupling revives memories of Hamilton’s past romantic connection to Kim’s younger half-sister, Kendal Jenner. Here’s what to know about this potentially messy ‘family affair’ (per se) and whether Kim will be seen hanging around the Ferrari paddock when the 2026 Formula 1 with the Australian Grand Prix on Saturday March 7, 2026 – or if Lewis Hamilton will make an appearance on Kim’s reality show, “The Kardashians”.
Overlapping Social Circles Between Hamilton & The Kardashians Makes Things Complicated

The buzz about Kim Kardashian’s romance with Lewis Hamilton intensified after the two were reportedly seen attending similar high-profile events and sharing mutual friends in fashion and entertainment circles. Hamilton is notably a fashion enthusiast as he co-hosted The Met Gala in 2025, and Kardashian is the founder of her billion-dollar apparel company, SKIMS, so it makes sense that the two would have overlapping social networks.
Despite having been seen out together on multiple occasions in recent weeks, it’s important to note that both Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian are known for maintaining a degree of privacy despite living highly public lives professionally. Hamilton has often spoken about how the constant spotlight can complicate romantic relationships. In interviews he’s previously conducted, Hamilton has emphasized his desire to focus on his career and personal growth, especially during pivotal moments like his transition from Mercedes to Ferrari. Similarly, Kim has advocated that she’s trying to balance running several businesses with motherhood. She shared four children with her ex-husband, Kanye West.

What adds another layer to the story is Lewis Hamilton’s previously rumored romantic connection to Kendall Jenner, Kim’s younger half-sister and co-star of the sisters’ “The Kardashians” show. Jenner, one of the world’s highest-paid supermodels, moves in many of the same elite social circles as Lewis Hamilton has been seen. The idea that Hamilton could now be linked to her sister has naturally sent the internet into overdrive.
Several years ago, Hamilton and Jenner were spotted together at numerous public events and enjoying time in the sun on private yachts. Particularly given the latter sightings, buzz of a growing romance between the Ferrari Formula 1 driver and supermodel abounded. Though neither party confirmed a serious relationship, their public appearances were certainly enough to ignite headlines around the world and to get fans excited about a new high-profile love story.
