Even though Kim Kardashian attended the iconic Vanity Fair Oscar Party after the awards show, Sir Lewis Hamilton wasn’t by her side… and he had good reason not to be, but not because his affection isn’t with Kim. Instead, the Scuderia Ferrari driver was celebrating his podium finish in the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai. Having just concluded the race mere hours prior to the Oscars event, it was not feasible for Hamilton to make it all the way across the world to Los Angeles for the event with Kardashian. However, it’s clear that his intentions were still romantically intertwined with Kim’s given his bold comment on her Instagram post.
To recap the blossoming romance between Kardashian and Hamilton, they’ve been anything but shy about their relationship thus far. Having been friends as far back as more than a decade ago, the pair have been seen together at the Super Bowl, spending time together lakeside at Lake Powell, spontaneously watching the sunset on the side of the road in Arizona, and supporting one another in their high pressure careers as Lewis Hamilton strives for his eighth World Championship title and Kim Kardashian launches the new SKIMS collaboration with Nike. Now, they’re also supporting one another publicly and we look forward to more Instagram comments from the pair in the future!
