Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are no longer hiding their love. After being spotted together at Coachella, the pair has now been seen looking incredibly romantic and affectionate during a fun-filled date. The couple was recently caught catching waves together, looking completely smitten and in sync.
The days of being "just friends" are officially over. Looking back, the couple often attended the same events with their respective partners, never imagining that years later, they would become a couple.
September 2014
Back then, Kim was married to Kanye West, the father of her four children, while Lewis was dating singer Nicole Scherzinger. The two couples crossed paths at the GQ Men of the Year Awards on September 2, 2014, in London. Over the following years, Lewis and Kim continued to run into each other at various high-profile events, maintaining a friendly rapport while both were in other relationships.

Life took a turn for Kim Kardashian’s personal life in 2021. In February of that year, the entrepreneur filed for divorce from Kanye West after seven years of marriage and four children together. The divorce was finalized in November 2022. During that period, she took a break from the media frenzy to focus on her own happiness.

That same year, the socialite crossed paths with Lewis Hamilton once again. A notable photo from the WSJ. Magazine 2021 Innovator Awards at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on November 1, 2021, shows the two alongside Kristina O’Neill, Demi Moore, and Kim Jones.
New Year’s 2025
Four years later, the pair reunited at Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party in Aspen. Witnesses at the bash claimed the two appeared to be very close.
Together in the Cotswolds
In February, news broke that they spent a weekend at an exclusive boutique hotel in the Cotswolds, UK. During that British getaway, the couple was extremely careful not to be seen together, and no photos of the pair surfaced at the time.
Super Bowl 2026 and Coachella
Slowly but surely, they stopped dodging the cameras. They began appearing at major events like the 2026 Super Bowl and, most recently, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Confirming the Romance on Social Media
In the digital age, a photo or video with a significant other serves as the ultimate relationship confirmation. Lewis Hamilton was the first to take their romance to social media, sharing a video of himself driving a Ferrari F40 at high speed with the owner of SKIMS in the passenger seat.
