Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have been together for six months, and things are clearly serious. After keeping their romance relatively private, they've been letting fans into their busy lives, and given their busy schedules, they're doing their part to make it work.

But according to a US Magazine insider, they remain "very serious and committed to their relationship."
They explained that Hamilton is the "real deal" for the billionaire and "something she hasn’t experienced in a long time."

The pair have had a busy summer together, traveling around Europe and spending time in the U.K., and just went on a family trip to Hawaii.
When they aren't traveling the world, US Magazine's source said, when they're together, they prefer keeping things private and low-key, "spending time at home."
Their relationship has also taken an important step when it comes to Kim's family. For the Fourth of July, Hamilton joined Kim and her four children she shares with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

According to a source, the trip was especially meaningful because Hamilton was able to bond with her kids, "and it was really nice for everyone to be together." They said Kim loved how "great he is around her kids." "They played games and spent time on the lake doing wholesome family activities. It was cute.”
And it is not just Kardashian’s children who have welcomed the seven-time Formula 1 world champion. Her sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian are also said to be fans of the relationship.

While Hamilton once shut down questions about Kim, he has also begun sharing more personal glimpses of their relationship himself.
On August 7, he posted a carousel of candid photos from his recent weeks, including intimate moments with Kim. He captioned the post, “Resting, restoring, recharging,” giving fans another glimpse into the quieter side of their romance.
And today, August 17, Kim shared a carousel from a vacation in Hawaii which included surfing, time with the kids, sunset walks on the beach, and a steamy mirror selfie.

A PEOPLE insider said she was leaning on Hamilton as she mourned the loss. “Lewis has been caring and sympathetic,” the insider said, adding that Kardashian has been relying on the Formula 1 champion while grieving.
The couple first sparked romance rumors earlier this year after being spotted together in Aspen and later traveled together internationally. Their relationship became increasingly public over the following months, with appearances in Paris, Japan and at Formula 1 events.
By the summer, Hamilton had moved beyond simply being Kardashian’s rumored love interest and had become a visible part of her family circle.
