It looks like Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton’s relationship is on the right track.
Because after months of fans doing laps around the internet to find out where the two stand, The Kardashians star appeared to hard-launch her romance with the race car driver.
In a June 1 Instagram post simply captioned "lately," Kim could be seen riding bikes with Lewis along New York City's West Side Highway. And as followers watched her scream while swerving on the path, they couldn’t help but squeal with delight over the pair.
"You and Lewis Hamilton look great together," one commenter wrote while another called them by their celebrity nickname, “Kimilton.”
Now, the two seem to be putting the pedal to the metal on their romance. On July 13, Kim posted photos of her "summers at the lake with my favorite people," which included kids North West, 13, Saint West, 10, Chicago West, 8, and Psalm West, 7 as well as Lewis.
Though Kim and Lewis have yet to cross the finish line in terms of publicly detailing their relationship status, they have been inching towards it. Like when the athlete was asked about seeming happier on and off the track during a Q&A session ahead of the British Grand Prix on July 3, and he credited not only his Ferrari team but also "of course Kim."
Plus, her sister Khloe Kardashian practically confirmed they’re each other’s co-passengers.
At a family screening of the new Michael Jackson biopic Michael, "it was everyone and their boyfriends," Khloe shared on the May 20 episode of her podcast Khloe In Wonder Land, name-checking Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker, "and then me and my mom [Kris Jenner]. I loved it."
Still, Kim and Lewis had already buckled up for all the dating speculation. Earlier in May, they were photographed exiting the Broadway play The Fear of 13—that counts Kim as a producer—hand in hand. And weeks before, the SKIMS mogul and the Formula One champion were spotted embracing at a beach in Malibu, Calif.
There was also their joint sighting at Coachella in April, her cameo in one of his Instagram videos following their March trip to Japan as well as some social media love—Lewis dropping a heart-eyed emoji underneath a photo of Kim wearing a Gucci gown to Vanity Fair’s 2026 Oscars after-party. Add this to their appearance at the 2026 Super Bowl and February getaway to Paris—after the pair were photographed at the same New Year’s Eve party—and it’s no wonder fans were cruising along with the romance rumors.
However, Lewis wasn’t about to go full throttle in terms of letting the public in right away. When asked about the Super Bowl date, detailed Sky Sports reporter Ted Kravitz, Lewis told the unnamed outlet, "It’s my private life. I’m not talking about that."
Perhaps it’s understandable why Lewis wanted to pull the brakes on this subject, having expressed how difficult it can be to balance his personal life with his career.
"Yes, it's very complicated, especially in today's world," the 41-year-old—who previously dated Nicole Scherzinger and was linked to Gigi Hadid, Rita Ora and Sofia Richie Grainge—told RTBF in 2025. "I see other drivers and I wonder how they manage: Some have children, are married, have girlfriends. I went through that in my twenties. I made a different choice: I decided to maximize the time I have here because it's shorter than people think. I don't want any regrets, or to think I could have given more."
Meanwhile, Kim has had her own concerns about entering a new relationship, especially after seeing how ex-husband Kanye "Ye" West—dad to North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm—treated her former boyfriend Pete Davidson.
"It has definitely affected that," she admitted on an October episode of Call Her Daddy, discussing the toll on her dating life. "There has been situations where I’ll get close to someone and then it’s like, 'Wait, wait, wait, wait. I don’t really want to deal with your ex, and I don’t want to deal with if he’s going to say something.' And I’m like [sigh]. So it has been a little frustrating, but then I get like, 'My person wouldn’t care about that.' But it is a big thing and I get it. It’s not an easy thing."
And any new partner would have to keep up with her daily hustle. "I just don’t know if I have the energy—or maybe I just haven’t met the right person—that I’d want to blend my life with," the 45-year-old continued. "I don’t know."
Still, Kim wasn’t going to let these fears drive away her dreams of finding her ride-or-die. And while the All Is Fair star—who was also previously married to Damon Thomas and Kris Humphries—has made it clear she wasn't going to speed into a new relationship right away, she'd give the green light to finding love again.
"I’m the biggest hopeless romantic," she said on a November episode of The Kardashians. "When the right person comes along, I’ll be so ready and everything will be fine."

Kris Jenner
Why, yes, Kris Jenner and longtime love Corey Gamble are still doing amazing, sweetie. In 2014, the music industry insider approached the world's most famous momager at fashion designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday bash in Ibiza and "I just tried saying, 'You're beautiful. I'd love to get to know you,'" he shared on the family's OG series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, "and it went from there."
Kourtney Kardashian
With all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian's husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara. The Blink-182 drummer marked the occasion by filling their room at the famed Kennedy Cottage with rose petals and gifting her with a $161,819 piece by artist Yoshitomo Nara.
The Poosh founder has fully embraced her new life as the girl at the rock show. And in November 2023, she and Travis welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen Barker.
Kim Kardashian
As Kim Kardashian put it in a trailer of The Kardashians, "Things change really quickly." When season two wrapped, the SKIMS founder was still living it up with then-Saturday Night Live standout Pete Davidson.
She later got fans hoping she was getting back in the dating game with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
Alas, the mom to North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West—with ex-husband Kanye West—wasn't on the hunt for a new teammate. "They have friends and business partners in common, but [are] not dating," a source told E! News in May 2023. "Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school and preparing for American Horror Story."
She briefly dated Odell Beckham Jr. until news broke of their split in April 2024.
As a source told E!, Kim is "open to finding love again if she meets the right person."
In early 2026, she fueled romance rumors with Lewis Hamilton. And in June of that year, the reality star hard-launched her relationship with the F1 driver on Instagram.
Khloe Kardashian
In a 2023 episode, Kris shoots her shot while chatting with Khloe Kardashian about Tristan Thompson, asking, "How's everything going with Tristan?" Safe to say the Good American founder has the basketball player benched for now. Though the exes have worked out a game plan for raising daughter True and son Tatum, Khloe shot down the idea that they're back together in May 2023, calling the narrative "tiring."
She's more interested in starting a fresh story. After meeting Love Is Blind star Alexa Lemieux the following April, Khloe pitched a winning idea to Netflix, writing on Instagram, "I think some of us single K sisters should go on LIB. What do you think?"
Kendall Jenner
Months after Kendall Jenner's split with NBA guard Devin Booker in fall 2022, the model's love life got an assist from friends Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. The married duo were spotted enjoying a double date with the reality star and musician Bad Bunny in February 2023. The following December, it was reported that the two had called it quits.
Then in the spring of 2026, fans started to wonder if a new romance was in bloom as Kendall was spotted hanging out with Jacob Elordi.
Kylie Jenner
Seems Kylie Jenner has found herself a new beautiful boy. Last seen publicly with rapper Travis Scott—dad to her daughter Stormi and son Aire—at an Art Basel party in December 2022, the beauty mogul, has been linked to Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet since April 2023. Now, rise and shine because you don't want to miss the glimpses they've given us of their romance at New York Fashion Week and the US Open, as well as live on TV, when they showed PDA while seated together at the 2024 Golden Globes and 2025 Oscars.
