What Happened to Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian?

Lewis Hamilton, one of Formula 1's most decorated drivers, made a monumental move to Ferrari for the 2025 season, a decision that sent shockwaves through the motorsport world. His debut year with the Scuderia proved challenging, with 2025 being described as his 'worst season ever,' notably failing to secure a single podium finish. Despite these initial hurdles, Hamilton's lucrative Ferrari contract, reportedly between $50 million and $60 million annually with performance bonuses pushing it towards nine figures, solidified his position as the highest-earning driver in F1 history.

Entering the 2026 season, Hamilton expressed a 'reset and refreshed' mindset, aiming for victories and achieving his best result with Ferrari, a P2 finish at the Canadian Grand Prix, in May 2026.

Kim Kardashian, a global media personality and entrepreneur, has continued to expand her business empire. Her shapewear and lifestyle brand, SKIMS, reached a valuation of $5 billion in November 2025, becoming the primary driver of her estimated $1.7 billion to $2 billion net worth. In 2026, SKIMS further diversified with the launch of SKIMS Beauty, encompassing skincare, cosmetics, and fragrance, following the acquisition of her previous beauty venture, SKKN by Kim. Additionally, the NikeSKIMS Spring 2026 collection was unveiled, showcasing her continued influence in fashion. Kardashian's legal aspirations, which saw her pass the 'baby bar' in 2021 and complete a four-year apprenticeship in May 2025, hit a setback when she failed the California Bar Exam in July 2025. Citing a demanding workload and a need to regain confidence, she has reportedly paused her legal studies until at least 2027. Nevertheless, her commitment to criminal justice reform remains strong, as evidenced by her endorsement of legislation for federal minimum wage for incarcerated workers in March 2026 and her initiative to reunite imprisoned mothers with their children for Mother's Day 2026.

The intersection of their lives, particularly in 2026, has been marked by a burgeoning romantic relationship. Rumors of a romance between Hamilton and Kardashian began to circulate in February 2026, following sightings at Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen, a romantic getaway in the UK's Cotswolds, and Paris. Their public appearances together continued to fuel speculation, including at the 2026 Super Bowl and during Hamilton's racing commitments in Tokyo in March 2026. The relationship gained further traction when Hamilton featured Kardashian in an Instagram video from Japan in April 2026, and they were photographed sharing a kiss on a Malibu beach later that month. The relationship was officially 'hard-launched' on Kim Kardashian's Instagram in June 2026, with photos and a video of them on a bike ride in New York, confirming their status as a couple after years of moving in similar social circles.
