Motor racing champion Lewis Hamilton is dating US reality television star Kim Kardashian, The Sun has reported.
The mum-of-four and the seven-time Formula One world champion are said to have spent a romantic weekend together in the English countryside, which included an intimate dinner and a couple’s massage.
Kim, 45, reportedly flew in from Los Angeles on her £100million private jet to spend time with British F1 ace Lewis, 41. She is said to have arrived with significant luggage for her brief stay at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, accompanied by three bodyguards.
According to sources, the couple were granted exclusive use of the spa at the luxury country club in Witney, Oxfordshire, before dining together in a private room.
A source told The Sun: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer. She had two bodyguards with her and Lewis had a close protection officer but they remained in the background.
“They had a couple’s massage booked in and had full use of the facilities for just the two of them. Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them.”
Lewis, who has known Kim for years and was close to her rapper ex-husband Kanye West, has never previously been romantically linked with her.
Kim touched down on Saturday afternoon at Oxford Airport, where two cars, one dedicated to her luggage, were waiting to make the short journey to Estelle Manor.
An hour later, Lewis, who now drives for Italian team Ferrari, arrived at the Grade II-listed property by helicopter chartered from London’s Battersea Heliport.
An onlooker told The Sun: “Kim’s arrival was very low-key. She was flanked by two bodyguards and was whisked inside. An hour later, around 4pm, Lewis landed in a helicopter and walked inside where other guests were mingling around.”
Sources said the pair shared a room in the main house, which sits within 85 acres of land. They were also given exclusive use of the spa and swimming pool in the evening, followed by a private dinner.
A source added: “They had a couple’s massage booked in and had full use of the facilities for just the two of them.
“It was all kept very quiet — they clearly wanted to have some time for just the two of them. In the evening, they had dinner in a private room so they didn’t have other guests around. Estelle Manor is an incredible place to have a date, it’s so luxurious and glamorous.”
Despite their high profiles, neither Kim nor Lewis shared anything from the weekend on social media, where hotel rooms reportedly cost upwards of £1,000 a night.
Lewis was seen the following morning using the gym and walking around the grounds in a grey tracksuit with the hood up.
The pair are said to have checked out at around 11am and left together in the same two cars that had collected Kim from the airport.
An onlooker claimed one of Kim’s close protection officers was seen carrying her £80,000 Birkin bag alongside eight suitcases.
They said: “While Lewis was walking around and using the front doors, Kim was taken out through a side exit.
“You couldn’t miss it was her, she had about eight suitcases with her which had her name embossed on the side.
“One of her bodyguards was carrying her enormous Birkin bag, it looked so heavy he had to use both his hands to lift it to the car. They left together, along with the bodyguards and drove off.
“Guests who spotted them were murmuring about it because although Estelle Manor normally gets famous, and very rich, guests, it’s not every weekend Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton drop by.”
Kim and Lewis first met on the celebrity circuit and were photographed together with their then-partners, Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger, at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London in 2014.
Lewis later struck up a friendship with Kim’s half-sister Kendall Jenner, who joined him for a lap at the Miami Grand Prix in 2024.
Kim’s mother Kris Jenner has also been pictured with Lewis, including during the Monaco Grand Prix in 2019. In 2015, Kanye invited Lewis to spend Easter with the family, during which they bonded over music.
Kanye said: “Lewis Hamilton’s over at my house and we’re playing some music in my studio. We’re having an Easter brunch and all of the family’s there, my wife’s family, my friends, everything. And everybody’s like, ‘What is this music?’ And I’m like, ‘It’s Lewis Hamilton’s music’. They’re like, ‘Oh my God. It’s really good’.”
Lewis later joined Kim and her family when Kanye headlined Glastonbury that same year. Speaking about Kanye previously, Lewis said: “He’s outspoken, to say the least. I love that. He’s electrifying in everything he does.
“I wish I could be that outspoken, I really do. But I’m signed to brands that have an idealistic image they wish to be connected with, so I need to be careful.”
After Kim’s split from Kanye in 2021, she remained close to Lewis, with the pair later attending the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards, where Lewis was honoured for sport and Kim for her shapewear brand Skims.
Lewis shared a backstage photo from the event and wrote: “It’s such an honour to be recognised amongst a group of such remarkable talent.”
The pair were last seen together publicly after Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party in Aspen, Colorado, where they were spotted leaving separately.
Lewis has previously been linked to several high-profile women, including singer Rita Ora, while his longest public relationship was with Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 to 2015.
Since her divorce, Kim has been linked to American football star Odell Beckham Jr and has spoken openly about her search for a partner.
She previously revealed she had written a manifestation list in August 2024 with 52 requirements, including “good morals and values. A calm person, dependable. Takes accountability, that is my number one thing”.
Asked whether she dated privately in 2025, Kim said she had not, adding: “I haven’t had time, I’m studying. “And when I’m done I will open myself up. And so . . . I opened myself up but I haven’t found anyone.”
The Sun said representatives for both Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were contacted for comment.
