Lewis Hamilton doesn’t just dominate the Formula 1 track; his love life keeps grabbing headlines, too. Lately, Hollywood is buzzing with a potential new romance, and everyone’s talking about none other than him and Kim Kardashian.
Early in 2026, rumors started swirling after fans spotted them together in Paris, then on a cozy weekend in the Cotswolds. Although neither Hamilton nor Kardashian has said a word about whether they’re actually together, showing up at the same hotel and spending time at Estelle Manor definitely got people buzzing.
However, this isn’t Lewis’s first time in these kinds of rumors. Over the past twenty years, he’s been linked with all kinds of celebrities—think models, singers, and more. Sure, there were times when it was a serious relationship; other times, they were just some flirty exchanges and rumored linkups.
Let’s take a look at some of the biggest highlights of Hamilton’s romantic trajectory.
Next came Jodia Ma, whom he met at the Cambridge School of Arts. As per E! News, they dated for about four years, from 2003 to 2007. That was a big time for Lewis, as his racing career was just getting started.
For example, Gigi Hadid popped up with him in 2015. They hit a few events together, and she even worked on a campaign connected to his brand. Then there’s Kendall Jenner. She and Hamilton always seemed friendly, and she actually joined him for a lap at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix.
Then there were Barbara Palvin, Winnie Harlow, Sofia Richie—Hamilton was linked with all of them between 2016 and 2017. However, none of those relationships ever got past the stage of rumors to be confirmed. And people can’t forget Nicki Minaj. In 2018, they showed up at fashion shows and parties together, which got everyone talking.
Over the years, there were other names in the mix, too. In 2023, he and Shakira were spotted together in Miami and at the Spanish Grand Prix. Then there’s Sofia Vergara, and sightings in New York in 2025 set off a fresh round of speculation.

What followed was an on-again, off-again romance that stretched over nearly eight years. Nicole was often seen cheering him on at races, and the press couldn’t get enough. But by 2015, they called it quits for good. According to the above-stated site, Nicole later admitted the breakup was one of the toughest choices they ever made.Rihanna: The summer fling

Neither ever said they were a couple, but people couldn’t stop speculating about a summer fling.Supermodels and rumored linkups: Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Shakira, and more
