Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have officially stepped out of the friend zone, and insiders say their romance was years in the making. According to a new report, the SKIMS founder and the Formula 1 legend have shared undeniable chemistry for more than a decade, making their relationship feel “inevitable.”
A Decade in the Making
The pair first crossed paths in 2014 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards. At the time, Kardashian was married to Kanye West, while Hamilton was dating Nicole Scherzinger. Despite being in separate relationships, they continued to move in the same elite circles, sparking what one source described as a “decade-plus long dance.”

Chemistry That Never Faded
RadarOnline reports that Hamilton became a fixture in the Kardashian-Jenner social circle, even spending holidays with the family. Their bond grew stronger over time, built on mutual respect and shared experiences as global icons managing massive business empires under constant public scrutiny.
From Friends to Lovers
The shift reportedly became clear during a romantic getaway to Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds. Observers noted that Kardashian and Hamilton didn’t behave like a couple on a first date. Instead, their subtle gestures and quiet glances suggested a long history of closeness. Their joint appearance at the 2026 Super Bowl further fueled speculation that their friendship had blossomed into romance.
Protecting Their Bond
Sources say Kardashian and Hamilton are keeping their relationship private for now, allowing it to unfold naturally. For fans who have watched them share the same social circles for twelve years, their union feels like the natural finish line. With both stars balancing high-profile careers and global fame, their romance is being described as not just inevitable, but perfectly timed.
