Who Is Lewis Hamilton Dating?
As of August 2026, Lewis Hamilton is in a relationship with Kim Kardashian, acknowledged by both of them since mid-2026 after months of media speculation. He has never been married. His only other publicly confirmed relationship was with singer Nicole Scherzinger, on and off from 2007 to 2015.
- Hamilton and Kardashian were first linked in February 2026, each began featuring the other on their own social media from April, and Hamilton has spoken about her supportively and unprompted in press settings since June.
- His only other confirmed relationship was with Nicole Scherzinger, on and off for around seven years; every other high-profile name linked to him, including Kendall Jenner, Shakira, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, was media speculation that neither side ever confirmed.
- Hamilton has never been married or engaged and has generally kept relationship questions short, including a direct refusal to discuss Kardashian in February 2026, before the relationship became public.
Is Lewis Hamilton Dating Anyone Right Now?
Yes. Hamilton is in a relationship with Kim Kardashian, and as of this writing both have acknowledged it through their own public actions rather than a formal joint statement. The link began in February 2026, when the pair were seen sitting together at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara. Asked about it directly a few days later, while testing in Bahrain, Hamilton declined to engage: “It’s my private life. I’m not talking about that.” That reticence held for the next few months even as sightings continued.
The shift came from their own accounts rather than from press questions. In April, Hamilton posted a video from a Tokyo test track showing Kardashian riding alongside him in his Ferrari. In June, Kardashian included a photo of the two of them on a bike ride in a carousel post on her own feed, the first time he had appeared there. Once that was public, Hamilton stopped deflecting: at the Monaco Grand Prix in June, asked about the high-profile supporter in his garage, he said, “It’s amazing to have good people around you, and good people supporting you, and you know, she does that for me every day.” At the British Grand Prix in July, asked why he seemed happier than usual, he answered, “And of course, of course, it’s Kim.” Beyond those comments and the shared posts, Hamilton has not gone into further detail about the relationship.
Is Lewis Hamilton Married?
No. Hamilton has never been married and has never been publicly engaged. In a February 2026 interview, discussing his focus heading into the season, he put it plainly: “I’m hungry, driven, don’t have a wife and kids.” Nothing since has changed that status.
Who Has Lewis Hamilton Dated?
The only relationship Hamilton has ever publicly confirmed, aside from his current one, was with Nicole Scherzinger. The pair met at an awards show in late 2007 and were together on and off for around seven years, a relationship both discussed openly at points during its run rather than one pieced together from sightings. The on-off pattern was itself part of the public record: in November 2013, addressing reports the two were rekindling things after a run of meetings, Scherzinger described the relationship at that point as friendship, saying “we’re just friends” twice for emphasis, while adding that she did not “rule anything out” for the future. That future arrived and then closed for good in early 2015, when the couple split permanently. Scherzinger later described the end of the relationship as a mutual decision that still left her devastated. Neither has publicly connected the other’s name to a specific new relationship since.
Is Lewis Hamilton Dating Kim Kardashian?
Yes, this is now a confirmed relationship rather than a linking. The two were first photographed together as far back as 2014, at an awards ceremony where both had other partners, and crossed paths again at a Paris fashion event in 2016, long before anything romantic was reported. The current relationship traces to a February 2026 sighting at the Super Bowl, and became something both of them treated as public between April and July: Hamilton posting her riding alongside him at a Tokyo test track, Kardashian including him on her own feed for the first time in June, then both speaking or posting about the other through the northern summer’s run of races. Hamilton’s 2026 season has been a turnaround from a difficult first year at Ferrari, and Kardashian has attended several races in that stretch, including the Monaco weekend where he finished on the podium.
Did Lewis Hamilton Date Kendall Jenner?
Linked by coverage in 2015; neither party has confirmed a relationship. The pair were photographed together around the Monaco Grand Prix in May that year and again in New York that September, sightings that drove a run of speculation at the time. Asked about it directly during New York Fashion Week that September, Hamilton was straightforward: “Me and Kendall have been friends for a while, so we’re just friends.” Nothing has surfaced since to suggest otherwise.
Who Else Has Lewis Hamilton Been Linked To?
A handful of other names have been linked to Hamilton over the years by mainstream entertainment coverage, none of them confirmed by either side. Rihanna’s name was attached to his most persistently around 2015, on the back of the two being photographed together socially; Hamilton addressed it directly at the MTV Video Music Awards that year, saying, “I’ve known Ri for a long time, we’ve been friends for a while, we get to hang out every now and again.” Nicki Minaj was linked to him in September 2018 after the pair were photographed together at a New York Fashion Week event and an Instagram post showed them together in Dubai; neither confirmed a relationship. Shakira was linked to him in June 2023, after the two were photographed at dinner in Barcelona following that year’s Spanish Grand Prix, with reports at the time describing the pair as in the early stages of dating; again, neither party confirmed anything, and no further reporting has connected the two names since.
What Has Lewis Hamilton Said About Relationships?
Across two decades in the public eye, Hamilton’s own comments on his relationships have been consistently brief and, until this year, almost always aimed at shutting a rumour down rather than confirming one. Early in his career, in 2007, he brushed off speculation about singer Natasha Bedingfield after helping her out of a car, telling reporters, “I gave her a hand to help her out of the car. I was just being a gentleman.” The pattern repeated with Rihanna and Kendall Jenner in 2015, both addressed with the same word: friends. In February 2026, even as the Kardashian speculation was building, he drew a clean line around the subject: “It’s my private life. I’m not talking about that.” What changed by mid-2026 was not his appetite for discussing the relationship in detail, which has stayed limited, but his willingness to acknowledge it existed at all once it was already public, in the short, warm terms he used at Monaco and Silverstone. His clearest general statement on where he stands personally remains the one about his season, not his love life: hungry, driven, and without a wife and kids.
