Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has publicly confirmed his relationship with reality television star Kim Kardashian through a series of social media posts. The couple, who have been linked since early 2026, shared images of a joint vacation on Instagram, marking their first public acknowledgment of the romance following sightings at the Super Bowl and Coachella.
The Public Confirmation
Lewis Hamilton officially acknowledged his partnership with Kim Kardashian via an Instagram post featuring photos and videos of the pair vacationing with Kardashian’s children. Hamilton captioned the post, "Dekaplah orang-orang yang kamu sayangi" (Embrace those you love). Kardashian further solidified the public display of affection by leaving a red heart emoji in the comments section of the post.
This social media debut follows months of speculation regarding the couple’s status. Observers first noted the pair appearing together in public settings as early as April 2026, including high-profile appearances at the Super Bowl and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Balancing Personal Loss and Public Life
The timing of the social media announcement coincided with a period of mourning for the Kardashian family. Only hours before Hamilton’s post, Kris Jenner announced the death of Kim Kardashian’s grandmother, Mary Jo ‘MJ’ Campbell, at age 91.
Kardashian later shared a heartfelt tribute to her grandmother, describing her as a "best friend" and a foundational figure in her life. "You taught us all the importance of family, and those values will always be with us," Kardashian wrote. She specifically credited the late matriarch with teaching her the work ethic required to be a successful businesswoman.
