Kim Kardashian Proves Her Bond Is Strong With Lewis Hamilton's Family

Danielle Lloyd

Though Lewis Hamilton and Celebrity Big Brother star Danielle Lloyd eventually veered in different directions, they enjoyed a brief fling after meeting at a London nightclub in the early aughts. 

"We were both out with friends, but there was a bit of a spark and we swapped numbers," the model explained to the Daily Mail in 2007. "After that I went back to Liverpool and he lived in London but we stayed in touch."

And though he was on hand to see Lloyd crowned Miss England in 2004, distance sent the then-teenagers down separate paths. "He's a special person," said Lloyd, "but there's no more romance."

Jodia Ma

Before Hamilton really set hearts racing as a well-known Formula 1 driver, he was fully buckled in with Jodia Ma, his classmate at England's Cambridge School of Arts. 

"We are still very good friends and we are still in contact with each other," she told the Daily Mail once their four-year romance reached its finish line in 2007. "Lewis is a very kind and caring person." 

He just needed to be fully in the driver's seat as he began his rookie year with F1. "We didn’t split up because there was anything wrong with our relationship," Ma noted, "but rather because we both wanted to pursue our different careers."

Nicole Scherzinger

From 2007 to 2015, Hamilton didn't have to wish his girlfriend was hot like The Pussycat Dolls leader singer Nicole Scherzinger. On-and-off after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November 2007, the Hertfordshire native acknowledged they weren't exactly racing toward the altar. 

"I'm certainly feeling pressure, heat from family members," he told E! News in December 2014. "But Nicole's massively focused on her work the same as I am. We're happy just the way we are."

Until they weren't. 

"I’m devastated that it didn’t work out," the future Tony Award winner told UK's The Sun after they split for the final time months later. "It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together."

Gigi Hadid

Well before Gigi Hadid dove into the deep end with Bradley Cooper, she waded into the shallows with Hamilton. After hanging with the athlete at the May 2015 amfAR gala, the model brought her squad—including sister Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber—to cheer for Hamilton at the Formula 1 World Championship in France. 

"We love you @Lewishamilton," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "Everyone knows you da champ. #TEAMLH."

Though the pair didn't exactly race off into the sunset, they did later team up for a 2018 Tommy Hilfiger campaign. 

Kendall Jenner

As for reports Hamilton once dated Jenner? So not bible.

"Me and Kendall have been friends for a while," he insisted to E! News ahead of the Opening Ceremony runway at New York Fashion Week in September 2015, "so we're just friends."

In other words, their NYC hangs were strictly platonic. 

"She's doing incredible," Hamilton raved of Jenner's modeling career. "She's very focused, very level-headed, and she's just—for such a young woman, she's very grown up."

Rihanna

After ending his up-and-down romance with Scherzinger, Hamilton seemed to have love on the brain when he joined Rihanna at the annual August 2015 carnival celebrations in her native Barbados. Days later, they boarded a yacht for a spin through the Carribean. 

"She is taking it very slow and just having fun," a source explained to E! News at the time, "but she likes who he is and what he is about."

As for if they really found love in a not-so-hopeless place, "I've known Ri for a long time," Lewis told E! at the MTV VMAs that same month. "We've been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again."

Rita Ora

It's unclear if Rita Ora ever let the seven-time Formula 1 champ love her. But the two were spotted on a series of dinner dates in 2016, culminating with the singer—now married to Taika Waititi—cheering Hamilton on at the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix that November. 

Barbara Palvin

Hamilton also seemed to enjoy a brief joy ride with model Barbara Palvin. Photographed together during Paris Fashion Week in March 2016, they sat side-by-side at the Cannes Film Festival's amfAR gala that May. 

While she also supported him at the F1 Grand Prix in her native Hungary that summer, by the following year she was living the suite life with future husband Dylan Sprouse. 

Winnie Harlow

Though Hamilton was linked to model Winnie Harlow in late 2016 after they both attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards, he insisted no one had claimed a spot in his passenger seat. 

"I was in a long-term eight-year relationship," he explained during an October appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, "so I’m focused on my racing and trying to win the championship this year."

Still, Harlow popped up at more than a few pitstops: Spending time with him at the 2017 amfAR gala, rooting him on at the Monaco Grand Prix and joining him for getaways to Monte Carlo and Greece. 

And roughly a year after they posed together at the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City, she was on hand for a race in Monaco. 

Sofia Richie Grainge

They'll always have Paris. After Hamilton was seated alongside Sofia Richie Grainge for the Balmain show at the French city's fashion week in January 2017, they enjoyed a few outings together back in Los Angeles. 

Though a source told E! News the two weren't officially a couple, they "liked spending time together." But by year's end, Richie Grainge, now married to music exec Elliot Grainge, was officially keeping up with Scott Disick. 

Nicki Minaj

Years after Hamilton watched the 2016 Alexander Wang runway show alongside Nicki Minaj, he appeared to have her heartbeat runnin' away. Not only did they arrive to the September 2018 TommyXLewis Launch Party in NYC together, they shared an ATV in the deserts of Dubai soon after. 

"Caribbean tingz what I on," she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram selfie. "Me & Lewis gettin paper like what ink dry on."

Kim Kardashian

Hamilton appeared to say "bonjour" to a new romance when he and Kim Kardashian boarded a private jet from his native England bound for Paris in February 2026. 

The two appeared in an Instagram video together two months later, before letting fans into their love life with a hard launch in June 2026.

Since then, the pair have continued to heat up social media with their steamy selfies together. During the summer, they embarked on multiple blended family vacations.
