Lewis Hamilton gave girlfriend Kim Kardashian a shout-out ahead of the British Grand Prix, calling her the source of his happiness.
“You’ve been a happier man recently, why’s that? Could that be a girlfriend?” one fan asked Hamilton, 41, on Thursday, July 2, as he stood on stage at Silverstone within the U.K., via the Day by day Mail.
Broadcaster David Croft chimed in, joking, “You already know why he’s asking? He just must know if Kimi needs two towels or not,” seemingly referring to Kardashian, 45, unintentionally using Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli’s towel on the Monaco Gran Prix earlier this summer. (Kardashian later sent Antonelli, 19, a brand new towel after realizing her faux pas.)
“Yeah, that’s one,” Hamilton said with fun.
Hamilton — who’s in England for the British Grand Prix, which runs from Friday, July 3, to Sunday, July 5 — didn’t immediately reply to the query about Kardashian, selecting as an alternative to deal with his F1 success over the past yr.
“When you spend a yr with this team, Ferrari is essentially the most iconic team of all time, they usually’ve had a difficult time frame,” the racer explained. “It’s such an incredible team they usually’ve been so welcoming. The primary yr was obviously very tough but to finally see the exertions we’ve been putting in, it’s finally get us back to where we would like to be.”
Hamilton then circled back to the subject of the Kardashians star, adding, “And naturally, after all it’s Kim,” confirming she has upped his level of joy since they began dating.

While Hamilton and Kardashian’s romantic relationship is somewhat recent, their friendship goes back greater than a decade.
The pair memorably posed for photos together on the 2014 GQ Men of the 12 months ceremony when Kardashian was married to Kanye West and Hamilton was dating Nicole Scherzinger.
Hamilton split from Scherzinger, 47, in 2015 after dating on and off for seven years. Kardashian, who shares 4 children with West, 49, divorced the rapper in 2021 after six years of marriage.
Roughly five years after Kardashian’s divorce, she sparked romance rumors with Hamilton after the duo were seen together at Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire, England, on January 31.

It’s amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you, and she or he does that for me daily.”

“Lewis loves kids so it’s been fun for him,” the insider told Us on June 18. “The youngsters think Lewis is admittedly cool, especially Chicago and Saint, who’re completely fascinated by the indisputable fact that he drives race cars for a living.”
While dating Hamilton has made Kardashian “the cool mom” in her kids’ eyes, the TV personality is pretty smitten herself.
In keeping with the insider, Kardashian has been “spending her downtime in between shoots traveling to where Lewis is working,” adding that she “enjoys the fun of the race life and thinks it’s so fun.”
