Lewis Hamilton was reportedly asked about his newfound romance with Kim Kardashian for the first time after they were spotted together at the Super Bowl.
Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz caught up with Hamilton, 41, on Wednesday, February 11, during the first day of testing in Bahrain ahead of the upcoming Formula 1 season.
In a video diary for Sky Sports, Kravitz noted that while he briefly interviewed Hamilton on camera, he “chickened out” of asking the race car driver about his new relationship.
Kravitz, 51, then revealed that Hamilton was indeed asked about Kardashian, 45, in interviews with other outlets but played it coy.
“I can tell you he was asked that in the written press,” Kravitz said. “He was asked, ‘Did you enjoy your company more than the game at the Super Bowl?’ and he said, ‘It’s my private life. I’m not talking about that.’ So that’s me told.”
On Sunday, February 8, Hamilton and Kardashian were spotted taking in the Super Bowl LX game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks from a private box at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Kardashian was spotted wearing a black fuzzy coat, oversized sunglasses and a large diamond choker while she put her hair up in a bun. Hamilton was also clad in all black.
Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly exclusively that the longtime friends had recently gone from platonic to romantic.
The insider said the pair had been on “a few dates recently” but described the budding romance as a “casual” one.
“She has felt ready to put herself back out there recently,” the source said.
“Everyone around her wants her to be happy after everything she has gone through,” the source added.
Rumors began swirling about a potential romance after Hamilton and Kardashian were spotted together at the Estelle Manor luxury hotel and country club in Oxfordshire, England, in late January. On February 2, TMZ reported that the stars were seen checking into a hotel in Paris.
Kardashian was previously married to rapper Kanye West, with whom she shares four children: daughters North, 12, and Chicago, and sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, 6.
Kardashian and West, 48, were married from 2014 until late 2022, when they finalized their divorce. (The All’s Fair actress initially filed for divorce in February 2021.)
“We’ll always be family,” Kardashian recently told Complex of her relationship with West. “We both know that. We will be OK, and there’s so much love for our family. We want what’s best for our kids.”
Since her split from West, Kardashian has been linked to former Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.
Hamilton, for his part, had an on-off relationship with singer and Tony winner Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 to early 2015.
“I’m devastated that it didn’t work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make but we made it together,” Scherzinger, 47, said in February 2015 after they split for the final time. “I love Lewis and I know he loves me. We wish nothing but happiness and the very best for one another. I’m trying to stay strong in my faith right now.”
