THE RUNDOWN
- Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian are in a serious relationship with long-term potential, a source told Entertainment Tonight.
- The insider said the Formula 1 driver “absolutely sees a future with her.”
- The source detailed why this relationship is different for Kardashian, too.
Over half a year after first sparking dating rumors, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are in a committed relationship and thinking about the long term, a source told Entertainment Tonight.
“Lewis is serious about Kim and absolutely sees a future with her,” the insider said. “Kim feels like she’s finally met someone who’s her equal.”
This relationship is different for Kardashian, the source said, citing the Skims entrepreneur’s own personal growth. “Kim feels more confident than ever about who she is and what she wants in a relationship. Everyone close to her can see just how happy she is.”
Last week, Kardashian shared photos of Hamilton on vacation with her and her family. The source detailed the kind of relationship he has with her loved ones, including her four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
“Lewis has formed a sweet bond with Kim’s kids,” the insider said. “They all adore him, including North. [Her sister] Khloé has spent a lot of time around Kim and Lewis and thinks he is exactly the kind of partner Kim deserves.”
Kardashian and Hamilton’s romance began with a real-life friends-to-lovers arc. In early February, a source spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the transition. “Kim and Lewis are spending more time together and seeing where things are going,” the insider said. “They’ve been friends and known each other for years but are now exploring a romantic relationship.”
The source shared more about Kardashian’s perspective, saying, “This has been a fun and refreshing change for her. She’s very intentional about who she lets into her life.”
