AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have been turning heads with their affectionate presence at Coachella 2024, sparking a lot of conversation about their blossoming romance.
The founder of SKIMS, Kim Kardashian, offered a glimpse into her Coachella weekend by sharing a collection of photos from the festival’s first weekend on April 16. Among the highlights was a tender image featuring her and the Formula One champion, Lewis Hamilton. The photo shows Kim perched on the lap of a man aboard the back of a golf cart, her face mask being adjusted. Though the man’s face is obscured, the tattooed hand resting gently on her thigh strongly resembles Lewis Hamilton’s distinctive ink.
In the same snapshot, the man is seen wearing a black sweatshirt that matches the attire Lewis sported during Coachella alongside Kim and her daughter, North West, who is 12 years old. This subtle detail added to the speculation about their relationship.
Social media posts from the festival also captured the duo walking together near the barricade separating the stage from the crowd. Lewis Hamilton, 41, showed his support for his close friend Justin Bieber by wearing a bandana and a “Bieberchella” hoodie, while Kim Kardashian, 45, donned a plunging black halter top with a scarf covering her face, matching the look from her Instagram post. The couple was seen chaperoning North and her friend, both sporting vibrant neon wigs, adding a playful vibe to their group.
Just days before these festival appearances, the pair made their relationship public on Instagram through a video posted by Lewis Hamilton on April 6. The clip showed him driving a red Ferrari through the streets of Tokyo, drifting skillfully as smoke billowed around the car. The camera then revealed Kim Kardashian seated next to him in the passenger seat, smiling and exclaiming, “That’s insane.”
Their dating rumors initially stirred in February when they were spotted boarding a private flight to Paris together. Since then, they haven’t kept their connection under wraps. Lewis Hamilton has been known to comment with flirtatious emojis on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram posts, signaling his affection.
Neither Kim nor Lewis have officially confirmed their relationship status publicly. However, Kim Kardashian previously opened up about her readiness to find a new partner during a November episode of the reality series The Kardashians. She admitted, “I’m the biggest hopeless romantic. When the right person comes along, I’ll be so ready and everything will be fine.”
