Lewis Hamilton is said to be keen to spend as much time as possible with Kim Kardashian, as their relationship continues to gather pace despite their demanding schedules.
The pair made their first public appearance together at the weekend when they attended Super Bowl LX, where eagle-eyed viewers spotted them together during the broadcast.
In recent weeks, Hamilton, 41, has reportedly been based in Los Angeles, spending time with Kardashian and her family.
According to new reports, the reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with Kim’s inner circle said to “adore and approve” of the seven-time Formula One world champion.
A source told The Sun: “Kim and Lewis’s relationship is intense but they are both keen to keep moving forwards. He wants to spend as much time with her as possible, especially as he’ll be back getting ready for the new F1 season in a couple of weeks.
“Lewis has been in LA, spending time with Kim and her family. They all adore him, especially her mum Kris, who has loved having Lewis around.”
The insider added that the family are fully behind the romance, saying: “They’re all really approving of this relationship. They just want to see Kim happy.”
The Standard has contacted representatives for both Hamilton and Kardashian for comment.
Ahead of the Super Bowl, Kardashian’s longtime hairstylist Chris Appleton shared a photo of her look on Instagram, captioning the post: “Super Bowl bangs.”
The appearance came just days after the pair reportedly enjoyed a luxury stay in the UK.
The US reality star and entrepreneur, 45, is understood to have flown into England earlier this month to spend 24 hours with the Formula 1 champion at Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, a countryside retreat popular with A-list guests.
According to The Sun, Kardashian arrived at Oxford Airport via her £100 million private jet, before being driven the short distance to the exclusive hotel, accompanied by three bodyguards.
Hamilton is said to have joined her an hour later, arriving by helicopter from London.
The pair reportedly stayed in one of the manor’s main house rooms, which start from £1,000 a night, and treated themselves to a private dinner and a couple’s massage in a secluded area of the spa.
Insiders added that the low-key getaway could have cost up to £120,000 once accommodation, treatments and security were factored in.
The couple are said to have checked out at around 11am on Sunday, leaving together in the same two vehicles that had collected Kardashian from the airport.
While Hamilton exited through the main entrance, Kardashian was reportedly ushered out via a side door, though she was later spotted with eight suitcases bearing her name.
Kardashian was later seen making a surprise visit to Selfridges in London.
The pair have moved in similar social circles for over a decade and were previously photographed together at the 2014 GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, alongside their then partners Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger.
Kardashian and West announced their split in 2021 and finalised their divorce the following year.
Hamilton has also been a long-time friend of Kardashian’s sister Kendall Jenner, while her mother Kris Jenner has been spotted cheering him on at races, including the Monaco Grand Prix.
The pair were last seen together at Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party in Aspen.
