Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian have taken their relationship public after the Formula 1 champion shared a series of affectionate photos on Instagram, marking the couple’s first official social media confirmation.
The post arrives after months of dating rumors and public appearances, giving fans their clearest indication yet that the pair are in a relationship.
Lewis Hamilton confirms romance with Kim Kardashian
Hamilton, 41, shared several personal moments with Kardashian, 45, on Instagram Thursday. One image showed the pair embracing on a boat, while a video captured Kardashian playfully grabbing Hamilton before they both fell into the water.
Another photo featured Hamilton wrapping his arm around Kardashian as she wore a hoodie from his lifestyle brand, +44, tied around his waist.
He captioned the post, “hold your people close.”
Kardashian responded with a heart emoji in the comments, while her mother, Kris Jenner, also liked the post.
The Instagram upload effectively ended months of speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship.
Romance followed months of public sightings
Dating rumors first surfaced after Hamilton and Kardashian reportedly spent New Year’s Eve together at Kate Hudson’s celebration in Aspen, Colorado.
Since then, the pair have reportedly enjoyed several outings together, including trips to the English countryside, the Super Bowl, Lake Powell in Arizona, Tokyo, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and Malibu.
Earlier this summer, Kardashian also posted photos featuring Hamilton alongside two of her children during a lakeside vacation, although neither publicly addressed the nature of their relationship at the time.
Thursday’s Instagram post serves as their strongest public confirmation so far.
Hamilton’s post comes during family mourning
Hamilton’s relationship announcement came just hours after Kris Jenner revealed that her mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, had died at age 91.
Jenner shared an emotional tribute on Instagram, describing her mother as the heart of the family.
Shortly afterward, Kardashian also honored her grandmother with a heartfelt message, thanking her for teaching valuable lessons about family, work ethic, confidence, and resilience.
She described Shannon as her best friend and the family’s matriarch, saying her influence would continue through future generations.
Fans react as couple makes relationship official
The Instagram post quickly attracted widespread attention as fans celebrated the couple’s long-rumored romance.
Hamilton has largely kept his personal life private in recent years, making the public nature of the post especially notable. Kardashian has also remained relatively quiet about her dating life following previous high-profile relationships.
Their decision to share personal moments together suggests the couple is ready to embrace their relationship publicly after months of speculation.
