FOR every scrap of success Lewis Hamilton has enjoyed behind the wheel of a Formula One car, he has also had a dating life every bit as glamorous and high profile.
Hamilton, 41, was off the pace in his first year with Ferrari as he finished a disappointing sixth place in the World Drivers Championship and failed to score a podium in a season for the first time in his F1 career.
However, things appear to finally be getting into gear for the seven-time world champion in 2026.
After last week’s car shakedown in Barcelona, Hamilton revealed he thought the new regulation 2026 cars were “fun” to drive.
It was then exclusively revealed by The Sun on Monday how Hamilton has found new wheels in his dating life with reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
SunSport takes a look at Hamilton’s dating history, including singers and supermodels.
Kim Kardashian: 2026
Starting with the pair making headlines right now, mum-of-four Kim and Hamilton enjoyed an intimate dinner and a couple’s massage as part of a romantic weekend getaway in the UK.
US reality star Kim, 45, flew in from Los Angeles on her £100million private jet to spend an evening with the British F1 hero.
She arrived with a mountain of luggage for her brief stay at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, with three bodyguards protecting the couple.
Insiders said they were granted exclusive use of the posh spa at the country club in Witney, Oxfordshire, before having a meal in a private room.
A source told The Sun: “It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer.
“She had two bodyguards with her and Lewis had a close protection officer but they remained in the background. Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them.”
Pictures of the pair sneaking into the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds came to light later on, while the pair were also spotted in Paris together for a third date.
Ironically, Kim has been banned from buying special edition Ferrari’s amid reports she failed to look after them.
Nicole Scherzinger: 2007-2015
Hamilton’s most long-term, tumultuous and high-profile relationship was with Nicole Scherzinger.
Nicole was his on-off girlfriend for seven years, but they were long distance for much of the time.
The couple split for good in 2015, and the Pussycat Doll revealed she had cut all contact with her ex-boyfriend a year later.
Hamilton had said in 2014 he had been feeling pressure to get engaged, while Nicole was said to be unhappy that he hadn’t proposed to her.
Sofia Vegara: 2025
Hamilton was spotted having lunch in New York with Sofia Vergara early last year, causing an internet meltdown.
However, nothing else ever came of it and it was reported as merely a casual meeting between friends in a group setting.
Juliana Nalu: 2024
In 2023, Brazilian model Juliana Nalu was spotted at one of Hamilton’s races in Miami and the couple even saw in the new year together.
But Hamilton split with Juliana shortly after, and in early 2024 the F1 star was reportedly active on Raya, a dating app for celebrities.
Shakira: 2023
Shakira reportedly crossed paths with Hamilton at restaurant following a Grand Prix racing event in 2023 and the two hit it off as just weeks later Hamilton and Shakira were photographed on a boat in Miami with friends.
In June 2023, Shakira cheered for the F1 star from the stands of the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, but the romance didn’t last long and it quietly fizzled out by the end of summer.
Camila Kendra: 2021
Hamilton had been friends for many years with fashion model, Camila Kendra.
But their friendship allegedly blossomed into something more after a source told The Sun: “Their friendship started to develop into something more. She was staying at his home in Colorado.
“Although they had been pals for many years — Camila developed feelings for him and it became more romantic.”
Fans of the model even spotted her wearing one of Hamilton’s plaid shirts in an Instagram photo.
Nicki Minaj: 2018
There were reports doing the rounds that Hamilton and Nicki Minaj were dating after they were spotted at New York Fashion Week together.
The pair also shared social media pictures of a getaway in Dubai.
Sofia Richie: 2016
An unconfirmed relationship of Hamilton was with Lionel Richie‘s daughter, Sofia.
They were pretty close at Couture Fashion Week in Paris before he took her for a “lunch date” in May.
Winnie Harlow: 2016
Model Winnie Harlow was first spotted getting close to Hamilton at the GQ Awards in September 2016, when The Sun reported they left the London party in separate cars – so nobody would cotton on.
Stunning Winnie, who has a rare skin condition called vitiligo was also pictured getting cosy with Hamilton at the amfAR Gala in Cannes, in May 2017.
Barbara Palvin: 2016
Barbara and Hamilton were briefly linked after meeting at the Cannes Film Festival and she was seen with him at multiple Grand Prix throughout the season.
But the romance fizzled out as quickly as it was sparked.
Rita Ora: 2016
Rita Ora and Hamilton never confirmed their relationship, but they were spotted together on numerous occasions and enjoyed a secret sunshine break together in July 2016, while Rita was supposedly pictured leaving his apartment after spending the night together later that summer.
In November of the same year, Rita played the loyal girlfriend by supporting him at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – where Hamilton lost his F1 crown to then Mercedes team-mate to Nico Rosberg.
Rihanna: 2015
Rihanna and Hamilton had been friends for years, but they were rumoured to have taken their relationship to a new level in 2015 when it was thought they enjoyed a summer romance by spending time together in New York.
This was another romantic link that was never confirmed by the pair.
Lotta Hintsa: 2006
