Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian appeared to make their relationship public in a more visible way at the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, June 7, where Kardashian was seen in the crowd supporting the Ferrari driver as he secured second place. In social media videos from the event, Hamilton seemed to blow a kiss toward Kardashian from the podium before smiling and turning back to the celebration. The moment quickly drew attention online, especially after the official F1 Instagram account shared the clip with the caption, “YOU’RE DOING AMAZING, SWEETIE,” attracting more than 1.2 million likes and thousands of comments within hours.
Kardashian was filmed standing near Hamilton’s team while recording him on her phone as he celebrated. The public interaction added to growing speculation that the two are becoming increasingly serious after reportedly beginning to date earlier this year. Their appearance together at Monaco followed other recent signs of closeness, including Kardashian’s visit to the racing event and Hamilton’s continued presence in her social media posts.
The pair’s romance has also been a major topic among fans because of the long-running pop culture idea known as the “Kardashian curse,” a theory that claims men who date members of the Kardashian-Jenner family often experience setbacks in their personal or professional lives. The rumor has followed several high-profile relationships over the years and has been referenced in pop culture, including by Kanye West and in a recent Super Bowl ad featuring Kendall Jenner.
Kardashian was not the only member of her family to appear in Monaco. Khloé Kardashian and family friend Simon Huck were also seen supporting Hamilton at the event. Kardashian reportedly arrived in Monaco by boat a day earlier, while Hamilton was spotted ahead of the race wearing a sequined sheer shirt and tan trousers, an outfit that drew additional attention from fans.
Although Kardashian and Hamilton have known each other for more than a decade, their relationship is said to have turned romantic only recently. The two first met at a GQ Men of the Year event in 2014, but reports suggest their connection deepened after a romantic meetup in Paris earlier this year. Hamilton later left a flirty comment on one of Kardashian’s Instagram posts, further fueling speculation.
Their growing closeness has also been reflected in family settings. Reports say Hamilton has spent time with Kardashian’s four children — North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm — a sign, according to a source, that Kardashian trusts him and takes introductions to her kids seriously. Kardashian shares her children with ex-husband Kanye West, whom she was married to from 2014 to 2022.
On June 1, Kardashian posted a photo carousel captioned “lately” that included Hamilton in one slide, showing the two on a bike ride together. The post prompted a wave of reactions from fans, many of whom joked about Hamilton’s safety and Ferrari’s chances at Monaco.
