Inside Lewis Hamilton’s Stacked Dating History Before Kim Kardashian

by

People following Kim Kardashian’s dating life know she didn’t want to start a new relationship while she was studying for the California bar exam.

Kim Kardashian explained on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy in October that she hadn’t been ready to date while preparing for the bar exam and prioritizing her children. She shares North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6, with her ex-husband, Kanye West, and felt her kids needed extra attention, making it impossible to consider letting someone else help with childcare at that time.

But should an ideal suitor speed into view…

Kim Kardashian, 45, admitted on a recent episode of Kardashians that she’s a true romantic. She said she’s eager to find the right person and believes things will fall into place when she does.

Paris is always a good call, and I was so excited to hear that my friend said ‘yes’ to a quick trip to the city of lights! She and Lewis Hamilton, the amazing British race car driver, hopped on a private jet from England on February 2nd for a little escape.

After a nine-month relationship with Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live and a recent connection to retired NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. in 2024, Kardashian hasn’t commented on any new romantic interests. Instead, she’s been sharing photos from her stylish trip to Paris.

But she’d hardly be the first star to find her heart racing a bit around the 41-year-old. 

Seven-time Formula 1 champion, racing for Ferrari, was in a relationship with singer Nicole Scherzinger for eight years.

Since then, he’s lived a glamorous life, attending events like the Cannes Film Festival, Paris Fashion Week, and trips to Monte Carlo and Greece with celebrities including Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Gigi Hadid, and Sofia Richie Grainge.

He’s downplayed some speculation about his love life, clarifying that he and Kendall Jenner have always been just friends – something he stated in a 2015 interview. But overall, he’s had fun with the attention.

So, buckle in. Because we’re cruising through the racer’s stacked dating history. 

Lewis Hamilton and Danielle Lloyd had a short romance after meeting at a London nightclub in the early 2000s, though they eventually went their separate ways.

We met while both out with friends and felt a connection, so we exchanged numbers,” she told the Daily Mail in 2007. “Even though I lived in Liverpool and he was in London, we continued to talk.”

Although he was there when Lloyd won Miss England in 2004, they grew apart as they got older. “He’s a wonderful person,” Lloyd explained, “but we’re no longer a couple.”

Before Lewis Hamilton became famous as a Formula 1 driver, he was a student at the Cambridge School of Arts in England, where he attended classes with a classmate named Jodia Ma.

She told the Daily Mail that even after their four-year relationship ended in 2007, they remained close friends and stayed in touch. She described Lewis as a genuinely kind and caring person.

Entering his first Formula 1 season, he simply wanted complete control and independence. Ma explained that they didn’t break up due to problems in their relationship, but because they both had separate career goals they wanted to follow.

Between 2007 and 2015, Lewis Hamilton didn’t have to imagine his girlfriend being as attractive as Nicole Scherzinger, the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls. They began a relationship after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November 2007, but Hamilton admitted they weren’t in a rush to get married.

He admitted to feeling stressed by family expectations in a December 2014 interview with TopMob News. However, he emphasized that his wife, Nicole, is equally dedicated to her career, and they are content with their relationship as it is.

Until they weren’t. 

The future Tony Award winner told The Sun that they were heartbroken when the relationship finally ended months later. They explained it was a very difficult choice, but they made it as a couple.

Before her recent relationship with Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid was linked to Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton. They first connected at a charity event in May 2015, and shortly after, Gigi and a group of her friends—including her sister Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber—attended a Formula 1 race in France to support him.

She posted on Instagram, “We love you, Lewis Hamilton! Everyone knows you’re the best! #TEAMLH.”

They didn’t immediately become a couple, but they did collaborate on a Tommy Hilfiger advertising campaign in 2018.

As for reports Hamilton once dated Jenner? So not bible.

He told TopMob News before the New York Fashion Week show in September 2015 that he and Kendall were just friends, emphasizing they’d known each other for some time.

In other words, their NYC hangs were strictly platonic. 

Hamilton praised Jenner’s modeling career, saying she’s doing exceptionally well. He described her as focused, mature, and surprisingly grown-up for her age.

Following his on-again, off-again relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, Lewis Hamilton appeared to be looking for love when he attended the Barbados carnival with Rihanna in August 2015. Shortly after, the pair were seen enjoying a yacht trip through the Caribbean.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News, she’s enjoying getting to know him and isn’t rushing into anything serious, but she’s genuinely interested in him as a person.

Lewis clarified their relationship with Ri, telling TopMob at the MTV VMAs that they’ve been friends for a long time and occasionally hang out. He didn’t confirm a romantic connection, but emphasized their long-standing friendship.

It’s unknown if Rita Ora ever reciprocated Lewis Hamilton’s affections. However, they went on several dinner dates in 2016, and she was seen supporting him at the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix that November. Ora is now married to Taika Waititi.

 

Okay, so back in 2016, it looked like Lewis Hamilton had a fun connection with model Barbara Palvin! I remember seeing photos of them together during Paris Fashion Week, and then they were spotted sitting together at the amfAR gala in Cannes a few months later. It seemed like they were enjoying each other’s company at the time.

She was also there to support him at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in her home country of Hungary that summer, but by the next year, she was living with her future husband, Dylan Sprouse.

Following the GQ Men of the Year Awards in late 2016, rumors circulated linking Lewis Hamilton with model Winnie Harlow. However, Hamilton clarified that he hadn’t publicly confirmed any romantic involvement.

He shared that after being in a relationship for eight years, he’s now concentrating on his racing career and aiming to win the championship this year, as he mentioned during an October interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Despite their split, Harlow was often seen with him – at events like the 2017 amfAR gala, cheering him on at the Monaco Grand Prix, and on trips to places like Monte Carlo and Greece.

About a year after they were photographed together at the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City, she attended a race in Monaco.

The phrase ‘They’ll always have Paris’ seems fitting considering Lewis Hamilton and Sofia Richie Grainge were seen together at Paris Fashion Week in January 2017. Following the Balmain show, they were also spotted enjoying time together back in Los Angeles.

According to TopMob News, Richie Grainge and Scott Disick weren’t officially dating, but they enjoyed each other’s company. However, by the end of the year, Richie – who is now married to music executive Elliot Grainge – was regularly seen with Scott Disick.

Several years after attending the 2016 Alexander Wang fashion show with Nicki Minaj, Lewis Hamilton seemed to have captured her attention. They were later seen together at the TommyXLewis launch party in New York City in September 2018, and shortly after, they shared an ATV adventure in the Dubai desert.

She posted a now-deleted Instagram selfie with the caption, “Living the Caribbean life!” and added, “Lewis and I are making a lot of money, so much so that it feels like the ink on the paper hasn’t even dried.”

In February 2026, Lewis Hamilton seemed to be starting a new relationship when he and Kim Kardashian flew to Paris on a private jet from England.

Although Kardashian hasn’t officially confirmed a relationship, she seemed to be enjoying a romantic evening. She shared on Instagram that she was watching season 4 of Bridgerton and indulging in cheesecake at the Hotel Costes in Paris.
