Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and reality star Kim Kardashian were photographed on a Malibu beach — swimming together in the ocean, kissing, and looking completely at ease.
On Monday, April 20, the couple appeared at a Malibu beach on the Pacific coast. Kardashian wore a black bikini with a half-unzipped wetsuit, while Hamilton was in a black rash guard and swim trunks.
How It All Started
Hamilton and Kardashian have known each other for over a decade — both have moved in the same A-list circles. But romantic rumors began spreading in February 2026, when the pair were spotted together in the Cotswolds and Paris.
Their first public appearance came at Super Bowl LX. Then, in early April, Hamilton posted a video on Instagram titled "Here We Go Again Tokyo Drift Vol. III" — drifting a Ferrari F40 through the streets of Tokyo, with Kardashian revealed in the passenger seat.
Since then, things have moved fast. The couple appeared at the Coachella Festival, where they watched Justin Bieber's headline set.
Why Now
Hamilton has had a break from the F1 calendar recently. Both April's Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix were cancelled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, giving the Ferrari driver a five-week window away from racing.
The Reaction
Photos and videos from the outing have gone viral on social media, racking up millions of views. One tweet from an F1 fan went particularly viral: "We don't wanna get updated, man. Keep that to yourself."
Neither Hamilton nor Kardashian has officially confirmed the relationship. But after the Malibu photos, the "just friends" narrative is getting harder to believe.
