It seems that things are really heating up between Lewis Hamilton and his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian! The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” reality star was spotted in the crowd supporting the Ferrari driver at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. While he stood on the podium to celebrate finishing in second place at the racing event, he appeared to blow a kiss to his girlfriend. The pair have only begun dating earlier this year, but it seems that things are quickly getting serious between them!
At the Formula One racing event in Monte Carlo on Sunday, June 7, Hamilton appeared to blow a kiss to the “All’s Fair” actress from the podium while celebrating his finish in second place.
In videos posted on social media, “The Kardashians” reality star could be seen filming the Ferrari driver on her phone while standing next to his teammates in the crowd. Hamilton can be seen blowing her a kiss and smiling at her before setting his trophy down on the podium to cheer on the other champions.
The F1 Instagram account posted a video of the moment with the caption, “YOU’RE DOING AMAZING, SWEETIE.” The post got over 1.2 million likes in just under eight hours, along with over seven thousand comments, with some warning Hamilton about the “Kardashian curse.”
What Is The Kardashian Curse?
The Kardashian curse is a pop culture urban legend that claims that men who start dating anyone in the Kardashian-Jenner family start experiencing a decline in their careers, mental health, or social circle.
The “curse” first appeared in the early 2010s and has been attributed to Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, James Harden, and a few others. Earlier this year, Kendall Jenner appeared in a Super Bowl LX ad mocking the curse by joking about betting on her ex-boyfriends. In 2018, Kanye West also referenced the “Kardashian curse” in his song, “Yikes.”
Khloé Kardashian Also Showed Up To Support Lewis Hamilton
On Saturday, June 6, Kim was seen arriving in Monaco by boat, according to PEOPLE magazine. However, she wasn’t alone. Her sister, Khloé Kardashian, and family friend Simon Huck also showed up to support Kim’s boyfriend.
Hamilton arrived one day earlier, wearing a sheer shirt covered in sequins and tan trousers. Fans suspected that the reality star’s influence might be playing a role in his new wardrobe. Although Kim has known Hamilton for more than a decade, they didn’t start dating until earlier this year.
Kim Kardashian Met Lewis Hamilton In 2014
In 2014, the two crossed paths at the GQ Men of the Year ceremony. However, they didn’t start dating until February 2006, when they had a “romantic meetup” in Paris, as PEOPLE previously reported. The following month, Hamilton left a flirty comment on one of Kim’s Instagram posts, fueling fan rumors.
That same month, they were seen vacationing together in Tokyo with Kim’s four kids: North, 12; Saint, 10; Chicago, 8; and Psalm, 7. Kim shares all four children with her ex-husband, Kanye West. Kim was married to West from 2014 to 2022.
“Kim’s very selective when it comes to the people she allows around her kids,” a source told PEOPLE. “She’s very protective of them and doesn’t take new introductions lightly. The fact that Lewis has spent time with the kids reflects how much she trusts him.”
Kim Kardashian Is Spending More Time With Lewis Hamilton
On June 1, Kim posted a carousel on Instagram that she captioned “lately.” Amid the photos of family and friends, Hamilton can be seen in the fourth slide. The two appear to be on a bike ride together, and Kim seems to be making a face as her bike appears to crash into his.
Many fans were quick to poke fun at their romance, with one fan writing, “Please do not crash into the Ferrari driver. We need him for the weekends.” Another follower admitted, “Was not expecting Lewis Hamilton on your post this afternoon.” A third fan chimed in, “Don’t hurt Lewis, please! He needs to win in Monaco.”
