Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have officially made their relationship public. The couple, who first sparked dating rumors in February, made their social media debut on Monday, June 1, after the reality TV alum, 45, shared their first images together.
In a post titled “Lately,” Kardashian captioned a carousel of photos that featured a video of her and the F1 driver, 41, on bikes. In the short clip, Hamilton filmed while steering his bike with one hand, while the Skims founder attempted to pose before her bike began veering to the right, prompting a quick scream.
Fans were immediately captivated by the new romance. Many expressed shock that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum finally publicly confirmed the relationship after months of speculation. One supporter wrote in the comments section, “SHE DONE POSTED HERSELF WITH LEWIS,” while another said, “You and Lewis Hamilton look great together 😍👏.” A third added, “Just like Kim, [I] will never give up on love 👏.” Another commented, “FINALLY POSTING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The British race car driver and All’s Fair actress were first spotted together in February after an overseas “romantic meetup,” as a source confirmed to People at the time. The outlet claimed the pair flew into the United Kingdom on a private jet and stayed at a luxury hotel in the English countryside before continuing to Paris.
Hamilton and Kardashian’s connection actually dates back years, when they first posed together at the GQ Man of the Year awards in 2014. The pair have only continued to fuel dating rumors, as they’ve been spotted on several PDA-filled outings.
Kardashian is reportedly “very happy” in her new romance, so much so that she allows Hamilton around her four children, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
“Kim’s very selective when it comes to the people she allows around her kids. She’s very protective of them and doesn’t take new introductions lightly,” a source told a news outlet on June 1. “The fact that Lewis has spent time with the kids reflects how much she trusts him.”
The insider explained that the Hulu personality “never wanted to rush anything” in her new relationship, adding, “But she’s very happy with how things are.”
“He’s a great guy,” the source concluded.
