Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton looked every bit the celebrity power couple during their glamorous Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
Between public displays of affection, yacht celebrations, and supportive moments after the race, the pair appeared to be enjoying every second together.
However, one body language expert believes some subtle details may tell a more complicated story beneath the surface.
The Monaco Grand Prix marked the most public display yet of Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton’s relationship.
As Hamilton secured a second-place finish for Ferrari, Kardashian was right there to celebrate. The reality star cheered him on from the sidelines before joining him for an affectionate reunion after the race.
Body language expert Judi James described one particular moment as a classic romantic scene. Hamilton blew Kardashian a kiss before making his way over to embrace her, creating what James called a “rom-com moment.”
Yet according to James, the interaction also revealed something else. She suggested that Kardashian appeared to be driving much of the romantic energy between them.
Speaking about the embrace, James told the Daily Mail, “Lewis bent to kiss her on the side of the neck but she intensified or upgraded the signals of passion by pressing her face firmly next to his and pushing her head forward onto his shoulder wearing an expression of bliss.”
She also pointed to Kardashian’s physical closeness, suggesting her behavior transformed a simple affectionate gesture into something more intimate.
Kim Kardashian And Lewis Hamilton’s PDA Raises Questions
While many fans saw the couple’s public affection as evidence of a thriving romance, Judi James interpreted several moments differently.
One incident that caught her attention came during the traditional post-race celebrations when Hamilton sprayed champagne.
“For many women this might have been a red card moment,” James explained.
She continued, “Kim’s styling, her hair and her expensive designer dress would not have been worn to be soaked in sticky alcohol.”
James also suggested that Kardashian had spent much of the day carefully managing her appearance.
“Most of her behaviour that day had been aimed at appearing untouchable and special as her flotilla made its way through the crowds and she was hustled away quickly here to dry off and restyle.”
The expert went even further when analyzing Hamilton’s actions.
She noted, “Soaking her like that might need some careful unpicking in terms of whether Lewis intended to show her who was boss or bring her down a peg or two.”
She then posed another question, “Would he have enjoyed getting similarly soaked when he was in his purple arrival cloak and designer suit? Probably not.”
Private Moments Reveal Another Side Of The Romance
Judi James believes the most revealing interactions happened away from the race celebrations.
Looking at photos of the couple aboard Hamilton’s yacht later that day, she argued that the quieter moments offered a clearer view of their emotional dynamic.
“The bigger cues and clues as to the core emotions of this relationship, which is clearly based on friendship, came with the more “private” moments between the couple later,” she said.
James noted that Kardashian “again showed signals of dedication and ownership by clasping her arms around Lewis’s neck”.
According to the expert, Hamilton responded warmly.
“This was a smiling hug with his arms around her torso in a reciprocal gesture,” James said.
She also analyzed one of their kisses, describing it as a “guppy kiss.”
“It’s the kind of kiss couples do in public when they want to avoid shocking or looking too sexual,” she noted.
In her view, “The moment looked like an exchange of pride and affection but without anyone getting too carried away.”
Kim Kardashian Compared To Lewis Hamilton’s Public Image
Beyond their physical interactions, Judi James also examined how the relationship benefits both stars.
“This power-pairing adds mutual levels of kudos to both their brands and it allows Kim to play “sweethearts” in a way that she never could with the sulky and complex Kanye West or the edgy bad boy that was Pete Davidson,” she said.
Still, she believes the chemistry between Kardashian and Hamilton differs from some of her previous relationships.
James said, “But the body language between Kim and Lewis does lack the simmering heat of both those exes and that might reflect in the way that Kanye has yet to declare his contempt, jealousy or even anger for Lewis in the way he did for ‘Skete’ (He couldn’t even bring himself to call Pete by his proper name).”
The expert then raised another intriguing possibility.
She asked, “Does he approve of Lewis, or is he ignoring this as any ‘threat’?”
Lewis Hamilton Breaks His Silence On Their Relationship
While experts continue dissecting every interaction, Hamilton offered a much simpler perspective.
Following his podium finish, the Ferrari driver publicly acknowledged Kim Kardashian’s support.
“It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have her support. My friends [in general]. It was an incredible turnout overall,” he said.
Hamilton continued, “I don’t know what else to say. It’s amazing to have good people around you and supporting you. And she does that for me every day.”
The racing star also spoke positively about his own outlook despite still searching for his first race victory since joining Ferrari.
He said he felt “inspired to level up” and described himself as “happy, grateful and thankful.”
Whether James’s observations prove accurate or not, one thing is clear: Kardashian and Hamilton’s romance remains one of the most closely watched celebrity relationships of the year, and every public appearance seems to generate a fresh round of conversation.
