Kim Kardashian has moved on after her divorce from rapper Kanye West. Like her sisters, she found love again with an athlete.

But she’s reportedly been shunned by those close to him amid claims that she damaged his reputation. Keep reading for more details on the situation.
Kim Kardashian’s Boyfriend Makes Rare Comments About Her
Lewis Hamilton has been a professional race car driver for almost 20 years. He made his Formula One debut in 2007. He’s known Kim Kardashian for decades and was close friends with her ex-husband, Kanye West. At some point, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton became more than friends.
They went public for the first time at the 2026 Super Bowl but haven’t said much about the status of their relationship. Kim Kardashian confirmed that he’s a part of her life in June with an Instagram post featuring a photo of them riding bikes together.
Lewis Hamilton previously shut down questions about his personal life after they attended the Super Bowl together. However, at a recent F1 event in London, he was more forthcoming. During an event for the British Grand Prix, an interviewer remarked that Lewis Hamilton seems “much happier man this year.” Someone else at the event asked if it was because of his new girlfriend, Kim Kardashian.
Rather than dodge the question completely, Lewis Hamilton replied, “That’s a good one,” before moving on to discuss the race. Despite going public, the couple has kept their romance as private as possible.
Kim Kardashian Shunned, Damaging Lewis Hamilton’s Reputation
Lewis Hamilton is one of the most accomplished F1 drivers. He’s won seven World Drivers’ Championships and holds the record for the most Grand Prix wins in Formula One history. However, his team is reportedly concerned that his new romance could harm his career.
“He’s proud to have Kim cheering him on, but she’s not mixing well with the other WAGs [wives and girlfriends]. They find her snooty and fake, plus there’s a lot of talk that his head’s elsewhere when she’s around, and it’s a worrisome distraction,” a source told RadarOnline.

“This is a crucial period for Lewis’ career. He’s doing pretty well right now and his team is anxious to keep the momentum,” the insider added.
Lewis Hamilton joined Kim Kardashian and her four children – daughters North, 13, and Chicago, 8, and sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, 7 – in Tokyo for vacation in March. The romance seems pretty serious, but he has always put his career above his personal life. Tell us in the comments if you think Kim Kardashian could ruin his career.
