Lewis Capaldi is keeping up with Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton‘s romance.
In fact, the “Someone You Loved” singer had the best reaction when he was misidentified as the Kardashians star’s date to Justin Bieber‘s April 11 performance at Coachella.
After a fan account posted a video of Kardashian cozying up with Hamilton alongside the caption, “Lewis Capaldi spotted with Kim Kardashian at Coachella,” Capaldi jokingly replied on X (formerly Twitter), “wow guys not cool such an invasion of our privacy.”
Indeed, it was Kardashian, 45, and Hamilton, 41, who were the ones at the music festival. The pair were joined by Kim’s 12-year-old daughter North West, who the SKIMS founder shares with ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West.
Kim’s younger sister Kendall Jenner was also spotted in the crowd, as were Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
Though Kardashian and Hamilton have known each other since the mid-2010s, they sparked dating rumors earlier this year when they were seen boarding a private plane to Paris together. Speculation were only further fueled in March, when the Formula 1 driver left a flirty comment on Kardashian’s Instagram post.

And after Kardashian joined Hamilton at Tokyo ahead of his appearance in the Japanese Grand Prix, the pair went Instagram official earlier this month, with the racing champion posting a video of the reality star sitting in the passenger seat of a car as he helmed the wheel.

But it took some time for Kardashian to open up her heart after finalizing her divorce from West—with whom she also shares kids Saint West, 10, Chicago West, 8, and Psalm West, 6—in 2022.
“You get really comfortable the longer you’re single,” she admitted in a November episode of The Kardashians. “You get really comfortable being single and the thought of you sharing a bed or your TV shows with someone else becomes less and less appealing because you get set in your ways.”
Addressing concerns from family and friends that she was paying too much attention to her career, Kardashian continued, “It’s OK to close down a bit and focus on the things that I want in life.”
She added, “When the right person comes along, I’ll be so ready and everything will be fine.”
But Kardashian isn’t the first famous figure Hamilton has dated. Read on for a guide to his past loves.
Danielle Lloyd
Though Lewis Hamilton and Celebrity Big Brother star Danielle Lloyd eventually veered in different directions, they enjoyed a brief fling after meeting at a London nightclub in the early aughts.
“We were both out with friends, but there was a bit of a spark and we swapped numbers,” the model explained to the Daily Mail in 2007. “After that I went back to Liverpool and he lived in London but we stayed in touch.”
And though he was on hand to see Lloyd crowned Miss England in 2004, distance sent the then-teenagers down separate paths. “He’s a special person,” said Lloyd, “but there’s no more romance.”
Jodia Ma
Before Hamilton really set hearts racing as a well-known Formula 1 driver, he was fully buckled in with Jodia Ma, his classmate at England’s Cambridge School of Arts.
“We are still very good friends and we are still in contact with each other,” she told the Daily Mail once their four-year romance reached its finish line in 2007. “Lewis is a very kind and caring person.”
He just needed to be fully in the driver’s seat as he began his rookie year with F1. “We didn’t split up because there was anything wrong with our relationship,” Ma noted, “but rather because we both wanted to pursue our different careers.”
Nicole Scherzinger
From 2007 to 2015, Hamilton didn’t have to wish his girlfriend was hot like The Pussycat Dolls leader singer Nicole Scherzinger. On-and-off after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November 2007, the Hertfordshire native acknowledged they weren’t exactly racing toward the altar.
“I’m certainly feeling pressure, heat from family members,” he told E! News in December 2014. “But Nicole’s massively focused on her work the same as I am. We’re happy just the way we are.”
Until they weren’t.
“I’m devastated that it didn’t work out,” the future Tony Award winner told UK’s The Sun after they split for the final time months later. “It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together.”
Gigi Hadid
Kendall Jenner
As for reports Hamilton once dated Jenner? So not bible.
“Me and Kendall have been friends for a while,” he insisted to E! News ahead of the Opening Ceremony runway at New York Fashion Week in September 2015, “so we’re just friends.”
In other words, their NYC hangs were strictly platonic.
“She’s doing incredible,” Hamilton raved of Jenner’s modeling career. “She’s very focused, very level-headed, and she’s just—for such a young woman, she’s very grown up.”
Rihanna
After ending his up-and-down romance with Scherzinger, Hamilton seemed to have love on the brain when he joined Rihanna at the annual August 2015 carnival celebrations in her native Barbados. Days later, they boarded a yacht for a spin through the Carribean.
“She is taking it very slow and just having fun,” a source explained to E! News at the time, “but she likes who he is and what he is about.”
As for if they really found love in a not-so-hopeless place, “I’ve known Ri for a long time,” Lewis told E! at the MTV VMAs that same month. “We’ve been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again.”
Rita Ora
It’s unclear if Rita Ora ever let the seven-time Formula 1 champ love her. But the two were spotted on a series of dinner dates in 2016, culminating with the singer—now married to Taika Waititi—cheering Hamilton on at the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix that November.
Barbara Palvin
Hamilton also seemed to enjoy a brief joy ride with model Barbara Palvin. Photographed together during Paris Fashion Week in March 2016, they sat side-by-side at the Cannes Film Festival’s amfAR gala that May.
While she also supported him at the F1 Grand Prix in her native Hungary that summer, by the following year she was living the suite life with future husband Dylan Sprouse.
Winnie Harlow
Though Hamilton was linked to model Winnie Harlow in late 2016 after they both attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards, he insisted no one had claimed a spot in his passenger seat.
“I was in a long-term eight-year relationship,” he explained during an October appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, “so I’m focused on my racing and trying to win the championship this year.”
Still, Harlow popped up at more than a few pitstops: Spending time with him at the 2017 amfAR gala, rooting him on at the Monaco Grand Prix and joining him for getaways to Monte Carlo and Greece.
And roughly a year after they posed together at the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City, she was on hand for a race in Monaco.
Sofia Richie Grainge
They’ll always have Paris. After Hamilton was seated alongside Sofia Richie Grainge for the Balmain show at the French city’s fashion week in January 2017, they enjoyed a few outings together back in Los Angeles.
Though a source told E! News the two weren’t officially a couple, they “liked spending time together.” But by year’s end, Richie Grainge, now married to music exec Elliot Grainge, was officially keeping up with Scott Disick.
Nicki Minaj
Years after Hamilton watched the 2016 Alexander Wang runway show alongside Nicki Minaj, he appeared to have her heartbeat runnin’ away. Not only did they arrive to the September 2018 TommyXLewis Launch Party in NYC together, they shared an ATV in the deserts of Dubai soon after.
“Caribbean tingz what I on,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram selfie. “Me & Lewis gettin paper like what ink dry on.”
Kim Kardashian
Hamilton appeared to say “bonjour” to a new romance when he and Kim Kardashian boarded a private jet from his native England bound for Paris in February 2026.
And though, dearest gentle reader, Kardashian has yet to officially confirm their romance, she did appear to be burning for a love story. Sharing a glimpse of her night in the City of Light, she wrote on Instagram, “Bridgerton season 4 and Hotel Coste Cheesecake.”
It appears she’s been riding shotgun with Hamilton in the weeks since, the two getting into the game at the 2026 Super Bowl, traveling through Tokyo and seemingly making their love Insta official with an April 2026 video.
