Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton shared their first public kiss at the opening night of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, marking a significant step in their relationship. The Skims founder, 45, and the Formula 1 racing champion, 41, attended the glitzy event on Saturday, where they were photographed kissing and hugging, sending fans into a frenzy.
A Night at the Lucas Museum
The couple attended the opening of the 11-acre campus, which includes galleries, theatres, libraries, and restaurants. Lewis Hamilton co-chaired the evening, having been invited by George Lucas himself. The event drew other major stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Michael B. Jordan, Katy Perry, and Justin Trudeau, but Kim and Lewis only had eyes for each other.
Vogue magazine shared a TikTok of Lewis with his 'date', capturing the moment he planted a sweet kiss on Kim's lips, after which she wiped his mouth of any lip gloss. Holding hands, he looked her up and down and complimented the reality TV star, who shimmered in a floral black and gold sequin gown by Tom Ford, perfectly matching his Anthony Vaccarello black suit. Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, was also present, dazzling in a satin blue dress and sequin jacket.
Fan Reactions and Support
In the comments, viewers were quick to share their excitement over Kim and Lewis's public display of affection. Kata wrote: 'Lewis is so sweet. She's lucky to have him.' Another fan, clamis1221, commented: 'The way i like them together … needs to be studied.' Appreciate44 added: 'Ahhh they look so good???', while KhenC noted they had watched the short clip 'a billion times'. Catssss11111111 said: 'By far the best guy and she's glowing', and travelwithmeaz declared they had 'finally found their match'. Others voiced that Lewis 'better treat mama well', calling him a 'British gentleman' and wishing Kim had dated him 'from the start'.
Relationship Timeline
The couple first sparked dating rumours in February when their secret getaway to the Cotswolds was exposed. Since then, they have gradually made more public appearances together, including posing on Instagram and attending the Monaco Grand Prix, where Kim cheered on Lewis. In July, ahead of the British Grand Prix, Lewis hinted that things were going well between them. When an interviewer noted he seemed a 'much happier man this year' and asked whether that was due to his 'fast car or new girlfriend', Lewis quipped: 'That's a good one', going on to praise his 'iconic' Ferrari team, adding: 'The first year was obviously very tough, but for us to finally see the hard work that we've all been putting in get us back to where we want to be, and of course, of course, Kim.'
Just a couple of months earlier at the Super Bowl, Lewis had refused to speak about his love life, telling Sky Sports: 'It's my private life. I'm not talking about that.' Kim has also not spoken publicly about her new boyfriend, but he has become a regular fixture on her social media. Last month, she posted a slew of snaps from a holiday with Lewis and her children, including a shot walking arm-in-arm along the beach, captioned 'Somewhere over the rainbow'. In July, she shared a selfie with Chicago and Lewis, writing 'summers at the lake with my favourite people'.
Past Relationships and Future Outlook
Kim's love life is well documented. She was married to rapper Kanye West from 2014 to 2022 and welcomed four children with him. After their divorce, she had a highly publicised nine-month romance with Pete Davidson, which grew intense quickly and even resulted in him getting tattoos for her. In late 2023, it was reported that Kim was 'hanging out' with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., but by the following April, their connection had 'fizzled out'.
Lewis famously dated Nicole Scherzinger on-and-off from 2007 to 2015, with many convinced they would go the distance, but ultimately, 'busy schedules' led to them splitting for good. Sources have said Lewis is well and truly part of the family now, and they're both in it for the long haul. An insider recently told Us Weekly: 'Kim and Lewis are still very serious and committed to their relationship. It is the real deal for Kim and something she hasn't experienced in a long time.' The source added that they'd had a 'whirlwind summer' and are both now 'extremely busy', but they're making long-distance work.
