Speculation is mounting that Formula One legend Lewis Hamilton and American media mogul Kim Kardashian may be romantically involved, after the pair enjoyed an intimate weekend retreat together in the picturesque Cotswolds. The British seven-time world champion and the high-profile reality television star reportedly shared a secluded stay at the luxurious Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire, sparking widespread rumours of a new celebrity coupling.
Secluded Luxury Getaway Fuels Speculation
According to multiple reports, the duo indulged in a romantic countryside escape, far from the public eye. Kardashian, aged 45, is said to have travelled from Los Angeles aboard her private jet, valued at approximately £100 million, touching down at Oxford Airport before proceeding to the exclusive Grade II-listed venue. Hamilton reportedly arrived separately via helicopter from London's Battersea Heliport, adding to the discreet nature of their rendezvous.
Exclusive Use of Spa and Private Dining
Insiders reveal that the pair booked a couples' massage and were granted exclusive access to the spa facilities at the Witney-based country club. "It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer," a source disclosed. Their privacy was meticulously maintained, with bodyguards stationed discreetly to prevent interruptions. In the evening, they dined in a private suite, avoiding other guests entirely. "Estelle Manor is an incredible place to have a date, it's so luxurious and glamorous," the source added.
Discreet Arrivals and Coordinated Departure
Witnesses noted that Kardashian's arrival was deliberately low-key, flanked by two bodyguards as she was swiftly escorted inside. Hamilton followed approximately an hour later. Upon checking out, the pair departed together in the vehicles Kardashian had arrived in from the airport. An onlooker observed one of her protection officers carrying her notably expensive Birkin bag, estimated to be worth around £800,000, alongside multiple personalised suitcases. "Guests who spotted them were murmuring about it because although Estelle Manor normally gets famous – and very rich – guests, it's not every weekend Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton drop by," the onlooker remarked.
Longstanding Friendship and Past Connections
Hamilton and Kardashian have been acquainted for over a decade, first photographed together at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London back in 2014. The racing driver has maintained connections with Kardashian's family, including a friendship with her half-sister, supermodel Kendall Jenner, who joined him for a circuit lap at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. He has also spent time with matriarch Kris Jenner and was notably invited to an Easter brunch with the family in 2015, where he shared his music with Kardashian's then-partner, Kanye West.
Maintained Friendship Post-Separation
Following Kardashian's separation from West in 2021, she and Hamilton have continued their friendship, both being honoured at the Wall Street Journal's Innovators Awards. Hamilton previously posted a photograph of them backstage, captioning it, "It's such an honour to be recognised amongst a group of such remarkable talent." Their most recent public sighting together was after Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party, though they reportedly left separately. When questioned about her dating life in 2025, Kardashian stated she had not been in a relationship but remained open to the possibility, leaving the door ajar for these latest rumours.
Representatives for both Hamilton and Kardashian have been approached for comment regarding the dating speculation, but no official statements have been released at this time. The pair's deliberate privacy during their Cotswolds retreat continues to fuel intense media interest and public curiosity about the nature of their relationship.
