Lewis Hamilton's reported relationship with Kim Kardashian has renewed interest in the Formula 1 champion's long history with the Kardashian-Jenner family. Before he was linked to Kim, Hamilton was rumoured to have dated her younger sister, Kendall Jenner, more than a decade ago. While those rumours were never confirmed, the connection has become a talking point again as Hamilton and Kim continue to make headlines.
Hamilton has always kept his personal life out of the spotlight. Even when dating rumours followed him, the Ferrari driver rarely discussed them in public. That approach has remained the same throughout his connections with both Kendall and Kim.
How Lewis Hamilton Was Linked to Kendall Jenner
Hamilton and Kendall Jenner first sparked dating rumours in 2015 after they were seen together during the Monaco Grand Prix.

Jenner attended the race weekend with friends, including Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Kylie Jenner, and was photographed supporting Hamilton from the Mercedes garage.
The speculation grew after Jenner was photographed wearing one of Hamilton's gold chains during the Monaco trip. The pair were later seen together again during New York Fashion Week, leading many fans to believe they had started dating.

Despite the rumours, Hamilton quickly shut down the claims. Speaking to E! News in September 2015, he said, 'Me and Kendall have been friends for a while, so we're just friends', while also praising the model for being 'focused' and 'very grown up'.
The Rumours Faded but the Friendship Remained
After Hamilton addressed the speculation, there was little evidence to suggest the pair were in a romantic relationship. They continued moving in the same celebrity circles but were no longer regularly photographed together.
Neither Hamilton nor Jenner has ever confirmed that they dated. As a result, most reports now describe them as friends who were linked by rumours rather than former partners.
Hamilton has built a reputation for keeping his relationships private since his split from singer Nicole Scherzinger in 2015. Over the years, he has been linked to several celebrities, although many of those reports have never been confirmed.
Kim Kardashian Brings the Story Full Circle
Interest in Hamilton's Kardashian connection returned after reports linked him to Kim Kardashian. The pair have been spotted together several times since early 2026, and Kim has recently shared photos featuring Hamilton alongside her family, adding to speculation that their relationship has become more serious.

The reported romance has also prompted fans to revisit Hamilton's earlier link with Kendall Jenner. Although the situations are very different, the fact that Hamilton has now been connected to two sisters from the Kardashian-Jenner family has fuelled online discussion.

Hamilton and Kim have not publicly spoken in detail about their relationship. However, the renewed attention has also brought back memories of the racing star's brief and unconfirmed dating rumours with Kendall more than ten years ago.
Why Fans Are Looking Back at Hamilton's Kardashian History
Whether Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian confirm their reported romance or not, the renewed attention has brought his past back into focus. Fans have started revisiting the Formula 1 star's rumoured connection with Kendall Jenner, even though both insisted they were only friends. The timeline has become a popular topic online as people compare his past and present links to the famous family.
For now, the only confirmed facts are that Hamilton and Kendall were photographed together several times in 2015 and that he publicly denied they were dating. His recent appearances with Kim Kardashian have sparked a fresh wave of speculation, but neither has confirmed the nature of their relationship.
Until either of them speaks publicly, Hamilton's connections to both Kardashian sisters remain one of the most talked-about celebrity stories surrounding the Ferrari driver.
