Amid Kim Kardashian's alleged budding romance with Lewis Hamilton, her daughter, North West's reaction shocked fans.
Dating rumours involving F1 star, Lewis Hamilton and entrepreneur, Kim Kardashian have been circulating for a while now. It gained significant traction in early 2026. While earlier reports claimed the two had been platonic friends for a while, their recent high-profile sightings have fuelled speculation about a budding romance. Interest in Kim and Lewis' relationship status heightened as the duo was spotted together at Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026 (ET). Amid that, reports about Kim's eldest daughter, North West, have surfaced, raising eyebrows.
North West is reportedly a little sceptical about her mother, Kim Kardashian, 45, dating Ferrari driver, Lewis Hamilton, but she is not actively pushing back against it, as shared by insiders. The source described North as "not easily impressed" by her, the Skims owner's new partners, yet she doesn't dislike Lewis Hamilton. The Kardashian family views North's reaction as a positive sign for Kim's alleged new relationship. The source claimed that Lewis has been careful not to overstep and that he wasn't "not trying to be their dad," but was simply "showing up" when needed. The insider stated:
"The kids like him. They really do. Lewis is calm, respectful, and very present. That matters. He's not trying to be their dad; he's just showing up...North hasn't pushed back; that's huge."
Lewis Hamilton has reportedly met Kim's children in low-key, private settings to avoid paparazzi pressure. The 41-year-old racing star has been really good to Kim's kids, according to the insider. Another source close to Kim claimed that Kim Kardashian was also taking things slowly with Lewis and carefully moving the relationship forward, as she "won't risk her kids' trust for anyone." For Kim, her children were her utmost priority and then came romance.
North West is known as a daddy's girl and is often seen happiest around her father, Kanye West. Even the source who shared North's reaction regarding Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's alleged relationship described North as "fiercely loyal" to her Kanye West. However, regarding Kim and Lewis' relationship, North and Kanye were shockingly not on the same page. Kanye is reportedly "jealous" and finding the situation "weird", particularly because he is having to se another man taking his place in Kim and her family's life. The source was quoted as saying:
"Ye is jealous; yup, it feels weird for him. It is always strange for him to see his ex-wife out with another man. It felt weird with Pete Davidson, and now it feels weird with Lewis Hamilton. That used to be Ye's family; now Lewis is there. It's hard to see."
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's dating rumours began swirling in late January and early February 2026. Reports of a romantic connection between the reality TV star and Ferrari driver surfaced when both stars attended Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen, though they were not photographed together at that time. Rumours intensified when they were reported to have spent a very romantic weekend at Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds, UK, in January 2026. They allegedly enjoyed private spa access and couples' massages.
Lewis and Kim were photographed boarding a private jet from the UK to Paris on February 2, 2026 and were later seen arriving at a luxury hotel together. However, the duo's first major public appearance was their February 8, 2026, attendance at the Super Bowl. Following that, some media outlets reported that Lewis and Kim were exploring a romantic relationship, although neither star has issued a formal statement about it. Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's dating rumours heightened during their latest 2026 Super Bowl LX appearance.
