Celebrity headlines are buzzing again as rumoured couple Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian find themselves at the centre of fresh dating speculations – this time tied to a viral social media moment that has fans convinced the Formula 1 icon was cheering her on in the background. Kardashian – the undisputed high priestess of social media – shared a video of herself trying the viral “Titanic Challenge” with sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner. In the background, many viewers insist they heard an encouraging male voice resembling that of the British F1 racing driver, further fueling the ongoing buzz about their recent “outings” together.

Followers of the uber-celebrity were quick to point out a male voice – which many believe belongs to Lewis Hamilton – in the background, urging them to “push away”. Several fans even commented they recognised what sounded like his laugh. Hearts on social – Subtle hint?

I’m not talking about that.” Long-time friendship takes romantic turn?

According to The Express Tribune, they’ve maintained a friendly rapport for years – but their connection seemed to take on a new energy in early 2026. ‘Three dates in three days’: London, manor massages... and Paris But before fans start imagining wedding bells, insiders told People.com things are “still evolving” – and the duo is being careful not to rush the narrative. Their recent “outings”, including “three dates in three days” as per The Sun, however, paints a very different picture. Estelle Manor The Sun was first to lift the lid on the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s romantic weekend getaway in the country with the F1 ace, which included an intimate dinner and a couple’s massage.
