Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has intensified romance speculation with Kim Kardashian by commenting three heart-eyed emojis on her Instagram photos from the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 15. The gesture, his first overt public flirtation, sent fans into a frenzy amid ongoing dating rumors.
Following reports of casual dates including a Paris hotel arrival in early February and other getaways like Estelle Manor in England, Lake Powell, and a Super Bowl jumbotron appearance, Hamilton's emoji reaction to Kardashian's glittering Gucci gown look at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party marks a bolder step. Fans flooded the comments with excitement: 'It's official!' and 'He's in love.'
A Us Weekly insider shared: 'Because their relationship started with a friendship first, those closest to them believe this could be endgame... They are both very committed... Kim has been incredibly supportive.' Hamilton previously dismissed questions about his private life during February's Bahrain F1 press conference. Kardashian, who shares four children with ex-husband Kanye West, has been open about seeking a stable partner in their 40s.
The pair, acquainted for years, continues to spark interest with low-key outings evolving into public nods. Will this emoji drop signal something more serious?
