Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton fuel romance rumors during Tokyo trip

Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton and reality star Kim Kardashian just threw fuel on the viral dating rumors. 

While the pair have yet to officially confirm they're an item, they're continuing to travel the globe together, suggesting that a budding relationship is indeed happening behind the scenes. 

Over the weekend, the F1 driver and "Keeping up with the Kardashians" star didn't try to hide their latest hangout when they stepped out on the streets of Tokyo together with Kim's sister, Khloe Kardashian.

In video footage obtained by "TMZ,"  Hamilton, 41, and Kim, 45, seemed happy as they took a casual stroll through the Japanese city.

At one point in the video, the reality star and ex-wife of rapper Kanye West stopped and looked back to acknowledge an eager fan. 

In the short clip, Kim was sporting a form-fitting gray maxi dress paired with black stiletto heels, while Hamilton was dressed casually in a brown coat and dark pants. 

"Two icons, both at the top of their games, navigating their own lanes—and now, maybe, together," one fan commented on X. 

"This isn’t dating, this is a world tour soft launch Tokyo already? We’re moving FAST fast," a second wrote. 

"that’s a global pairing people didn’t see coming," a third added.

"Looks like Kim and Lewis are taking their romance international!" another commented. 

It's unclear what the pair plan on doing while in Tokyo. 

Hamilton is on a short break after placing third in the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, while Kardashian continues to film her Hulu reality show while juggling her acting career, law school, motherhood, and Skims business.
