Kim Kardashian spotted with Broncos minority owner Lewis Hamilton

Kim Kardashian and Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton were spotted together in Paris on Monday, adding new fuel to persistent dating rumors. The meet up also revived a familiar sports folklore in the process.

The reality TV star and business mogul arrived at a Paris hotel, pulling up in an SUV with their respective teams in tow. Video from TMZ shows the scene with the pair keeping a low profile as they entered the hotel. Multiple reports indicated the two flew together on a private jet from the United Kingdom.

According to The Sun, Kardashian and Hamilton recently spent time at Estelle Manor, a luxury hotel and country club in England’s Cotswolds. The outlet reported the visit was “very romantic,” with the pair booking a couples massage and enjoying private access to the spa and pool.

Both were also in Aspen, Colorado, over New Year’s Eve for Kate Hudson’s annual party, though they were not photographed together at the event.

Neither Kardashian nor Hamilton has confirmed a relationship. And their Instagram accounts which combine for almost 400 million followers had no pictures of the two of them. Kardashian was last publicly linked to Odell Beckham Jr., while Hamilton was rumored to be dating Sofia Vergara last year.

Hamilton’s connection to the NFL adds another wrinkle to the reports. The seven-time Formula 1 champion became a minority owner of the Denver Broncos in 2022 as part of the Walton-Penner ownership group and is now in his fourth season with the franchise.

That has reignited chatter about the so-called “Kardashian curse,” a long-running pop-culture narrative tied to Kardashian’s past relationships with high-profile athletes. However, this time around, the storyline involves an NFL owner rather than a player, a first in the league’s modern era.
